What did you get your B for Christmas?

Basenji Talk
  • I bought some Merrick treats for mine and some Bamboo toys. They seem much more sturdy than some of the other chew toys I have bought that get de-stuffed within a few hours…we'll see:rolleyes:
    The B-boys bought bones for my sister's dogs and my in-laws dog, plus they got a dog calendar for my in-laws. They are such thoughtful little shoppers:p

  • Is that a California club?

    @lvoss:

    Every year the Rip Van Wrinkle Basenji Club has a Santa Paws gift exchange. Basenjis get their humans to sign them up for the exchange and then they are matched up with another basenji family and gifts are exchanged.

  • I have a $25 gift certificate to PetsMart but haven't gotten a chance to go yet. Senji's birthday is on the 30th, so I'll need to get him something for that too. My nieces bought him some sort of raw-hide pizza shaped thing. I don't think it agrees with him. Luckily he's only had 2 pieces of it. He likes to help open the presents, then shreads everything into tiny bits. I have a Santa outfit for him, so he'll be "Senji-Claus" for tomorrow.

  • You must post pictures of this! LOL!

    I tried to take photos of Chase (my Puggle) in a Santa costume and Zahra in a reindeer costume, Zahra would not let me anywhere near her with the reindeer costume and Chase let me put his on but just stood there like a statue humiliated. Zahra eventually came to her brother's rescue by ripping the Santa hat and beard combo off him and jumping up on the chair to chew on it.

    I had video taped Chase's torture and Zahra's defiance (I missed getting her ripping the hat and beard off on video tape though) so DH could see it when he came home which he in turn made into a video that we have shown to friends set to Christmas music it is entitled "Animal Abuse 101 by Jenn".

  • The Rip Van Wrinkle Basenji club is actually based in NY. I met the lady when we went lure coursing…

    She sent me a "Wrinkler" newsletter in the mail - seems they have some basenji events periodically… sounds fun!

  • @ChaseandZahrasmom:

    Is that a California club?

    Actually it is a New York club. They have many members from all over the country. They have a great newsletter.

  • Sahara got chew treats and a nice stuffed squirrel that she really loves. I also got the laser light, she didn't care for it as well. She didn't think it was a big deal at all, Mom will return it. She also got a beautiful martingale collar that Majestic Collars handmade. It was made with Russian brocade material, lined in silk. She really looks regal in this, I will have to take her picture and share it here.

  • I posted our pics under Miles: A Rescue

    But we did the Dogster Basenji gift exchange and it was a lot of fun… ;)

  • Various stuffed toys some of which have already suffered some damage to ears, eyes, arms and legs.:eek: Some chew treats and a great Holiday dinner enjoyed by all…...it was a Merry Christmas.

  • EL D got some new toys (one of which was ripped up before he even got the others unwrapped). He was busy opening his presents at the same time we opened ours so we didn't have toworry about him stealing presents.

  • How do you get involved in the club?

  • I got goober a rediculously huge bone. it weighs like 10 pounds.

    @lovedogs @eeeefarm said in should I get a basenji?: wait until the time is right, even if you really, really want a dog now I agree... with everyone. Sometimes you just need to accept that (no matter how much you want a dog/car/kid/house) you aren't quite ready for it. I waited 5 years before I brought my Basenji home and it was probably the most adult thing I've ever done. I was still in recovery from a spinal injury and knew that I wouldn't be able to provide (her) the exercise she would want and require. Waiting made all the difference in the world. Whan I was finally ready, the most perfect little girl was ready for me. Don't fret about it. You can read, research, consider all of your options, and really prepare yourself. (Don't look at puppy pictures online! You'll fall in love without even meeting the pup(s) and it will pull at your heartstrings.) Remind yourself that "one day you will have a Basenji", just not today.

    Q
    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(

    Definitely looks like a basenji to me. If it was something like a lab, they would be in the pool hogging the space.

    @Forever: I have been looking at him too lol my area my color and he seems sweet and he likes cats too though I can't say my cat will like him. I need to jump in and get my bratt visit done then see what happens. My problem is no fence yet. I know that is a mark against me. It is what keeps me from calling for the visit. We had plans but life happened and no fence again. Zoe seems happy with her daily walks and house play. She doesn't seem to mind being tied outside because we keep her company. I guess when the right time and b happen all will work itself out. But one thing about bratt is my worry about fanconi not sure they are tested. I worry about zoe I dont want that worry with another dog I agree with you… you already know about Zoe... and to adopt another that could be Affected... well, I certainly understand ... and FYI, they are not for the most part DNA tested... it is not something that BRAT requires... I would suppose that if you were interested in a certain dog that you could make that a condition of adoption, that he/she be tested first.... but I have no idea how BRAT would react to that...

    All three pups sleep in bed with us. We bought two double beds and stuck them togeather so we could all fit. It's still crowded. My next dog IS going to sleep in a crate!
