Had to give up my B's - and I miss them

  • To spare you all the crappy details –- let's just say that upon finding out about my husband and his "girlfriend", I decided it was time for me to leave the marriage.

    I also decided that it was best for me to start clean and the emotional attachment I had to our 2 beautiful basenji's was too much for me....and I couldn't pick one over the other or even think about separating the 2.

    So, here I am, alone and looking for a new basenji to fill one of the holes in my heart.....Here's hoping I find a cute little bugger to warm up to me and love me unconditionally for who I am --- I know basenji's are great at that...their yodels tell me so!

    Here's hoping I can find a cute pup!
    Cheers!

  • Hi 6_kristy! Welcome to Basenji Forums!

    If you are looking for a new basenji you should post a wanted ad in the Basenjis For Sale or Wanted thread. We have a lot of great breeders and BRAT member that can help you out.

  • welcome! (I'm new too)

    that was a sad story, I wish you the best of luck finding the right b to start the next chapter in your life with.

  • Also, if you're looking for an "older" basenji that might make your life easier. There are lots of basenjis who are done showing and are in need of a home. Also, BRAT could help you with finding you a basenji that may have come from the same type of circumstances that you had with your two. Good luck!

  • a crappy a**hole like that doesnt deserve two great basenjis!! sorry to hear you had to part with your pups! GOOD LUCK finding a new one and starting another better chapter!!

    Thank you for saying these wonderful things about the mature Bs. My Black Magic lived to 171/2 and only started going down the last 6 months of her life. There is plenty of love in the B's without so much of the puppitis that infects them until age 5 or 6! Cherry just wants to do what is best for these 4. So thank you for the words and send anyone searching to us to get them connected. God Bless, Dawn

    Welcome Jackie. The ideas about leaving Akila alone for a short time and then lengthening the time have worked in the past for us. The soft things with familiar smell also should help. One other trick we have tried is to leave a TV or radio on at low levels. Talk radio or TV seems to work, but not too loud! Welcome back to the wonderful world of Basenjis Tom

    They also need to have plenty of available things they are allowed to chew on! They are not a dog that can be allowed to get bored while unattended, not if you value your shoes, pencils, pillows, chair legs. . . . Awesome breed,though! No doubt about it. I'm glad I stumbled into them. I'd always heard about them when I was a kid,but it was just that they were "those African Barkless dogs". That's all I knew. I'm hooked now though. Two years ago Bloodhounds were my favorite dog. Now it's Basenji all the way! There are just no other dogs like them.
