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". :)

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.

We send out our Package last saturday, have shopped in Germany AND Holland.. but.. we forget one little present…
We bought two of the same snack's (one for each doggie) and when we got home, one of the snacks fell out of the (we thought to be) empty bag!
Sorry, fortunately it was a tiny snack :D Our boys say thank you, for forgetting it :D -

I just have this feeling that the Canadian mail system is clogged - cards I mailed Tuesday of last week to addresses in Canada have not made it to their destinations.

Maybe our parcels got hung up at the border – all those dog goodies in them probably tripped up the customs dogs! :D Maybe they decided to keep them for themselves - doggie contraband! :cool: (there's still a couple of days yet)

Yes I can see it now, the big german sheppard looking for contraband going over the border…..then he sits beside our two packages wagging his tail. Open it open it!! So they flag them and open the boxes only to find them full of doggy goodies!! And the dog is like.......feeed me some of the treats, I know they are there.....oohhhh and I want that squeaker!
