Here are some pictures of Otis enjoying his first ever christmas gift..he had no clue cardboard boxes could contain so much fun..he always insisted on tearing them up..

Here we are just digging into it..notice the other dogs barely reaching into the picture..they knew this was for Otis..

When Otis wants something he parks his butt in the ground and starts high fiving..thus this picture..his first ever pup peroni

They were a huge hit..look at him dance for them..

He loved, loved, loved his gifts..the treats yumm-o, the hedgehog toys, cool as all get out, and the cardboardbox…price less...

Thank you Phoenix3, again..

I tried to upload pics but it says i need to resize them How do i do that so i can post them on here ?

I went onto Majorgeeks.com and downloaded Photofiltre. It's a very easy to use photo program developed (I think) by French college students. You go into "Image" and click on "fit image" go to the height side and punch in "480" then "okay." It will resize it for you. When you save it, in order to preserve your original image, go to "file" "save as" rename your photo, push okay and when it asks about compression, just click on "okay"

Your photo will be the right size.

I love this little program because it is small, very user friendly and you can edit your photo with colors, paint brushes…get creative!

I was only able to get a couple of pictures of Gossy's present before the camera batteries died. And no she wasn't allowed to eat all the treats in her dish.

What a great pics everyone!!

Tosca got her gifts today…thank you so much Rita and Jaycee! She loved them, especially the bully stick...those are her absolute favorites. The plastic bone is awesome, that'll be great to use, especially in the summer to make popsicles with beef broth. We had the smaller one of those awhile back, but it was too small for her, and she just chewed it up...I bet this one will work great being bigger
Tosca had a great time opening her gifts, chewing on the wrapping paper, and trying to eat as many of her new treats as I'd let her. I allowed her to have the bully stick for like 10 minutes, then took it away so it wouldn't be gone immediately...I want to save it for a time when I really need to keep her occupied:p Anyway, she did not like that idea at all, and kept running away from me when I tried to take it. She ended up taking it and crawling under the Christmas tree, where she knew I wouldn't be able to reach her, especially being 9 months pregnant :p. Smart dog! I had to trade her for a different treat just so she wouldn't eat the whole thing immediately.
Thanks again!!

Oooh..and notice on the first Christmas tree picture...like how some of the presents are partially unwrapped? See the thread on keeping basenji's away from the Christmas tree...that's what I meant by she unwraps them and eats what she can when I am not looking...sooooo frusturating!

[Rita Jean]

Thank you Tosca for the nice pictures nice getting to see you unwrap your goodies. You look happy Merry Christmas little one.
Did not know that you were expecting a baby keep us all up to date please. Thank you for pictures.

Rita, thanks again for sending us the toy and the food…you had already sent plenty, you didn't need to do that However, I am sure Tosca will love the food, she doesn't usually get "gourmet" food like that! We haven't tried it yet, but will soon, probably after this actually when I go to feed her. She loved the toy as well, and threw it around the living room for quite awhile already. Have a Merry Christmas, and I hope Jaycee enjoys opening her gifts!

Hunter and Bandit love their gifts. They were driving me crazy last night, as I was trying to go to bed, and they were having a nice game of tug-o-war with a stuffed dog!!! I have been trying to upload some pics for a while and I'm not having any success. I will make the effort again this weekend on my home computer.

Thanks again Gossy and Merry Christmas!!!!:):)

Medjai got his and has enjoyed it. He can't figure out which stuffed animal to play with at a time, so he jumps through all 4 of them. He did already start to rip the tail off one, :(. It is fun watching him though. I think his favorite is the stuffed hedgehog.

Thanks
