@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
Chilin with your Basenji

Do they always seem to find the most comfortable spot on the couch,

the couch - the bed and any other place you can think of - welcome to the life of a basenji owner lol

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.
