Rudy insists on having his butt scratched. If I try to ignore him he just backs up until he is touching me. Sort of the same when he wants a treat.

Basenjis are wonderful dogs for the right people. I love mine even though he has a mind of his own. He is getting up in age and the thought losing him breaks my heart. I am so sorry that you lost yours.

Every morning mine is up pawing at the door to go out on the balcony and lay in the sun.

My Basenji does the same thing. He also does it on my bed and puts holes in my sheets. Maybe it’s a breed trait.

I do only because I accidentally left it unlocked one night and when I came home everything was still intact so I leave him out now.
