I only have one boy of unknown parentage as he is an adoption but my guess is that they probably do "know" family by scent if not sight. Their differing reactions to "family" probably relates back to the "pack" mentality. A female may have two daughters that she treats completely differently due to her perception of their ability to challenge her as "alpha" female in the future. I would guess it is similar for males. Time together as a "family", as with humans, is probably also a factor. Just my thoughts.
I think he's trying to tell me something…

Basenjis have the best ways of telling us they need sunlight.
I had a good laugh. He's still over there, but laying down now absorbing the sunlight. He was a bit confused when he wanted to get out of there. :D:D

Good that you have nice wide windowsills!

What a smart B! Ours are sunworshipers also.

Your windowsills are just what every B would love to have - even in the very high 90's, our Shaye wants to lie in the sun on the porch. After a while I have to make her come in, because it bothers me that she is out there - not her.

Such a sun lover - what great photos! Thanks so much for posting them. I particularly love the one peering back at you near the edge of the curtain.
