@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
Brain Games for a Basenji?

Love this thread. Taco is going through his teenage years and seems to have energy to burn at the minute
I'm trying to come up with games for him. I have a puzzle very similar to the one in your picture @JENGOSMonkey and Taco loves it, but the more he plays with it, the better he gets and now only keeps him occupied for a few minues. I haven't tried an empty egg box yet, I like that idea.I also use a snuffle mat sometimes for kibble and it keeps Taco entertained for 20 mins or so. And any games that involve using his nose really tire him out! So like hiding treats around the house and making him find them. He does it with his toys too.

I completely agree @Kembe; however, I might have been more exited if they'd mentioned Sabacc instead. No, Sabacc is not a Basenji, but it's a fun Star Wars game that's a bit like Poker, but completely different at the same time. Definitely a brain game. Logan won't play it with me darn it. He just wants to eat the Beskar betting pieces. It's the game Han Solo played against Lando Calrissian to win the Millennium Falcon, which is arguably THE best RV in the universe. My son and I play it. I wonder if I could win a Basenji in a game of Sabacc?

@jengosmonkey Dang, I didn't know that was a real game!!

I was born in Japan. I am half Japanese. Surprised Iโd be utilizing my Japanese on the Basenji forum. Lol -

My kid and I went to Disneyland a while back and spent near two entire days just at Black Spire Outpost (aka Star Wars Land). We love it so much. That's when we scored a set of Sabacc cards. Didn't know it was a thing either till we saw the decks. We got to play a few hands with some cast members outside Ogga's Cantina, but the real treat was playing it inside the Cantina at one of the tables. We had a bunch of cast members crowded around us egging us on. Apparently there are tournaments and FaceBook groups dedicated to it. Anyway, here ya go...

@Kembe So, that's how you are multi-lingual! How many languages do you know?
@JENGOSMonkey Cool, thank you. Something new for me to do! My Covid list is growing: Learn how to play the guitar, speak Spanish, and play Sabacc!
