Timmy

Rainbow Bridge

  • I am deeply sorry for your loss…

    Basenjis can fit a lifetime of love and energy into even just a day...so I imagine two weeks was way enough for the little guy to take up your hearts.

    You did not fail him...accidents sadly enough happen to everyone. Our thoughts are with you. May you find Timmy waiting for you at the bridge.


  • Jessica, so so sorry to hear of your loss of sweet Timmy. They are so quick to burrow deep into your heart, and no matter when we lose them it's too soon, but I know this was doubly hard for you.

    Our deepest condolences.

    Terry


  • I am so, so sorry to read this, how devastating for you guys. :- (
    Please know that there is an entire Basenji community that grieves with you.

  • I.m so sorry that you had to lose him so early.


  • I am very sorry to hear of your loss of Timmy.
    Run free little boy


  • Thank you all for your kind words. I was away in WI when I got the news that Timmy got loose. My daughter was in a hurry to get out the door in the morning to go to school. She had the closest bond with Timmy, even though I think I'm taking it the hardest. There are so many "only if's" that play over and over in my head but I know they're just torture. I just feel like we have a basenji black cloud over us. Perhaps one day we will try again. Thank you again everyone.

    I shed tears for you. What you did write was so sad…..Keep on keeping on...and when you are ready......maybe if you search on Petfinder or BRAT you can feel like you saved a discarded one. (The more challenging the better for you!!hehehe) I for one kept on searching, and did finally get to help out when I too felt like I let Buddy down by not having him leashed 100% of his life.. But life happens...Death is a part of life, too early for us sometimes, but none the less a part of living....Just think -you gave Timmy the best weeks of his short life. I know you did because you heartfeltfully wrote about him here!

  • So very sorry for your pain and loss. Some things are just not meant to be, small consolation that it was quick and painless. So many basenjis meet the same fate, bolting out a door. Like Buddy's Pal says, keep your heart open and the right one will come along for you. Hugs.


  • I feel terrible that we let Brenda down too. She put so much love and time into making Timmy such a wonderful boy.

    @Chealsie508:

    My condolences to you, your family and to Brenda at signet Kennels. I'm sure you are all feeling the loss


  • More hugs for you in your anguish.

    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!

    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.

    timmy will never be replaced. life goes on. you will always remember him and the wonderful two weeks you had with him. unfortunately, you learned a hard lesson.. basenjis are fast, escape artists. i almost lost my boy 2 days after i got him. he has horrible seperation anxiety. the first twenty minutes i left him alone, he escaped onto my balcony, ate threw the screen and jumped a whole floor down to the ground. SO many things could have gone wrong. i learned my lesson. i'm so lucky to have him here. what happened to timmy is not uncommon. basenjis are just two smart and too fast for their own good.. don't give up on your hisband. let him mourn. just reassure him it wasn't his fault and it could have happened to anyone. my prayers are with you and your family. you'll find the right dog at the right time. <3
