Well, our little Bing did lift his leg again, just once!
Then, sadly, he went into a decline which the vet thought was not recoverable from so we sent him on his way two weeks ago. We are both more sad than we ever thought was possible which is why it is only now I am able to post this.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. If only we had a way of explaining to a rather lost little Basenji bitch (Rosie) what has happened to her lifelong friend…

I know it is so hard to help the ones left behind what happened..We had two of our most beloved dogs pass in march and april, and Lou, the one that made it through april was devastated when Bogus past..we let him sniff the blanket Bogus was wrapped in when we came home from the vet, but I don't know if that helped or made things worse..
They are both resting together in our back yard now..so they are together again..like the best friends they were for 12+ years.. -

So very sorry about your loss. As I say to everyone as long as Bing is in your heart he will forever be with you. Your poor girl I know she must be so sad however with all love and time she is getting from you in time all will be better. Take care.

Try homeopathic Ignatia for Rosy. 30c potency 3 X a day. I've found this very successful for grieving departures.

Interestingly, Jenny, inspired by the messages here, suddenly realised the problem with Rosie. She was angry, yes angry, with Jenny about the fact that Bing wasn't here because she had seen her take him away.
It might seem a little far-fetched but Jenny recalled that some years ago when our young Morgan mare was sent away for training for a few weeks, my Westfalian gelding, some years older than her and who had 'raised' her from a foal was behaving very oddly towards me. He would uncharacteristically glare at me with bloodshot eyes when I went up to him in the field and would then paw the ground (or should that be hoof the ground?). Suddenly I recognised that he was angry with me as he had watched me lead her to the horse box.
Then, as with Rosie now, the answer was to show a little understanding and compensate with extra attention and love. It worked brilliantly tonight and Jenny is delighted to have her little girl back again…
