My Patsy

Rainbow Bridge

  • I am sorry for your loss. Perhaps one day you will have another basenji? Welcome to the forum!!


  • Thanks for your kind words. I have thought about another Basenji but I think I need to retire (not too far off) first so I have plenty of time for all the energy. Patsy was a little slower and happier to sleep a lot in her old age.


  • I'm so sorry to hear of your loss - it's never easy when our treasured friends leave. I smiled when I read about her antics and hope that your fond memories of her will comfort you. It is clear that she was truely loved.

    My deepest sympathy

  • So sorry for your loss-the hardest thing is coming home to an empty bed.


  • Patsy sounds like she was a delightful purebred Basenji, and was loved very much for it. I just hope I can enjoy my B, Sahara as long as you had Patsy. I hope you will oneday (when you retire) get another Basenji, they are the best and make us happy with their antics. Good Luck!


  • Kathy, I'm so sorry to read of your loss. Of course my tears are welling up in my eyes at your beautiful life with Patsy and of the treasured life you gave her. Of course you cannot replace Patsy but you can give a whole new gift to another basenji.
    Peace to Patsy and to your heart.

  • I am so sorry for your loss. What a lovely life Patsy had with you (and vice versa). Maybe joining this forum will help you through this difficult time while reading and laughing at our stories…


  • Everyone has been so kind…it has helped to ease some of the pain. I have enjoyed looking at the pictures on the site and also loved reading the stories...seems they all have a bit of a naughty streak. Patsy was our loved little girl and she was a treasure..she chose me when she arrived at our house and it stayed that way for 16 1/2 years:)


  • Thanks for sharing the great Patsy story. I just put one of mine to sleep on 5/3. He was 14-1/2. The love of tissue shreading and garbage eating is in the Basenji genes.


  • I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Patsy..I have tears in my eyes…it is obvious that she was loved and gave love...a cherished family member...that old saying "Time heals all wounds" I have found is not true but time does allow for longer periods between the grieving...God bless you...

    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/

    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.
