Rosco Houdini the Great

    We gave him the middle name Houdini because when we went to pick him up, he ran under the breeder's fence and escaped! Our beloved boy had to be put to sleep last week and oh, how we miss him! It is so strange to be able to spread homework papers out on the floor and not have him stand on them and puncture them… or be able to put food on the table and leave it there without a stealth basenji sneaking his way up to the table. It is strange to walk up the stairs without Rosco zooming by, wanting to be wherever we are. Thank you, dear boy, for sharing with us the joy of living.

    I am saddened by your loss. It is SO hard to lose a beloved pet. Holding on to the memories helps. I hope you are able to share your love with another dog in the future.

    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/

    So sorry for the loss of your family member and also that you had the extra stress of finding an alternative vet. The photos are a lovely tribute and my favourite is the one of her in the swim suit too!

    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.

    thoes are beautiful. My grandmother actually got the statue of the red and white you have on the bottom. I keep it on the fire place mantle so I am always being watched over. I am sorry for your loss.
