Precious! ️🥰

Kembe always slept in our bed up until these last 2 years of her life. She was a bed and blanket hog - legs stretched out and took over the bed. I put her doggie bed in our room right next to our bed in her latter years - I was afraid of her falling or jumping off the bed and getting hurt.

Found this Interesting and could be helpful.

Hopefully no one has to use it.

LOL! This photo made me chuckle! I’d take the WHOLE BASKET of these pups!️

OMG! The pups are soooo damn cute! Loved 🥰 that first photo of Tank. It’s amazing how fast they have grown and changed in the past few days! They bring a to my face! ️

I feel for you. I just had to put my B down this past fall and she was 15 years 10 month - it was so sad and I’m still not over it. It really comes down to quality of life as @eeeefarm stated. My basenji had dementia, her hearing and eyesight were going, and she lost a lot of muscle mass - but she still was eager to eat until the very end. You’ll make the right decision on what’s best for you and your basenji. My thoughts are with you. ️

Sounds like you’re having so much FUN! So glad to hear that Sparkle and the pups are doing well! ️

@jengosmonkey Greg - I love ️your updates and photos - keep them coming! The puppies are gorgeous and it sounds like you’re having a BLAST! Puppy Power!

So sweet🥰! Congratulations- he’s beautiful! Welcome to the forum!

In Memory of Kembe
01/04/2006 - 10/26/2021

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this post. Today would have been my Kembe’s 16th birthday. Sadly I had to put her down on 10/26/21 - she passed away peacefully in my arms -it was the most traumatic thing I’ve ever had to do. Thankfully my breeder, Sally , and a former colleague assisted me in the process. The situation was extremely stressful because my regular vet would not allow me to be w/ her due to Covid restrictions - so I had to search for an alternative vet that would allow me to be with her. I have waited to post about her passing because I was so devastated - (I am still processing my grief). In April of 2020 she came down with “Canine idiopathic vestibular disease” -also known as 'old dog syndrome.’ Even though she recovered from that event after 4- 5 weeks, the episode definitely took a toll on her and that was the beginning of her decline. I noticed a deterioration in her cognitive and physical abilities after her recovery. Kembe lived a fabulous life but her last several months were difficult - she was diagnosed with Canine Cognitive Disorder (doggie dementia) the last 6-9 months of her life and at the end her eye sight and hearing were also fading - (but she always knew what time it was to eat - even on the very last day of her life). She was such a wonderful basenji and an important part of our family. She brought so much joy and happiness into our lives. We love you Kembe - may you run free - your spirit and memories will live on with us forever!

It must be an old photo - here is another in black & white - which appears to be the same gentleman with a basenji.
