Gift Exchange: Winter Holidays 2009

Basenji Talk


  • Rita, thanks again for sending us the toy and the food…you had already sent plenty, you didn't need to do that :) However, I am sure Tosca will love the food, she doesn't usually get "gourmet" food like that! We haven't tried it yet, but will soon, probably after this actually when I go to feed her. She loved the toy as well, and threw it around the living room for quite awhile already. Have a Merry Christmas, and I hope Jaycee enjoys opening her gifts!


  • Hunter and Bandit love their gifts. They were driving me crazy last night, as I was trying to go to bed, and they were having a nice game of tug-o-war with a stuffed dog!!! I have been trying to upload some pics for a while and I'm not having any success. I will make the effort again this weekend on my home computer.

    Thanks again Gossy and Merry Christmas!!!!:):)


  • Medjai got his and has enjoyed it. He can't figure out which stuffed animal to play with at a time, so he jumps through all 4 of them. He did already start to rip the tail off one, :(. It is fun watching him though. I think his favorite is the stuffed hedgehog.

    Thanks


  • Jill thank you Jaycee loved her present hopeful Ashley can down load pictures Sat onto here. Jaycee loved the cookies that she went crazy over. Jaycee not to sure about the whole Christmas thing. First snow up to her belly then presents she finally just got onto Steven's lap and went to sleep like I will wake soon and this night mare will be gone I hope. Thank you again love the blanket going into her kennel so soft. Don't forget to let us know about the baby.

  • That's great that Jaycee liked her gifts, even if she isn't too sure yet about the whole Christmas thing!! I will definitely let you know once the baby is born…could be any day now...just waiting!! :)


  • At last here are the photos of the gifts we got. Thank you Buana!


  • Love the baby gates everywhere, Alex!

    I'm still having issues with my gift exchange photos but will solemnly swear to keep trying till everyone can see how much fun my pups had!!!!


  • There's no doubt that animals do appreciate recieving gifts, they must learn that exciting things for them come out of packages. Even our Cats come into the livingroom on christmas morning and wait for their pressies. I love the pic of the Cat looking up as if to say "Let me into that radiator bed !" :D


  • And the cat is thinking: "This is the only time I wish I were a dog". :D


  • They were all very fascinated by the radiator attachment, too bad we don't have a radiator, but it fits on the baby gate very well :)

    So far the little string ball is the best hit, we even taught both of the dogs to catch it in the air when you throw it to them.


  • Thank You Mirtillo , Lycia we recieved are package from the neatherlands. It was great fun to watch the pups with it. They must have learned something watching everyone else opening gifts. ;)They loved everything. I took pics hoping to get them posted.


  • @Alex:

    You're welcome!

    We just had to send a radiator bed because our boys LOVE it..
    You're B's will have so much fun with it :D

    We have to thank you too, there arrived a package from you for the boys… :D We can't wait to open it!!!! (January 8th we have an appointment for the vaccination of Ryan so we can recieve it ourselfe)


  • Our dogs and the cat love it. All the gifts are for now their favorites until fully destroyed. :)


  • The B's loved their gift from Alex and Vanessa :)


  • That's great! Sounds like this gift exchange went pretty smooth. Should we have another one in Summer?

    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!!

    For all those of you living in cold climates - I got a "Chilly Dog" coat (http://www.chillydogs.ca/) for Brodie a couple Christmases ago. It is a great design and super warm and has held up really well. A bit expensive but worth it. He also got a matching head muff which was supposed to keep his ears warm (this was when we were living in Ottawa and the -40C weather) but he hated having his ears covered.

    If the wax doesn't work, try muttluks…my B wears them. It's funny at first for her, but she adjusts and takes her usual walks with them. Keep us posted on how the wax works...very interesting!
