Gift Exchange: Basenji Buddies Summer 2008

Basenji Talk

  • I definitely agree with Snorky, I would like an xmas one as well, however I think there is plenty of time to do 2 before then…if we close submissions by the end of august, ship gifts by the end of September, then pick it up again in October or November for the holiday season..that might be good. Otherwise I am afraid if we wait so long, people will forget/not visit the site often by then/etc. If we plan that now, people who dont' want to do both could just opt to wait until the second one, just my opinion, but I will go along with whatever is decided...either way it shoudl be lots of fun...thanks again for doing this!


  • I forgot about the December birthday part – the postal service will have fun delivering all these basenji birthday presents :D


  • I believe we have received enough submissions for this round of Basenji Buddies gift exchange. If anyone is interested to join in please read the top post of this thread and email us your submission by August 29, 2008.


  • Today is the last day to join this first round of Basenji Buddies gift exchange. If anyone is interested to join in please read the top post of this thread and email us your submission by the end of today (August 29, 2008).

    Over the weekend we will randomly pair up everyone who submitted their information to us and send out emails with instructions.


  • Have you sent out the buddy information yet? I have had a ton of junk mail lately and I wanted to make sure your e-mail did not end up in my spam folder by accident.

    Thanks!


  • It's coming, had to sort through all the submissions myself. :)


  • Alex,

    Sorry to be antsy…but I still haven't received an email with the info...have you sent them out yet? Looking forward to the Basenji Penpal exchange!!! :-)Thanks!


  • Any updates on our Basenji Buddies gift exchange?

    Haven't heard anything in quite a while…


  • We finally sorted through all the submissions and everyone should have gotten their Basenji Gift Buddy. Please let us know (giftexchange@basenjiforums.com) if you have not gotten an email from us.

    Also we noticed that several members who voted on the poll did not email us their submissions in the format requested in the first post of this thread. There is still time, hurry and email us.

    Those members who did receive their Basenji Gift Buddy email, please send your gift in a timely manner. :)

    Enjoy! This is going to be a lot of fun!


  • Andrew,

    I received my e-mail today from Admin.


  • Great! Thanks- I just opened my e-mail up :)

    Look forward to sending my gifts to my new basenji buddy!


  • I also received my eMail from Admin.

    Regards,
    Esther


  • I have my goodies ready, now I just have to wrap and send! What fun!

  • I'm so excited!

    My basenji buddy gift is all ready and I'll be getting the finishing touches tomorrow and then it'll be in the post on Monday.

    I can't wait to send it off and know that Shango's going to have a new friend!


  • I am almost ready but I have to pick up something for my buddy this weekend at a Dog walking event. I am so excited to put it all together and get it in the mail.


  • I mailed mine yesterday, hope our basenji buddy likes it! It was hard to stop, I kept finding things…....

  • Giving gifts and making new basenji friends is so much fun!


  • Are we suppose to let our Buddies know who we are?


  • 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.


  • With mine, Shango wrote a letter to go with it, explaining the gifts…etc. (haha!)

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.
  • Is this a Basenji??

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    I got my package on Monday!!! :) I haven't had time to update but Dallas loved all of his gifts! He loved the loofa dog! He was carrying it all around the house with him Monday evening. He & our family dog have been playing tug of war with the rope that he received. Oh, and Tuesday he found the bag of milkbones on my dresser while I was at work…thankfully he didn't eat the plastic bag :rolleyes: The bones, obviously, are gone. Such a pig :rolleyes:
