Rosie's name is Nina

Basenji Talk
  • yes.. it really is… they are really nice people .......

  • Happy endings for everyone! Obviously the cosmos knew who Rosie should be with. Kudos to her first family for understanding that Rosie/Nina would be safer and much better off with you. And since you all live so close, it's not like they will never see her again. When I hear about things like this, I feel my faith in the human race is restored a little more.

  • I know.. i was so amazed by this family, they were incredible, very nice people indeed….

  • That is such a nice story. Thanks for sharing. And are you calling her Rosie or Nina now?

  • It was obviously meant to be and I'm very happy for you all.

  • I am glad they did what was best for the dog! I would keep her name as Rosie.

  • I call her Rosie… it just stuck.....

  • Thank you for sharing! It reminds me of the saying, "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it is yours. If not, it never was…". It's so nice to hear a happy ending. Here's a baroo to Rosie dear! :)

  • Thanks you for sharing that wonderful story! They got to have closure and know what happened to their pup, and you got her back in the end. I'm sure that first night was awful, but you did the right thing to let them take her, and they did the right thing to give her back to you! "Win-win" all around.

  • That was such a heartwarming story, I am using a Kleenex now!!! I am happy for all those involved, especially you and Rosie, since that Rottie does not seem like a good mix at the house….!

  • It was a very strange week for me. That day, I went out for my daily walk and two hours later I didnt have Rosie anymore.. It was awful, and I felt good for them, but at the same time I felt angry and wasn't sure if I should have waited a few days before returning her.. I hate when I make such quick decisions, I always wonder if I did the right thing.
    The next morning I'm driving to work and the phone rings …..
    then I knew I had done the right thing, because they really had her well being in mind and they were very concerned that the Rottie would hurt her. and since we live close by, we see each other often now. I walk by their house , usually on weekends.....

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.

    @Lenora: She had got up from her nap, gone into the bedroom and knocked the ironing board over on her head, all in the space of less than a minute! LOL. Bella almost beaned herself during Christmas. She jumped up on the hearth and tried to pull down one of the stockings. It was held up by a very heavy wrought iron stocking holder. I heard it hit the floor and came into find her with the stocking in her mouth. It must have just missed her by an inch or so. She had gone for 3 weeks with no interest in the stockings. Don't know why they managed to get her attention that particular day. I sure hope she calms down at least a little bit when she's older. :eek:

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
