Rosie's name is Nina

Basenji Talk
  • yes.. it really is… they are really nice people .......

  • Happy endings for everyone! Obviously the cosmos knew who Rosie should be with. Kudos to her first family for understanding that Rosie/Nina would be safer and much better off with you. And since you all live so close, it's not like they will never see her again. When I hear about things like this, I feel my faith in the human race is restored a little more.

  • I know.. i was so amazed by this family, they were incredible, very nice people indeed….

  • That is such a nice story. Thanks for sharing. And are you calling her Rosie or Nina now?

  • It was obviously meant to be and I'm very happy for you all.

  • I am glad they did what was best for the dog! I would keep her name as Rosie.

  • I call her Rosie… it just stuck.....

  • Thank you for sharing! It reminds me of the saying, "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it is yours. If not, it never was…". It's so nice to hear a happy ending. Here's a baroo to Rosie dear! :)

  • Thanks you for sharing that wonderful story! They got to have closure and know what happened to their pup, and you got her back in the end. I'm sure that first night was awful, but you did the right thing to let them take her, and they did the right thing to give her back to you! "Win-win" all around.

  • That was such a heartwarming story, I am using a Kleenex now!!! I am happy for all those involved, especially you and Rosie, since that Rottie does not seem like a good mix at the house….!

  • It was a very strange week for me. That day, I went out for my daily walk and two hours later I didnt have Rosie anymore.. It was awful, and I felt good for them, but at the same time I felt angry and wasn't sure if I should have waited a few days before returning her.. I hate when I make such quick decisions, I always wonder if I did the right thing.
    The next morning I'm driving to work and the phone rings …..
    then I knew I had done the right thing, because they really had her well being in mind and they were very concerned that the Rottie would hurt her. and since we live close by, we see each other often now. I walk by their house , usually on weekends.....

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    Isis is darling! By all means do a 'well baby' visit with your vet, and order the DNA swab for fanconi, huge peace of mind. I had a wonderful Isis many years ago, I love the name!

    My dogs do this all the time. Well, Lexi does anyway- she's the only one who can fit/balance on the back of the sofa. ;) ha! And she'll tap your head in a heartbeat if there's something you have that she wants! lol

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
