Our original 4 basenjis rarely let us rub their bellies. Dabi & Prisca are more apt to relax enough for us to do this, once in awhile. Of course, as soon as I tried to video myself doing it, poor little Prisca decided that she wanted up… but she was stuck on her back for a moment. She panicked, poor baby. But, happily, she relaxed enough to almost roll all the way onto her back, to let me try again.
