Gift Exchange: Winter Holidays 2011

Basenji Talk
  • A present for the boys arrived yesterday :D

    They are spoiled… really spoiled :D
    There were two bags of snacks.. they could try it that minute and they love both :D (see the pictures, and also the one with them looking "we want more pleeeeeeeeeease)
    And then! There was a puppie kong!!!! Yay!!! the boys already have got their own kongs and nog our little Enya will have a kong of her own too :D :D :D

    And... two tennis balls... Chaffie is the tennis ball freak and this morning we could not do anything because mister pretty wanted to play and we had to trow tennis balls for over half an hour :D (Ryan took over afterwards, they have played a long time :D)

    AND! a Kong genius!!! I never saw it in the stores before but WOW we can buy more pieces to make it sort of a puzzle.. :D
    They already have a lot of fun with this one, I have (of course) kong stuffing and cookies so lots of fun time..

    Now see the pictures of two spoiled basenji boys :D
    (don't mind the bad lightning of the pics)

  • Oh my! What do you do for an encore on Christmas?? They look like they are having a lot of fun! :)

  • Hunter & Bandit got their present yesterday!!!

    Thank you Alex!!!! They LOVE it!!! Pics of them enjoying their new toy!!!

    Wish I wouldn't have cropped off Bandit's ears in the one pic. Love her B sit!!!

  • Loving all these pictures! It's great to see multiple basenji packs sharing so nicely. =)

    We're hoping something will appear on the last mailing day before Christmas, but if not, I guess it's karmic retribution for us not getting our presents out to our own family in time. That's okay – New Year's is a nice holiday for us, too!

  • My B's got their package today. As soon as hubby walked in the door with it they knew it was theirs. I will post pictures once I get back home! Tucker loooooves the Hedgehog, Becca loves her yellow duckie and Flame has already killed the squeakers on the stuffless duck. They weren't too sure about the biscuits at first and then Becca ate hers and Tuckers. Thank you so much!

  • Success - pictures were retrieved (camera has to go) …

  • Love the last one!

  • Billy, Ren and Teak opened their gifts on Christmas eve.
    Thank you very much to their Basenji buddy!!

    Billy realizes that he has a gift…

    He can't see it, but he can chew it!

    Enthusiastic Ren has a gift as well.

    A new coat and a new friend.

    Teak also has a present

    And he "gets" this gift opening business!

    In his ruggedly handsome new sweater.

    As always, Billy ends up with all the toys!

  • What a nice pictures everyone!!!

  • Adorable dogs! Ren looks like the diva she is! The boys look very stately in their sweaters!

    I've sent you a private message.

  • haha aww what a brilliant idea - loved reading this thread! will remember to join in next year

  • Chance and Kiya love their toys! Thanks vickilb!

  • Love the head in the envelope shot! :)

  • Buana, the package arrived today just in time for the dogs' afternoon snacktime! Thank you for all the goodies, also the human ones. =) Both dogs are munching on their hot dogs right now. I'm also very excited about the ostrich training treats. That's not a protein that you see very often in stores around here!

    I'll post pictures later. Meanwhile, happy new year to everyone!!

  • Ok here are some pics of the pup's Christmas haul from their B friend. Thank you Wizard!

    :D Great!!!!
    We were still a bit afraid you would give the doggies by accident the human treats… That's why I wrote it on the package as well :D

    The Ostrich is so healthy, we see it here more and more, they love it here!

    Those look like some pretty happy basenjis who took NO TIME to figure out the contents of that box was for them!

  • Is there going to be another gift exchange this season?? It was so much fun!

  • I hope so - this time last year I wasn't into the Forum!

  • I'm not sure who arranges these. I would like to get into it as well, but is it too late?

    I'm sorry to hear things were less than ideal :( I'm all settled in Lakewood now, and I do have plenty of room for multiple crates & dogs, so keep me in mind in if you go on vacation without your basenjis in the future. Hope they recover soon.

    Our winters here in Australia are not like yours in New England - we don't get snow where I am, but do get hard frosts. Cold days are 14C, but situated where I am on the side of a hill, the wind off the snow area 75 kms further up the valley can get a bit lazy - prefers to go through you rather than round you!! And as we all know - Basenjis don't 'do' cold!! My Swedish boy is cuddled up in his bed in front of the heater beside me. Silly boy still gets his summer coat in our winter!!

    I got my package on Monday!!! :) I haven't had time to update but Dallas loved all of his gifts! He loved the loofa dog! He was carrying it all around the house with him Monday evening. He & our family dog have been playing tug of war with the rope that he received. Oh, and Tuesday he found the bag of milkbones on my dresser while I was at work…thankfully he didn't eat the plastic bag :rolleyes: The bones, obviously, are gone. Such a pig :rolleyes:

    My dog has a few coat and has boots that she wears in the snow. She has a fleece hoodie and a jean jacket. I now have an IG doggie how hates the cold so I looked on the greyhound sites and found a coat that is made for basenji's and IG's. I forget the site off hand but I will look it up for you and get back to you. It is fleece and has a snooze(neck/head warmer). Great coat and easy to put on.
