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! 😉
Chilin with your Basenji

Cricket likes to take advantage of the belly bump as a perfect head rest. She has about seven days left now.

Cairo loves to stare when he falls asleep, preferably at my face.

Oakley too, that's funny! I wonder why they like to gaze admiringly at us when you know they aren't really enamored by us at all

I think Cairo just likes to know what his "property" is about to do. Any facial expression I make is quickly detected.

He's so weird.
