Gift Exchange: Winter Holidays 2008

Basenji Talk

  • Yay! I am glad they liked everything…toys can be very hard to pick out for basenjis, I know unless they are food flavored it is very hard to get Tosca to play with any of her toys. So I am excited they are playing with them, even if that means they are destroyed in like 5 minutes :) Tosca likes her stuffed stocking as well, it already has a hole in it from throwing it around and chewing it. It helps her get exercise in this crazy below zero weather though, she loves to chase it when I throw it around the house! Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!


  • 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?


  • 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 :D

    Here some pics of the unpacking and the toys :)

    Thank you Alex and Vanessa!!!! :D


  • 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 :D
    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 :D

    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?


  • @Alex:

    This was a great gift exchange. Thank you everyone for participating, and special thanks to AndrewnShango for coming up with this idea.

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

    Have you received yours already?


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


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


  • 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,


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


  • 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…


  • Great pics! Glad they enjoyed it!! :)


  • @Janneke:

    Our winters here in Australia are not like yours in New England - we don't get snow where I am, but do get hard frosts. Cold days are 14C, but situated where I am on the side of a hill, the wind off the snow area 75 kms further up the valley can get a bit lazy - prefers to go through you rather than round you!! And as we all know - Basenjis don't 'do' cold!! My Swedish boy is cuddled up in his bed in front of the heater beside me. Silly boy still gets his summer coat in our winter!!

    My dog has a few coat and has boots that she wears in the snow. She has a fleece hoodie and a jean jacket. I now have an IG doggie how hates the cold so I looked on the greyhound sites and found a coat that is made for basenji's and IG's. I forget the site off hand but I will look it up for you and get back to you. It is fleece and has a snooze(neck/head warmer). Great coat and easy to put on.
