    The picture on the stairs is priceless. They look like they were good pals. Hope your hearts are healing.

    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.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Cleo reminds me so much of our Lab/B cross, Kia. At 13, she's starting to get stiff and impatient with her two Basenji brothers, but she's also been a kind and patient "nanny dog" to a number of lost-soul male Basenji fosters. To suggest an answer to your question, same sex dogs don't always bond as well as opposite genders. Kia and my first B, Sam I Am, never got along–both females, so not surprising. And most of my male foster/forever Basenjis have worshiped the two females--but only tolerated each other. But don't be surprised if Bassit starts displaying Cleo's mannerisms or behaviours if you ever adopt a little brother for her. When my Sam I Am passed away, very uncharacteristically Ben took up her duties as "Little Mother" to the next foster, surrendering his food bowl, cleaning and hovering like a mother hen-- with the same devotion that Sam had lavished on him.

    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 :)
