Gift Exchange: Basenji Buddies Summer 2008

Basenji Talk
  • I think this is a cool way to share dog gifts/treats from your local area. We have several dog bakeries here and other fun local places that make dog stuff. It will be fun to share some of Hampton Roads with others.

  • This gift exchange will have a submission deadline around end of August. If it is a success we are planning on having another one around Christmas holidays.

  • For your consideration….....I also agree the first exchange should be in December. Say a ship by date of Dec. 1st. This gives us plenty of time to consider our exchange buddies and their dogs, re-read some posts to get an idea of life style, food and toy preferences, sense of humor, and beat the price mark up of the Christmas season. Also, as "the giving season" nears, perhaps more forum friends will care to join.

    Maybe I'm thinking too hard about this, but I'm just excited and fear I won't have adequate time to find something(s) appropriate.

    Thanks admin I'm sure this may take more time and effort than you originally anticipated, but what GREAT fun you're providing.

    P/S...With all the December b-day Basenji's you have here, it could turn out to be a huge GLOBAL Basenji birthday celebration:D :D :D

  • I definitely agree with Snorky, I would like an xmas one as well, however I think there is plenty of time to do 2 before then…if we close submissions by the end of august, ship gifts by the end of September, then pick it up again in October or November for the holiday season..that might be good. Otherwise I am afraid if we wait so long, people will forget/not visit the site often by then/etc. If we plan that now, people who dont' want to do both could just opt to wait until the second one, just my opinion, but I will go along with whatever is decided...either way it shoudl be lots of fun...thanks again for doing this!

  • I forgot about the December birthday part – the postal service will have fun delivering all these basenji birthday presents :D

  • I believe we have received enough submissions for this round of Basenji Buddies gift exchange. If anyone is interested to join in please read the top post of this thread and email us your submission by August 29, 2008.

  • Today is the last day to join this first round of Basenji Buddies gift exchange. If anyone is interested to join in please read the top post of this thread and email us your submission by the end of today (August 29, 2008).

    Over the weekend we will randomly pair up everyone who submitted their information to us and send out emails with instructions.

  • Have you sent out the buddy information yet? I have had a ton of junk mail lately and I wanted to make sure your e-mail did not end up in my spam folder by accident.

    Thanks!

  • It's coming, had to sort through all the submissions myself. :)

  • Alex,

    Sorry to be antsy…but I still haven't received an email with the info...have you sent them out yet? Looking forward to the Basenji Penpal exchange!!! :-)Thanks!

  • Any updates on our Basenji Buddies gift exchange?

    Haven't heard anything in quite a while…

  • We finally sorted through all the submissions and everyone should have gotten their Basenji Gift Buddy. Please let us know (giftexchange@basenjiforums.com) if you have not gotten an email from us.

    Also we noticed that several members who voted on the poll did not email us their submissions in the format requested in the first post of this thread. There is still time, hurry and email us.

    Those members who did receive their Basenji Gift Buddy email, please send your gift in a timely manner. :)

    Enjoy! This is going to be a lot of fun!

  • Andrew,

    I received my e-mail today from Admin.

  • Great! Thanks- I just opened my e-mail up :)

    Look forward to sending my gifts to my new basenji buddy!

  • I also received my eMail from Admin.

    Regards,
    Esther

  • I have my goodies ready, now I just have to wrap and send! What fun!

  • I'm so excited!

    My basenji buddy gift is all ready and I'll be getting the finishing touches tomorrow and then it'll be in the post on Monday.

    I can't wait to send it off and know that Shango's going to have a new friend!

  • I am almost ready but I have to pick up something for my buddy this weekend at a Dog walking event. I am so excited to put it all together and get it in the mail.

  • I mailed mine yesterday, hope our basenji buddy likes it! It was hard to stop, I kept finding things…....

  • Giving gifts and making new basenji friends is so much fun!

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
