Gift Exchange: Winter Holidays 2011

Basenji Talk
  • I've got my Basenji buddy!!

    Christmas shopping this weekend!!! can't wait!!!

  • Shopping here too, probably today! This is going to be fun!

  • Whoohoo. Got my B buddy. Time to go shopping!!

  • Did a little shopping today. Came home and the dogs were very confused why I was not distributing the goods from the big bag of goodies! I'm participating in a Shiba gift exchange too, so there was a bit of stuff in there. =) Anyway, I had to take the bag out to the car because Bowdu was stalking the bag, even when I tried to put it out of view in the closet.

  • Mine is packaged and ready to be shipped (I had the day off yesterday)!

  • Mine is off in the mail today. My B buddy should see it in about 6-8 days. Do we tell our B buddy that we got them? Or is it secret?

  • It should be a surprise and everyone should post photos into this thread once their basenjis open the packages.

  • Kipawa says, "Santa has a delivery on the way for my basenji Christmas buddy, so watch out for his reindeer and sleigh"!

  • Did Kipawa open his present yet??????

  • No, Kipawa has not opened a present yet. But he believes he is on the Basenji Santa's list because he has been a good boy this year, learning many skills and pleasing his humans very much. He's also been told by his humans that the best part of Christmas is in giving - be it by finding a present, a prayer or a kind word for someone. And sometimes just a basenji smile can be the best present of all.

  • Doh…
    I was all excited to do my gift exchange shopping, and then I was standing in (a very long) post office line to mail it when it occurred to me that, I DIDN'T WRAP IT!! (Joanne you moron). Sooo... if your Basenji gets a package from me, um, it's not wrapped. Sorry. But I did send a card :o

  • I didn't get a chance to wrap mine either. We went shopping and then straight to the post office because then I would have had to go home and probably not get it out until next week. So we just kinda jammed it in a box, taped it up and sent it on its way. So yeah sorry from me too. (I didn't even get a card :() I am in t-r-o-u-b-l-e.

  • See, that is why we all love our dogs so much. They don't care about things being wrapped, cards being sent… "just gimme whatever it is you have there for me" is what they are thinking. Other thoughts are "mmmmmm... love those treats", "wow, this toy just rocks" and "come on, let's play now". :)

  • Wembly Alberta – did you receive your package yet (I sent it through regular mail)?

  • Sent our buddy there gift on Friday, why should receive it today or Tues. Hope you enjoy it.:)

  • Hey Wizard I left your a PM.

    Sonny received your package today!!! :) As soon as I put the package on the floor and called him over he knew it was for him…he was sniffing away!!! Once I opened up the box he was all over it! He LOVES his toys :D The big orange guy is hysterical and he figured out right a way how to push the stomach with his nose and it makes the funniest noise! Thank you so much for the wonderful Christmas presents!! Here's some pics of Sonny opening his presents ;)

  • LOVE those pictures, especially the 3rd one and the last one. The 3rd one looks like they are either having a staring contest, or Sonny's favourite movie is Taxi Driver and he is saying a la Travis Bickle: "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talking… you talking to me? Well I'm the only one here. Who the f*** do you think you're talking to? Oh yeah? OK". The last one looks like they have become best buddies. :)

    Yeah, I am a De Niro fan. Love Taxi Driver and the lesser known The King of Comedy.

  • Love the orange orangutang thing! Thank you for the pictures!

  • These are priceless pics of Sonny with his new orange orangutang!!!

    I bought coats from Ruffwear for my boys and have been really pleased with the coats especially since we have gotten so much snow.

    If the wax doesn't work, try muttluks…my B wears them. It's funny at first for her, but she adjusts and takes her usual walks with them. Keep us posted on how the wax works...very interesting!

    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.
