Basenji Talk

  • 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?

    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:

    Great pics! Glad they enjoyed it!! :)

    I loved the TP! Gave me a good laugh when I saw it.
    I love the card too. Thanks for translating it. :D
    The dogs love their gifts.

    Haha.. yeah.. all your stories about TP being found all through the house… I guessed they would like that :D :D


  • LOL! I love it, your B's got toilet paper, that is too funny!


  • 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:

    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!!

    sorry, Luzern, was the City. I always mix them up. My Granny did speak a little Schwizerdütsch but she was originally from Vienna and has learned it through the Years. She passed away more then 20 Years ago, but I still can remember the smell of Luzern and of special things around her. Regards, Esther

    When Lillie had stitches in her paw, I needed to keep the paw dry. I tried everything. What worked and fit the best were natural rubber, waterproof dog boots by Pawz. 12 disposable boots…slips on, stays on. I believe they were around $17.00. Their website is www.PAWZDOGBOOTS.com. Of course, as soon as we came in from our walk, Lillie was trying to get them off. Another waterproof dog boots we tried were waterproof nylon boots with non-skid soles and Velcro straps for a snug fit. $9.99 They did not fit as snug as the pawz. There is no website on the package. The company is Signature Fashion Pet Collection…#130 Waterproof Woof Boots. Good luck! Jodie:)
