Sukani


  • I work with a gal that was in the Peace Corps in 1996. She purchased a "village dog" for $4 in the Central African Republic, along the Ubangui River.

    She named her Sukani. She was red & white and resembled a basenji a tiny bit for her coloring. She barked, wasn't prey driven, and had long fur once she moved to Washington!

    She is putting her to sleep today. I have pictures of Sukani in an email but can't seem to copy them right to post them here. She turned 14 in January. I know she probably outlived her littermates by 10 years.

    I am thinking of her today…....


  • Sorry to hear that a special dog friend is going over the bridge. Pass on my condolences to your friend.


  • Very sorry to hear of Sukani

  • Houston

    So sorry to hear of Sukani and your friend. My thoughts are with her today.


  • Tell your friend that I am very sorry for her loss. It's the most difficult but most kind decision she can ever make. Sukani will be in a better place, remembering with happiness her wonderful life with her human companion and patiently waiting for them to meet again.


  • Please pass on my condolences to your friend. What a wonderfully long life Sukani had. I'd love to hear the story from village dog/Peace Corp. to Washington.


  • Sorry to hear about the loss of this special friend…
    Our thoughts go out to the people that known her...

    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

    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.
