Jack the Dalmation


  • Abbey's buddy Jack the Dalmation died this morning. He was 16 years old and a good dog. She always rushed to see him when he was outside, and he always perked up whenever Abbey was around. He was a quiet well mannered fella but his "dad" says in his younger days he chewed up a queen sized mattress, all the sofa cushions, and the J pipe under the bathroom sink. We'll miss him.


  • I'm so sorry for her (and your) loss. It sounds like Abbey made his last years more enjoyable. I'm sure he's chewing up mattresses, etc. and acting like a pup on the other side…My thoughts are with his "dad", you and Abbey.


  • So sorry for your loss Lenora. You and Jack are lucky to have 16 years together. Keep happy thoughts and memories of him when you feel sad.


  • I am so sorry for your loss. I know how badly that can hurt. I have to concentrate on my current furbaby to keep from bawling over the one I lost last november. Good luck to 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/

    Am so very sorry, Alex. My tri boy Mr.T will be 12 in December. We lost our last 2 b's at ages 17 (Jenna went in her sleep), but Zak I had to have PTS as he had dementia really bad. Its never easy loosing these furkids. Kiya will live forever in your heart and memories, never to be forgotten. She is running with the wind and sunning herself in the warmth of the sun. Until you all meet again, someday. HUGS

    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!

    Hi Kira I haven't been here in a long time. I actually recently had twin girls. I came here "looking" for you to see how Jack was doing with Aiden. I had so many questions to ask and I found this instead. My heart broke & the tears were overwhelming to see what happened to little Jack. I'm SOOOO incredibly sorry for your loss. It sounds like it was an impossible situation with not many options. I'm so sorry Aiden lost his little pal too. My husband sometimes thinks about how our girls will be so sad when our dogs have to cross over. It's all they'll ever know. HUGS TO YOU from one B-mommy to another!! Here's to you Capt. Jack may your little B spirit live on & I hope you have big fields to run & play up there :)
