Sorry to hear of your loss, it is hard when they go! She was a beauty!!!! I lost 2 pups and a cat within 8 months and we could not stand the quiet! Now have 2 pups again, and are so thrilled!! :D Carole
Deepest sympathy. De La was a beautiful girl. I'm sure many will tell you the kindest way to honor her memory and impact on your life is to one day, when you are ready, offer love to another Basenji.
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!
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.
