Gift Exchange: Winter Holidays 2011


  • :o hahaha and after a while, we can see it on tv, with border security… can't wait to see that episode!


  • A Basenji buddy package arrived here today! The presents are wrapped so they're under the tree, no pre-Christmas opening of gifts for the Basenjis in this house. I opened the card though, the best one of the season thus far, it has a Basenji on it!

  • Gossy and Teddy's package arrived yesterday - Teddy latched on to the seal toy immeidately and started throwing it around the house (it landed in the christmas tree once) and the little chipmunk already has his hands and an ear gone and the stuffing pulled halfway out. And Gossy sampled the treats (amazing how they can get those packages open). Thanks and barooo.

    I took pictures but my camera won't download anything - aarrgghh! (maybe I can take it to the camera shop after Christmas and see if they can pull the photos).


  • Ohh I am so glad you got your presents! Tucker loves the tree with the chipmunks, I put a whack of toys in it and he loves to just pull them all out. I keep putting them in and he keeps pulling them out, he loves the challenge and it keeps his mind busy. I should have bought more 'Basenji proof' toys…..hahaha I don't think there is such a thing. Well hopefully they love them and have a Wonderful Christmas!


  • @wizard:

    I took pictures but my camera won't download anything - aarrgghh! (maybe I can take it to the camera shop after Christmas and see if they can pull the photos).

    Not to hijack the thread, but how about taking the camera card to someplace like WalMart or similar that has card readers in the "do it yourself" computers. Assuming the card is readable (should be if you can see the pix) they can make a CD of your pictures for you. Just a thought.


  • A present for the boys arrived yesterday 😃

    They are spoiled… really spoiled 😃
    There were two bags of snacks.. they could try it that minute and they love both 😃 (see the pictures, and also the one with them looking "we want more pleeeeeeeeeease)
    And then! There was a puppie kong!!!! Yay!!! the boys already have got their own kongs and nog our little Enya will have a kong of her own too 😃 😃 😃

    And... two tennis balls... Chaffie is the tennis ball freak and this morning we could not do anything because mister pretty wanted to play and we had to trow tennis balls for over half an hour 😃 (Ryan took over afterwards, they have played a long time :D)

    AND! a Kong genius!!! I never saw it in the stores before but WOW we can buy more pieces to make it sort of a puzzle.. 😃
    They already have a lot of fun with this one, I have (of course) kong stuffing and cookies so lots of fun time..

    Now see the pictures of two spoiled basenji boys 😃
    (don't mind the bad lightning of the pics)


  • Oh my! What do you do for an encore on Christmas?? They look like they are having a lot of fun! 🙂


  • Hunter & Bandit got their present yesterday!!!

  • First Basenji's

    Loving all these pictures! It's great to see multiple basenji packs sharing so nicely. 🙂

    We're hoping something will appear on the last mailing day before Christmas, but if not, I guess it's karmic retribution for us not getting our presents out to our own family in time. That's okay – New Year's is a nice holiday for us, too!


  • My B's got their package today. As soon as hubby walked in the door with it they knew it was theirs. I will post pictures once I get back home! Tucker loooooves the Hedgehog, Becca loves her yellow duckie and Flame has already killed the squeakers on the stuffless duck. They weren't too sure about the biscuits at first and then Becca ate hers and Tuckers. Thank you so much!


  • Success - pictures were retrieved (camera has to go) …

  • Love the last one!


  • Billy, Ren and Teak opened their gifts on Christmas eve.
    Thank you very much to their Basenji buddy!!

    Billy realizes that he has a gift…

    He can't see it, but he can chew it!

    Enthusiastic Ren has a gift as well.

    A new coat and a new friend.

    Teak also has a present

    And he "gets" this gift opening business!

    In his ruggedly handsome new sweater.

    As always, Billy ends up with all the toys!

  • First Basenji's

    Buana, the package arrived today just in time for the dogs' afternoon snacktime! Thank you for all the goodies, also the human ones. 🙂 Both dogs are munching on their hot dogs right now. I'm also very excited about the ostrich training treats. That's not a protein that you see very often in stores around here!

    I'll post pictures later. Meanwhile, happy new year to everyone!!


  • Ok here are some pics of the pup's Christmas haul from their B friend. Thank you Wizard!
