• I'm sorry about Sadie, she was a well loved little girl, obviously.


  • I'm sorry about Sadie 😞 It sounds like she had a great life with you 🙂


  • I'm very sorry for your loss of Sadie. What a pretty girl.


  • My condolences to you on Sadie's passing. I think that all of our little animal friends are precious to us.


  • Sorry to hear of Sadie's passing… rats make wonderful pets... my neice had one for 4yrs... she was just too cute!


  • Many years ago I raised rats. They make the most wonderful pets; so affectionate, clean, and trainable. Their lifespans are just way too short. I am sorry for your loss.


  • Rats, cats, our Basenjis or any other animal who is loved is long missed - so sorry for your loss.

    Kim,
    I am so sorry to hear about Sadie. I think all our pets are loved by us, no matter what kind.

    Here in the states I have seen them called Dumbo rats as well, due to their Dumbo sized ears. She was adorable.

  • First Basenji's

    Hello, I am new to this forum, but I am sorry for your loss, I had to let my Bindi go to a shelter (My basenji girl. ) Had her for 2 yrs but she was very sick due to Backyard breeder. She was the sweetest and lovingest little b girl. Still have my sweet Khyroe so he is helping with the grieving part of losing Bindi. So sorry about Sadie. She was a cute little Rat. Basenjis do give good hugs and they know when you are hurting. They like to cuddle for the most part as well. LOL


  • Thank you all for your support 🙂

    We're taking her to my mom and dad today, it's someting our family does for many many years with all our little pets that passed away: She will get her own place in the backyard between all the other pets..
    We just think it's weird to "trow" your beloved pets away…


  • Kim, I totally agree with giving our loving animals a nice final resting place. We have a lovely urn for our darling Miss Mew - our best 'mommy' cat who took on the role of mother for other kitten strays we gave a home to. She was a special lady and she still 'lives' here with everyone who loved her.
