Basenjis are perpetual two year olds. If your attention is on anything that is not them, they feel the need to bring you back to "reality". A Basenji considers himself/herself the center of your universe and expects to be treated accordingly, the exception being when they are getting into mischief and don't want you to know about it. Otherwise your undivided attention is expected, and demanded, especially if it is obvious that something else is foremost in your thoughts. As the nominal owner (otherwise known as "staff") of a Basenji, you are expected to know that! 😉

Just thought I'd share some news articles. Both nsmbc.com and bbc.com have great articles about dog domestication starting in africa. There's a picture of a r/w basenji on the msnbc web article, It was a interesting piece
about our dogs african roots. They are on today's web page 8-4-09 and yesterdays 8-3-09 on the bbc site. -

Interesting articles, both. No wonder our sub-Saharan dogs like the heat.

Very cool. Thanks for the links.

The B in the BBC picture looks like it's well taken care of, at least from that view.
