    'Rough Day'

    I had a 9:00 a.m. flight this morning to Charlotte it got canceled due to tornadoes in the area. So I went out side the terminal had a couple of smokes came in took a leak. It was like an all handicapped bathroom, there were no urinals. Finished up and washed my hands, the female janitor came in and looked at me and said "you don't belong here, ladies room!" I just relieved myself in the womans bathroom. At least she had a sense of humor about it.

    Flight finally took of at 4:20 p.m. got here fast and which was nice. Called in to tell my wife I got here and she broke the news that one of my 2 dogs got hit and killed. Broke my damn heart. We took him because no one else wanted him about 7 years ago. He was my wifes baby when we thought we could not have kids. He was a pretty laid back dog that helped us both in some hard times years ago. I give him and my other dog credit for pulling me out of the depression I suffered after my mom died in '97 and my dad in 2000.
    The part that really sucks is that we are just weeks away from having a yard he could have been in safely.

    R.I.P. Yancy "

    He asked me to do some photo editing for him. Please see my photo gallery titled "A Tribute to Yancy":

  • So sad and I think all of us who have loved a lost a dog (or any pet) can relate. What beautiful pictures.

  • How sad to lose a friend. The tribute is lovely.


  • How very sad. Yancy (what a great name!) certainly was a beautiful dog.


  • Yancy will surely be missed. She looks so-so sweet. Your photoshop work is awsome! The last one really got to me - (sniff-sniff) It is a beautiful picture.


  • Sorry to hear that your friend lost Yancy, he seems to have done his part here on earth by helping your friend with depression. I am sure that his loss is not easy and he will never be forgotten.

    How wonderful that you photoshopped those Rainbow Bridge pictures as a tribute to Yancy. Please pass your condolensces to your friend for us.


  • That is so – I can relate because my previous beasie (wizard) went that way too. :( Great pictures - especially with the Rainbow Bridge.


  • I know what it is like to loose a dog to a sudden car accident (hit & run). My heart goes to you and your family at this time.


  • uh-oh. looks like a spammer.

    I so sorry for your loss. It is never easy losing one of our beloved pets. If you are on Reddit, there is a subreddit where you can request portraits of your pets that have passed on. Maybe you can have one created with both of your beloved Basenjis. https://www.reddit.com/r/RainbowBridgeBabies/comments/b21pu0/how_to_request_and_about_us/

    Am so very sorry, Alex. My tri boy Mr.T will be 12 in December. We lost our last 2 b's at ages 17 (Jenna went in her sleep), but Zak I had to have PTS as he had dementia really bad. Its never easy loosing these furkids. Kiya will live forever in your heart and memories, never to be forgotten. She is running with the wind and sunning herself in the warmth of the sun. Until you all meet again, someday. HUGS

    My brother in law gave me a plaque that says: "It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." I am sorry for your loss.
  • We had a great run!

    I am SO sorry to hear of the passing of your Sweet Cosmo. I know the hole she leaves in your heart, but she left knowing that she was loved as much as she could be loved and I am sure she loved you the same! I feel confident that we will be reunited with our dear Basenjis one day. Sending love and prayers for both of you.
