Flash

Rainbow Bridge
  • Our first Basenji was named Flash, he passed away after Christmas a few years ago at the age of fifteen or so.

    He loved getting into the trash and climbing fences. I remember him getting out of the backyard one rainy summer day. I put on a raincoat and went out looking for him yelling Flash, Flasher when I remembered I was wearing shorts, I looked down and all I saw was my bare legs sticking out from under my raincoat, Flash was not a good thing to be yelling dressed like that so I ran back to the house and put on some long pants. When I came back outside he was standing at the backdoor acting like nothing happened.

    Once he managed to lock himself in the bathroom while I was at work. There was a unopened case of bathroom tissue in there, the floor was six inches deep with completely shredded paper. The trim around the door ripped off and the drywall torn up.

    He could be a real pain sometimes but we loved him anyway.

  • I love the "flash" story!!! I can see it now!! :eek:

  • What wonderful, funny memories you have of your Flash! Thank-you for sharing them and for the chuckle!

  • Wonderful funny and fretful memories. The things we do for love . . .

    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!
