@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
Does your basenji like tea bags?

Stormie has a really bizarre "thing" - it's almost a compulsion, actually. :rolleyes: When I brew up a cup of tea, he loves to roll all over the tea bag. I mean he smooshes his head into it, and just rolls away! The only thing he'd rather roll on is deer poo (but that a whole other thread! lol!). Mint seems to be his favorite, but any herbal tea will do in a pinch. Has anyone else noticed this from their b, or is Stormie as bizarre as I think he is?

I've never given Jazz a tea bag, but it wouldn't surprise me if she did roll on it.
Her favorite things to roll on are my husband's leather work boots – and his socked feet after the boots are removed -- at the end of a long work day.
ew.Basenji's like smelly things~

LOL Jazzy'sMom! So I guess I should be thankful that Stormie hasn't displayed a "foot fetish"?!

Mine usually like to roll on my bath towel after I shower:eek: ….. that's right after they roll on my smelly socks and work shoes:eek: .
But yet they always smell so good............strange.:D
