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
Gift Exchange: Basenji Buddies Summer 2008
-
I think we can just continue adding to this thread.
-
I plan on posting pictures when I get mine!
-
You can include you forum member name in the gift package. We will specify this optional step in the gift exchange guidelines next time. I think element of the mystery, not really knowing who sent it, is fun.
Not to be a downer but I'd rather know who it is from, I plan on writing a letter from Zahra explaining her gifts too. I think it is a great way for those of us all over to "meet".
-
So, when do we get to start hearing what people are getting from their basenji buddies?
-
When I get mine, I'm going to post pics and details..
I'm sending my gifts out tomorrow so my buddy should have it within the week!
-
I've got mine packaged and ready to send off tomorrow. Hope our buddy lets us know how they liked them!
-
I got mine back, and have to try again once I get the address fixed. It appears between the buddy and me, the address got jumbled.
-
I wait for one more little detail and send off by maybe Thursday. I am curious how long the post will take….
Regards,

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) …
