The boxer has finally stopping and taken a break about an hour ago to sleep, but he is still getting bounced and pounced on. He looks at me with longing look of "will you make them stop" I tell him "no I'm sorry because if I let them get it out now, then they might let me sleep past 6:30" 
They didn't even notice that the missed dinner at 7pm and that is something at clock work they don't miss. But they needed to first stop playing and then calm down/cool off before they could eat. It was no where near safe to walk when you have 2 basenjis and a boxer running the Triple-B 500 in the house
-- after a full day at doggie day care, mine sleeps for a couple of hours when before goofing off again.
thank goodness. Not even sneaky basenjis stealing coffee 
they just had a wild hair up their butt I guess 
. Well they both do miss going everywhere with us, like they could in Germany.
@donc said in Is a small studio apartment good for a Basenji?:
I'm going in the opposite direction and saying I don't think the size of the house or apartment matters.
I agree. The space available isn't the issue, as you say, it is the problem of being left alone. That said, there are some unique problems with an apartment as opposed to a house. An unhappy dog won't be popular with your neighbours if it is screaming half the day. Bad enough in a detached house with some property around it, intolerable with close apartment neighbours with shared walls. Add to that the likelihood that the dog may hear noises from bordering apartments or the hallway that will set it off. As I said, for company a cat would be a far better option.
@mister-science, some people use treadmills with their dogs, which can be a good option if the desire is just to give them physical exertion, but won't solve their needs to get out and see and smell and explore.
