"Benny" and "Groovy"

Rainbow Bridge

  • On 11/19/2007, my beloved "Benny" lost his battle with Fanconi Syndrome. He had done so very well for nearly two years and this last month just went on a downhill slide.
    "Benny" was a well-decorated basenji…. with four Specialty BIS wins... two BIF wins.... and national specialty AOM.... as well as making it on the Stud Dog Honor Roll from one litter of puppies.
    He was my true 'everything' dog and was one of the best ambassadors to the basenji breed. His loss has left a huge hole in our family, as well as to those that knew him even a tiny bit.
    "Benny" was also known as:
    MBISS SBOS BIF SBIF Am DC Can CH Khani's Benny N The Jets JC SC MC FCh AOM SDHR.

    On 11/26/2007, we learned that our handsome black boy, "Groovy" was found dead after a cougar atack.
    Groovy was a great family dog, shown and handled by many different friends... his first win was a 5-point major (his 2nd show) at the EBC specialty...and his last major win was a 4-point major at the WVBC Winter 2004 specialty.
    Groovy got along with everyone.. intact males and females alike... it was a very sad day to learn about his loss. He will be dearly missed by all.

    Benny and groovy will be keeping De La company, raiding the counter and killing annoying little squirrels that spend their days antagonizing them!

    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/

    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.

    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.

    From the UK I'll be thinking of you all at your Gramma's service and sending loving thoughts. Please tell me, are dogs allowed at funeral services. They are in most cases here at the permission of the Minister?
