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! 😉
Basenji in Hawaii
-
I was on the island of Oahu last week for vacation specifically in the Ko'Olina area and every morning at 7:00 ish I saw a local person walking their Basenji down by the water to the marnia. I bet that is one happy basenji with all the warm weather. I was on the 12th floor of the condo so I couldn't just run down and talk to the owner and get my basenji fix, because by the end of the week I was missing my pups horribly.

Mahalo,
Hawaii is a great place for a basenji.
It's not to bad for people too. -
John Gaidos who is Teazer Basenjis lives in Oahu. He often has his dogs out and about… I hope that someday I will be one of the "locals" out walking my basenji in hawaii
