• @Barklessdog:

    We are considering getting a rescue Basenji. We know he wont replace Akima, I can't see us without a male Basenji.
    Our Girl Basenji Kept looking for him. She is more a scared fearful shy basenji. However now that Akima is gone she has stepped up and really is being more outgoing and "being there" for us.

    Taking in a rescue basenji would honor Akima's memory, not replace him.


  • I am so sorry -you gave him a loving and caring life. It's so hard to have to say Goodbye.


  • I am sorry for your loss. He had a happy life with you.

  • So sorry for your loss ๐Ÿ˜ž


  • I'm so sorry for your loss. We are never prepared, but when it comes so quickly it is brutally painful. Agree with Agile, a male rescue will honor Akima's memory.


  • So very sorry to hear about Akima. Words can't express our heartfelt concern for you.


  • I am sorry for your loss. Twelve is still so young. ๐Ÿ˜ž I lost Sayblee after over 5 mos of chemo trying to save her but nothing helped.

    Pam Hamilton has some basenji mixes up for adoption who are dog friendly and very cute. If you pm me your email I'll have her contact you. And I totally agree, you are not REPLACING Akima, you are honoring the memory.


  • I'm sorry that you lost Akima. ๐Ÿ˜ž


  • So sorry for your loss. They leave a big hole in your heart. ๐Ÿ˜ž

  • First Basenji's

    So sorry for your empty space in your family and your heart. It is never an easy experience for the survivors. When you all are ready, another guy sounds like a good idea. They leave us and it hurts, but they have done their job and move on toward the Rainbow Bridge and will be waiting for us! You will always miss them, their souls, the antics, the good, the bad, and the ugly, but will always be beautiful foreverโ€ฆ.
