My wife and adopted a 7 year old guy from BRAT this past December and he does the same thing. He's a retired puppy mill stud that never learned how to climb stairs until he was "freed." If he gets a running start, he can leap a step or two, but if he walks up to steps, he goes up backwards, just like in the video. He also has a phobia with certain door thresholds. But don't worry. He's a super fun little guy who just has a few little quirks. He can outrun his 12 year old B-sister in the yard, but she always beats him up the stairs.
Gift Exchange: Basenji Buddies Summer 2008

I sent my package off yesterday.
-
We sent ours off today…should be to our B-buddy by Monday!
Jackpot got his box of goodies in the mail yesterday~! He LOVES the zebra stuffed animal and goes crazy every time it makes the whinny noise! What a fun gift
He was also VERY excited about the red chicken stick things...boy does he love those, he could smell them through the box and kept pawing at the box before we got it opened! The collar is VERY cool. Thanks for all of the presents!I've attached a few pictures of Jackpot with his new favorite toy.
-
Awh awesome! I'm so glad Jackpot recieved his gift! I didn't have Jackpot, but it's good to see that our Basenji Buddy plan worked out!
I sent my package out today, my b-buddy should be getting it sometime early next week!

Woo hoo!!!! Zaire FINALY finished her package for our Basenji buddy. I can't wait to brave to post office tomorrow and send it out….. This really was a GREAT idea.
Just as a funny side note, When we went shopping I had Zaire with me. The woman at one of the little shops we went to (read as "I am blessed to live in Oregon where we have way too many cute little dog specialty shops") Fealt bad that Zaire wasn't getting any of the toys we were buying, so she gave zaire some lamb jerky so she wouldn't feel neglected.
-
Hahahaha, that's too funny; I bet Zaire was happy
I understand this all too well. I work in a dog bakery and Shango comes to work with me. Everyone comes in and he plays the role so well- "Oh! He's not getting any treats? Can I buy one for him?" Hahahahhaha he's such a lucky dog on days we work!
-
I am sure he never gets any treats from his Daddy, haha!!!!
-
My basenji buddy gifts were shipped out today!
As a side note, the place I shipped from wouldn't let me add any notes to the package. Sooo…I will just explain the gifts Dallas sent on here after my buddy has received them
I don't want to ruin the surprise beforehand! -
We got ours today. I got a Navy pen and bumper sticker, and Medjai got some great new nylabones, cookies, plush ball, and some other great odds and ends. There was also a great little booklet that came with the package written by Medjai's basenji buddy.
I have found one problem with this package. It make mine seem so small, as I didn't send that much or with a cute little note, but Medjai's new buddy should love their package as much as Medjai loves those types of things.

Please post some photos!

Our package arrived the other day from Florida. In addition to some delicious goodies, EL D received a new collar (I especially like the little allegators) …

THis is really a lot of fun – I've enjoyed reading what others have received.
Pity the poor folks who couldn't participate. :p -
We are preparing for the Winter Holidays Basenji Buddies Gift Exchange. Details to follow in another thread.
-
I'm excited to do this again!
Shango and I sent ours out a few days ago so we're anxiously waiting until our basenji buddy gets their package,
Shango hasn't recieved his gift yet so we're anxiously waiting for that too! We look forward to come home and find a package on the door step. We can't wait!
-
So I came home this morning and there was a package waiting for us at the door! It must have come yesterday after I'd left for the day.
We hurried to open it up because we were so excited; boy did Jill and Tosca spoil my boy, Shango!
He was given tons of delicious treats and really great toys including an awesome stuffed bat that he already loves and a really great rubber ball that can hold some of his treats in it for him to hunt out. He also was given a great bandana to wear, which will be perfect for him to wear next weekend when we go do a dog walk!
I can't THANK YOU enough; you were more than generous to my Shango and he LOVES everything he's been given.
Here are pics for proof; these are all taken just minutes after opening the gifts. He played with everything immediately! THANK YOU SO MUCH JILL AND TOSCA!!!
Tosca, you should be getting yours any day now!
Thanks guy, this has been a blast. We can wait for the next one!!!
