"Benny" and "Groovy"

Rainbow Bridge

  • On 11/19/2007, my beloved "Benny" lost his battle with Fanconi Syndrome. He had done so very well for nearly two years and this last month just went on a downhill slide.
    "Benny" was a well-decorated basenji…. with four Specialty BIS wins... two BIF wins.... and national specialty AOM.... as well as making it on the Stud Dog Honor Roll from one litter of puppies.
    He was my true 'everything' dog and was one of the best ambassadors to the basenji breed. His loss has left a huge hole in our family, as well as to those that knew him even a tiny bit.
    "Benny" was also known as:
    MBISS SBOS BIF SBIF Am DC Can CH Khani's Benny N The Jets JC SC MC FCh AOM SDHR.

    On 11/26/2007, we learned that our handsome black boy, "Groovy" was found dead after a cougar atack.
    Groovy was a great family dog, shown and handled by many different friends... his first win was a 5-point major (his 2nd show) at the EBC specialty...and his last major win was a 4-point major at the WVBC Winter 2004 specialty.
    Groovy got along with everyone.. intact males and females alike... it was a very sad day to learn about his loss. He will be dearly missed by all.

    Benny and groovy will be keeping De La company, raiding the counter and killing annoying little squirrels that spend their days antagonizing them!

    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!

    Sorry for your losses. I have been trying not to buy cooking/eating items made in China. I remember when I lived in Houston and there was a recall for ceramic items that had lead in them. There was a mention of testing items for lead that one could do at home and I believe send in. You might want to do a google search. Jennifer
