Silky, I miss you…

  • I am so sorry.

    It is one reason I never leave collars on. Freak accidents happen. Had friend who had 2 pups playing in back yard, one got jaw caught in the collar of the other and broke it's jaw and killed it before she was aware.


  • My heart is aching for you. The loss of our loved companions is never easy.


  • I was really little when she died, so I don't really remember her.


  • Thank you for sharing about your loss. You have helped me - I think that I will take Kipawa's collar off whenever I put him in his crate.


  • @Kipawa:

    Me too ! ….............


  • I have 1 yr old female and 2 1/2 y/o male basenjis..they are great but I would love to be able to see if they would get along with my 2 dobies..I have plenty of fenced separate spaces for both pairs ..but would love to be able to trust them together..my instinct tells me not to try..any ideas??


  • I NEVER leave collars on my B when he is crated. He hates his crate and will throw fits which could spell disaster should it get stuck in the bars or something.

    I am sorry for your loss :(

    Why are you afraid of mixing them? Have you let them together with supervision and had a problem? Are the Dobes same sex or male/female? Are they spayed neutered?


  • I am not sure I understand this thread.


  • @sharronhurlbut:

    I am not sure I understand this thread.

    I don't either. I really wish people would start new threads instead of starting up a conversation inside someone else's thread. It is especially disrespectful to be posting on a eulogy post.


  • So sorry, my husband lost a boxer puppy to a crate accident when he was a child, somehow the pup pushed open part of the door and strangled.


  • So sorry for your loss. I lost my 10 yrs old Boy to Lung Cancer a month ago. I know the pain that comes with our little buddies passing on:(

    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/

    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!
  • Nice gift from sons

    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.
  • We had a great run!

    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 :)
