so sorry to hear of Nicky passing, although you said you timed it so she did not suffer. You, your husband, Chipley and Eddie are the ones who have it hard now. We never truly get over the spirit of our loved fur pal while they visited us on earth, but the memories of the 'antics' get us through the grief period. Condolences to all of you, thinking of you!
Chezz is over the Bridge

I'm so very sorry.

Last April when I lost Nika I was hoping she would pass in her sleep at home but it wouldn't happen and she just got too bad off to wait for that to happen. I waited too long with my first and I feel bad about it 17 years later.
I agree with what Sally said…. those of us that have had to make that painful decision will always second guess our choice.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I never got a chance to meet Chezz, but I know she was a truly special Basenji.

Thanks Steve - Chezz was unique.
But you'll meet her daughter, grandson and grand-daughter soon.
And they are usually on offer - FREE - to a bad home. . .

Sally, I've only just come on the forum and read your news about Chezz - I am so sorry to hear - she was no age but you couldn't have let her suffer.
It's good to hear that you have such a sympathetic vet. we are very blessed too with a caring empathic vet and they are worth their weight in gold.

Thank you, Patty,
We are indeed lucky in that we have 5 Vets working out of the same office about 7 miles away, Janet, Ian, Phillip, Rick, Donal. I don't mind WHICH of them sees our dogs, they are all great. Phillip removed Keepurr's glove - the big leather one he ate. . . and still laughs incredulously about it.
Before we moved away from another veterinary practise about 4 miles away, it got so only the boss man was allowed near our dogs and that became a tad restrictive. That was 9 years ago now and we've never regretted the switch.

So sorry to hear of your loss - it is the last loving gesture that we do for our treasured friends.

I'm so sorry… I can't read about a loss like this without tearing up. May your tears remind you of all your happy memories together. xoxox

Thank you -
Marvin will make her headstone in the next couple of weeks. Laid flat, all our dogs have them and the lawn-mower can be pushed over them and they can be kept tidy.

Hope you're feeling a bit better now Sally. Benji is buried in our garden and i found a stepping stone with the sun on, i like to think he's sleeping under the sun, just like he loved.
