I am so sorry! Especially after everything you went through with him…the adjustment with Aiden and your dumb ass neighbors...he is lucky to have had such a good family, though, that was willing to give him a life full of love no matter what! My thoughts are with you! Remember, you can always talk to the people here, even though we may not all know what you are going through, we all know what its like to love a basenji as much as you did!

My condolences to you and the family. I know you worked so hard with Jack. It's tough to loose a best friend / family member, one who shares without asking anything in return other than love. Jack can never be replaced by another but another can help fill the void. Hope you find peace.

Now that I can see through my tears, I had to post again. My heart is breaking for you.
The love and companionship these dogs bring to our lives is long lived and not soon forgotten. May your personal superior being grant you comfort and ease your pain.
I hope in the months to come, the sweet memories of your Capt. Jack help to relieve some of the pain.
I echo your personal sentiments in my prayers to you…Good Boy Jackers...Good Boy.

Thank you all for your prayers! I cannot go into all the details, but unfortunatly Jack bit the neighbor & a Police Officer and since he has a bite record We got a warning of Eviction from the Navy Housing so we had no choice but to try and find him a new home (as our house now has TONS of children in our yard bc we are next to a playground now) BRAT was the first I called and they told me that since he has a bite record they cannot take him and their advice was to have him put down. No vet would put him down (trust me that was my LAST resort) and the Vets said I should give him to the pound…The Pound wouldnt take him either bc of the bite record and said if I tried to sell him Id get sued if he bit the next owner...I contacted the Animal control who delt with his Quarinteen and know Jack well and they offered to take him and think about finding a foster home but under a deadline...Needless to say, because of Liability, there was no other option. To make matters worse, the vet that took Jack said he had cancer that showed up in his xrays...and told me that the pain from that could have been the cause of Jacks biting...We decided after MUCH thought that the best thing to do would be to put him down...i feel like I failed Jack and its all my fault...I should have found the cancer faster...maybe i could have done somthing...

I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Please don't blame yourself, you didn't know and it does no one any good…believe me, I've been there. You gave him a good life the time he was here and he was loved. Hold him in your heart and know he's now running free....

I'm so, so sorry. I think everyone here knows you'd have done what you could for Jack. He was in pain and he's not now. He's happy and looking out for you. I know he tried to be a good dog. And when you're ready he'll send you the right dog.

What a great statement… "When you're ready he'll send you the right dog"... that is so very true.....

May Jack rest in peace. You did all you could. Cancer can manifest itself in many forms and many behaviors. He loved you so pure he protected you at all costs.
I will miss hearing of Jack here. His, and your, trials and tribulations will forever be here, in the written word and in my heart as well.
Thank you for touching me so deeply and reawakening the compassion of love, and loss. Dawn
