I have got the video Goodbye my Lady and also the book August Magic. Made me cry, such a beautiful story.
Have you read the book Heart of the Savannah ? Need also tissues with that one, very beautiful story.
It is a story about a basenji stolen as a puppy from her village.

I like also the name Shanty, sounds cheerful

Timmy is a smart looking boy. How old is he ?

voted! Hope you win:D

thank you all for your kind wishes. Still cannot cope with the loss of Joey, it's very hard. Miss him so much.

Anne-Marie

very sorry for your loss. It's very hard to lose your pet.

thank you all for your lovely messages. It is very hard to cope with this loss.

Hope you find him soon, must be dreadful not knowing where he is.

We are so sad, we had to let our lovely basenji Joey go. Our Joey had a kidney failure, the disease started one year ago.
The last few days were terrible to watch him being so sick. The last 2 days he could not eat anymore, he only drank water, but he could not keep anything in his stomac anymore, after a minute he was vomiting bile.
The vet could not help him anymore and told us it was only humane to let him go, and so we did.
We are grateful he was in our life, we loved him dearly, he gave us lots of joy.
We miss him terribly, but he is in our heart. We will never forget him.

Our sweet boy Joey is sick. He had been throwing up bile for a few days and we noticed that he was looking thinner. We made a vet appointed and a blood test was taken. He lost 1.6 kg since October. The liver values are much too high. The vet thinks he has a liver infection or could be a tumor in the liver. Joey is now on a special diet food and is on anti-biotics. Also he got the medicine prednoral.
After 6 weeks another blood test will be taken to see if the values dropped.
He is feeling nauseas by times. Saturday evening he threw up, sunday was ok, monday again throwing up. Yesterday evening he was feeling sick, but did not throw up and today looks ok.
I am very worried. Joey will be 12 years by 24th of June and we could not bear to loose him. He is very lively and wants to eat all day.
It has been a week now since he was diagnosed, we hope the medicine will work. Joey is my first dog, we got him as a rescue dog, he was almost 3 years old, so have him now for 9 years.
Anybody else who had these problems ?

Thank you for your nice message. Joey is no pup anymore, he will be 12 years on June 24th.

Hello,

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
Have you ever heard of a basenji who is afraid of heights.
Joey does not like it, he will never jump on the couch and he does not like it when you lift him up. He is a rescue dog and I got him when he was almost 3 years old, so do not know what happened when he was a pup.

Hello,

I am Anne-Marie from the Netherlands and I have a Basenji called Joey.:)
