What do you want for your birthday? A puppy and tacos
ramonaghan replied to gracegirl's topic in Everything else Greyhound
As excited as I am about the bathroom sinks I got for my birthday last week, I think you got the better gift. (At least I got burritos too.) To you and an official welcome to Poppy! -

WFUBCC #227 - In Like A Lion
ramonaghan replied to greysmom's topic in Cute and Funny things Greyhounds do
Ducky, we had two instances of unexplained swelling with Sweep, one on her leg (we suspect there was a tiny puncture or bite) and another like Flashy where her face swelled. I don't remember if she had a fever, but she got antibiotics and injectable Benadryl from our e-vet too, and she recovered fully and relatively quickly. To this day we don't know if the issue was a bad reaction to a plant or a bite or neither of the above. These mysteries are so frustrating and scary. Sending our best thoughts for you and Flashy. -
Willa needs your vote!

Here's what I found on the terms page: So, while it's a shame it's not 100%, it's much better than 10%. PAWS is listed as the designated grantee. I looked up DTCare and it seems legitimate and has high ratings on nonprofit and charity ratings sites. I am not sure where some Redditors are getting their info, but I'd love to see the sources. -

Wow, thanks for letting me know! That's terrible. Off to Reddit... ETA: Okay, I'm back. It doesn't sound like a scam, it sounds like competitors didn't read the rules. They're very clear that your pet is competing in one group of many (though you don't know how many, and if the 2000+ I saw on Reddit is accurate, Willa never had a chance!) and only toward the end are the groups whittled down such that the winners compete against each other. As far as buying votes, I'm sure there's some truth to that, but the participants can't vote for their own pets (though I'm sure there are cheaters) and everyone gets one free vote per day. So donations are always optional. Subscribers to the magazine report that past winners are featured on the cover, as advertised. In terms of where the donations go, I can't confirm that, but it's some seriously karma if only a small portion is donated. -
I sincerely hope it's nothing but the corn, but given his age and breed I would definitely get x-rays to be safe. These guys can be so stoic even if they're in severe pain. With our first osteo girl, we had no clue anything was wrong until she broke her leg doing zoomies in the yard. She never limped or had any swelling. We have another osteo girl now who is only five, and although she did develop a sudden lump on her wrist, she only stopped being her goofy self for the couple of weeks she was recovering from her amputation. I think you need the scans to give yourself peace of mind and, if it is serious, to make a plan of action ASAP. All best thoughts for you and Blu!

I hear you! Pro tip: Don't wear flip-flops.

Way to go, Amelia! ETA: Notice that back right leg doing what my husband calls the "skateboard move." We were worried something was wrong at first but it's just how they launch themselves along.

Two Faces of Punkin
ramonaghan replied to FiveRoooooers's topic in Cute and Funny things Greyhounds do
I believe this qualifies as "doin it rite"! Good girl, Punkin! -
My aunt pointed out that it looks like Willa only has two legs (!) in the second photo. That would be real talent.

Hope all goes well tomorrow! We'll be baknforfing.

Doolin might have outraced her, but Willa is the treat-catching champion. (And yep, it's time for the first mow of the season here.)
