Hello Marian,
Welcome. What a happy home it must be.
We are Kees-Jan and Anne-Marie from Marken, north of Amsterdam. Where do you live? Maybe we can walk together some time? Also check http://www.basenji-club.nl/ for basenji walks.
We have two daughters from Abotere Khamau, Lela and Binti (2,5 and 3,5 years old) - our first dogs, and we recognize a lot that you wrote.
People warned us about getting a basenji, but we have not been happier since they took over our house and hearts. Lela came with us as a pup (enought to keep you busy) and Binti joined half a year later - it took her around 1,5 years to really settle.
Here's a picture with their big mama friend Kiko the Akita https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dNOYjJPSlhUGbZK3LZxvbwxZLf3J_PvRjNp46MdVlt4?feat=directlink
We hope to meet all of you soon.

Welcome to our pack!
Even though you've done a few periods of being away, it still is a shock to her to have you disappear. She might need to have something like a snuggleme buddy (warm pack you can put in the microwave) to keep her company and definitely lots of toys (especially interactive ones) to keep her busy. Are you keeping her in a kennel/crate or an x-pen?
Also are you gone for the whole day? 8 or 9 hours is a long time for such a young pup. Perhaps you can arrange some vacation time so you don't disappear for so long right at the start. Have you thought about doggy day care? -

mia always hated her cage. even when we were there. (and trying to sleep..:mad:) needless to say i spent many sleepless nights or nights asleep on the floor with my hand in her cage:o i got advice on here to cover the cage with towels or a blanket so its dark .. i dont know if that would work during the day or not though.
