  • How sad, but we all know how easily these "critters" can and do escape… and how they have no respect for cars.... It is one of the things that I so strongly stress to people interested in the breed.

  • First Basenji's

    Yes, please give your neighbor hugs! Losing a pet at an elderly age is one thing, but to have life taken away so abruptly is so much harder to accept. Speaking from experience.


  • I'm so sorry, that is such a terrible way to lose a basenji, but we all know how agile and slippery they can be. I'm very sorry for your friends.


  • Big condolences to your friends. How sad to have to lose a beloved pet so young.


  • I am so sorry my prayers go to all of them. I hate the front door when B's are in livingroom I do so worry about one them getting out.

  • I'm very sorry for their loss…


  • I lost my first basenji that way - I totally understand.
    Sorry for the loss - hugs hugs hugs.


  • We met Wave when we first went to Tari's house a few weekends ago to look at her available dogs. He was so friendly…never a moment's hesitation to come greet us enthusiastically.

    We were both saddened to hear of Wave's tragic accident...it happened the night before we arrived at Tari's place to pick up Flame, and she had just buried Wave that morning.

    It's bad enough to lose a beloved pet when they've lived a long life, but to lose one so unexpectedly in that way has to be even harder.


  • Sorry to hear of your loss…I'm not familiar with Wave but I know it must be hard. I am OCD when it comes to opening the front door, my B has to be in the other room or in her crate...silly perhaps, I don't know. Peace be with Wave.


  • Thats so sad! Basenji's DEFINITELY have NO respect for cars….Anubis is ALWAYS on leash...but when a car goes to pull into my driveway or something he will try to walk right to it when its still moving! He has NO idea that cars can hurt him.


  • To add, we have signs on all of our doors that lead outside and inside that are bright yellow with the silhouette of a basenji and say "Don't Let The Dog Out". This way, when anyone comes in or out, they are reminded. The signs go around the door handle, and if I remember correctly, were only a couple of bucks each.

    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/

    Am so very sorry, Alex. My tri boy Mr.T will be 12 in December. We lost our last 2 b's at ages 17 (Jenna went in her sleep), but Zak I had to have PTS as he had dementia really bad. Its never easy loosing these furkids. Kiya will live forever in your heart and memories, never to be forgotten. She is running with the wind and sunning herself in the warmth of the sun. Until you all meet again, someday. HUGS

    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.
