@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
My Basenji's political statement…

So back in 2008 after the general election I bought Cody a stuffed "republican" elephant (it was cheap). He showed no interest in it at all and has languished at the bottom of his toy box. On Tuesday I was watching the Democratic convention and he got all excited and dug though his toy box brought out the elephant and proceeded to rip it to shreds. It was one of those hmmm… moments.

Cody has good instincts.

Could I forward your story on to some family members? They'd be very impressed.

ROFLMAO, wonderful! I approve that action!

Oh thank you so much for posting that. It was hilarious and I was in desperate need of a good laugh

Is Cody registered to vote???
-
Anne, LOL if only he could vote
We vote with touchscreens here in Ohio, Cody would just lick the screen. Not sure that would be helpful.

GenJMar-
My 96 year old g'mother said you should send this to the Democratic headquarters. She's seen a lot in her years, but this is still on her mind.
