@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
A unexpected loss for the Basenji comunity

I was not sure where to put it, the Rainbowbridge seemed not right for me.
Rest in Peace, Jennifer!

she couldnt beat her illness
she only was 57 years. She passed away last Tuesday 11 august. -
From the site of the Dutch Basenji Club:
_Demise of our Chairwoman Jennifer Gielisse:
With great sadness the news arrived today that our chairwoman and co-founder of
?The Basenji Club Netherlands, Jennifer Gielisse passed away in hospital.
She died at the age of 57 years.
Jennifer was someone who did not walk away from any confrontation.
Because of her commitment to the breed, she was one of the main forces in getting
the Brindle color to be recognized within FCI.
The Basenji Club Netherlands shall miss her knowledge within the Breed,
particularly in her breeding program.
We will also miss the passion she has for the Basenji and the Club.
We wish her family lots of courage with
their loss, and in the upcoming grieving process.Board of The Dutch Basenji Club_
Rest in peace, Jennifer

Very nice tribute. So sad to hear of her passing.

Sorry to hear that. I had heard she had taken not well at the Euro Winners show in Dublin.
R.I.P Jennifer

To the family please know Jennifer is not gone just away. I wish the family the best at this time.

Jennifer had been ill for many years, almost since I met her many years ago, when she bought Fallohide Zindarella Liberty - we kept in touch over the years and I must admit it is with great sadness I received the sad message of her passing -

It's so sad.. she wasn't ready to go
We just had spoken to her on the phone a few days before she died.. she should call us back for something but that won't happen anymore..
She still had so much plans and ideas for her breeds..Rest in peace… thanks for everything you teached us Jennifer..
-
To all of you that knew her, condolences sent your way on her passing. It sounds as if she has left you all a wonderful legacy.
Hugs and prayers from the States, and blessings to her family.
Soulmate, IMHO the rainbow bridge thread would have been a fine tribute for her. I plan to meet all my 'family' there when my time comes. 2 and 4-leggers.
