BasenjiByTheBay,

Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts. Chance and Kiya had a blast. Of course Kiya the tri she is, got all the toys at the end.

Where did you find the Basenji stockings?

[Alex]

Our friend got them for us. She is selling them in her online store:

Thank you AndrewnShango!!!

Diego and Meeka loved their gift! Diego is chewing on the reindeer's nose as I type, and they devoured one of the adorable treats as soon as i opened the bag! They say thanks to Shango and Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

Ok, I am going to try to post pictures of Tosca with her gifts again. They are described in my post above…enjoy She is still loving her gifts, especially the bully sticks, I am definitely going to have to pick up more of those. It was great to have them to keep her occupied over Christmas during all the family parties!

Today Tillo's gifts arrived in the mail! He enjoyed the unpacking very much and at this moment he's sleeping on top of his new toys.. so I think he likes them

Here some pics of the unpacking and the toys

Thank you Alex and Vanessa!!!!

[Alex]

You are welcome! We are glad Tillo liked all his presents! Hopefully they will last for a couple of days…

Tillo handles his stuffed animals with care.. until he wants new ones
But they will probably last for at least a month or so..
This morning we brought the ferret (which we named Wobble ;)) to the training, Tillo responded great to it

So, thanks again!

This was a great gift exchange. Thank you everyone for participating and please post photos if you have not already.
Special thanks to AndrewnShango for coming up with this gift exchange idea.

Is anyone still waiting for their basenji buddy's gift package?

Is anyone still waiting for their basenji buddy's gift package?

Have you received yours already?

[Alex]

Not yet, but I am sure it's coming any day now.

[Ninabeana26]

I haven't received mine yet. I check every day & know Dallas is pretty anxious!

[Alex]

Just a reminder, please send your packages to your gift buddies if you have not yet. It is important that this happens in a timely manner in order to continue having these gift exchanges.

This exchange works solely on the honor system. There is no way that the forum moderators or anyone else on this forum can enforce that people fulfill their promises to reciprocate an exchange of gifts with another member. If people sign up and don't meet their end of the bargain, it ruins it for everyone. So please make sure to fulfill your gift promise.

Those members who are still waiting please post the user name of your gift exchange buddy, so that they are aware that you have not gotten your package. The package might have been shipped out but it could have gotten lost in the mail, shipped from overseas or been shipped to the wrong address, it has happened in the previous exchange.

Thank you,

[Ninabeana26]

My buddy was/is PhocoenaGirl. I hope she received my package to her!

[Alex]

After a really long wait, we finally got our overseas package last night. It must have gotten delayed at the customs.
Pictures coming soon!

Pffieuw.. That's a relief!! Haha.. Hope you (and the B's) like the presents! Can't wait to see the pics

Here we go, toilet paper was the biggest hit. Zebra was dealt with first, I did not have time to get it captured on camera. Thank you so much, our Bs are happy with their gifts.

Maddox the cat, got to play with the box…
