Timmy

[eeeefarm]

What a terrible thing to happen. Take time to grieve for him, and be gentle with yourself. Bad things happen to all of us, and I know from experience that the guilt is hard to bear when accidents happen.

My condolences to you, your family and to Brenda at signet Kennels. I'm sure you are all feeling the loss

Oh no! I'm really sorry to hear this. I remember viewings pics of Timmy a few weeks ago. Some Basenjis are so quick to get out a door. I've had it happen. It's tragic but at least Timmy didn't suffer. Run free at the Rainbow bridge Timmy!

I am deeply sorry for your loss…

Basenjis can fit a lifetime of love and energy into even just a day...so I imagine two weeks was way enough for the little guy to take up your hearts.

You did not fail him...accidents sadly enough happen to everyone. Our thoughts are with you. May you find Timmy waiting for you at the bridge.

Jessica, so so sorry to hear of your loss of sweet Timmy. They are so quick to burrow deep into your heart, and no matter when we lose them it's too soon, but I know this was doubly hard for you.

Our deepest condolences.

Run free little boy

Thank you all for your kind words. I was away in WI when I got the news that Timmy got loose. My daughter was in a hurry to get out the door in the morning to go to school. She had the closest bond with Timmy, even though I think I'm taking it the hardest. There are so many "only if's" that play over and over in my head but I know they're just torture. I just feel like we have a basenji black cloud over us. Perhaps one day we will try again. Thank you again everyone.

I shed tears for you. What you did write was so sad…..Keep on keeping on...and when you are ready......maybe if you search on Petfinder or BRAT you can feel like you saved a discarded one. (The more challenging the better for you!!hehehe) I for one kept on searching, and did finally get to help out when I too felt like I let Buddy down by not having him leashed 100% of his life.. But life happens...Death is a part of life, too early for us sometimes, but none the less a part of living....Just think -you gave Timmy the best weeks of his short life. I know you did because you heartfeltfully wrote about him here!

So very sorry for your pain and loss. Some things are just not meant to be, small consolation that it was quick and painless. So many basenjis meet the same fate, bolting out a door. Like Buddy's Pal says, keep your heart open and the right one will come along for you. Hugs.

I feel terrible that we let Brenda down too. She put so much love and time into making Timmy such a wonderful boy.
