@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion
The "Look"
-
We were on vacation in a remote rural area at a lumberjack festival. We brought our dogs with us. During the festival this big fat farmer in overalls comes up to us with his friend and points at our dogs tail and says "look at that dog, he has a tail like a piggy, I never seen a dog like that!" and just starts busting up laughing at him.
The dog, facing the other direction, turns completely around and looks the guy straight in the eye with the most hateful look.
The guy just immediately shuts up, shocked and just walked away. Then we laughed hysterically!
-
Good for the fur babies…how rude of the farmer...he obviously doesn't know class when he sees it...great story...
-
Funny how many people think that his tail is not natural
-
Isn't it funny how these dogs know who is werth their time and who are not!:)
-
That's funny! Awww poor piggy tails
ROFL!!! -
Just proves to me what I've already thought. These dogs are are smarter than most people I meet and I would also add, I like the dogs better in most cases.:D

I would just like to ditto B Boy's sentiments and add to that an Amen Brother!

**My three boys make every day special for me.
There's darn few people I'd say that about! :rolleyes:**
-
Hey, hate to be rude, but maybe the B look was saying to him, Well, I might have a Pig tail but you farmerboy have a PIG body. haha!!!!!!!!

Do I EVER agree with Basenji Boy's comment. I work two part-time jobs, one of which is at a Doggie Day Care and I love dealing with the dogs and not people!!!:D
I do wish Hollie had the curly tail. They are so cute! I got her from a shelter and her tail was already cut, it is about 3 inches long.

Basenji seem to be the masters of the non-verbal put down. And I also agree with Basenji Boy's comment, reminds of that bumper sticker: the more I know of people, the better I like my dog.
What is the correct plural of Basenji? 'Basenjis' or 'Basenji'? A Yodel of Besenjis?
