Just me


  • "and God said I do set my bow in the cloud
    and it shall be a covenant between Me and the Earth and every living ceature that is upon the Earth." (Rainbow bridge). Heaven has dogs!!! I lost my best friend last September. I had a couple of dogs as a kid but he was the first of my very own. I got him by way of a co-worker involved in general dog rescue and as soon as I changed apartments to a place that would take pets I told her to find one for me. She took me to see 3 dogs one evening and I just thought Bisquit was the cutest. I loved the clean lines and the expressive face. I had no idea about what it meant to have a Basenji. I went home, thought about it for a day and went with the cutest. Wow!! What an experience! He was nothing like either of the dogs I had as a kid and nothing like any dog I talked to people about. He was, however, my best friend, my wing man, my confidante, a conversation piece, escape artist, and all-around great dog. We learned to live together. He moved with me 3 times and adapted wonderfully. Despite having a new guy, I still miss him.

    There will always be a hole in our hearts for those we have lost, but our hearts grow larger every time we find a new friend.

    Very sweet and I understand exactly what you mean. I just lost my first (dog)love in march , my Westie, Bogus, and yes I got Otis my B after that, not to replace Bogus but to be with us as a family to remember Bogus by, and also to help us find a new love..we later, one month exactly lost our second (dog) love, Lou, our beloved mutt of 13 years. I t has been a very hard spring, but Otis is helping us see the highlight in owning a dog even though it isn't as long as you wish..


  • As long as we keep them in our hearts they are always with us. I lost my min schnauzer over 10 years ago and I still miss him and would just love to hold him again. I had him before my daughter he was my child my baby I really loved that dog. You can never replace but you can love your new guy. Good luck

    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

    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.
