THIS!!!!! Definitely one of the reason why I wanted to do it. Also just love getting all of your beautiful hound and other animals cards!

I'll post Nov 1st to gather everyone's info.

Sweet! I will post a new card exchange post when it gets closer, but I'd be totally fine putting a list together for any of us that wants to participate. I'll probably just have everyone PM me their info.

I don't mind! I think you've gotten one from me every year I've participated

Woohoo!

If needed, I can put together the exchange list. Won't be anything fancy, would just have everyone's info on it that wants to participate.

Woohoo!

I know I’m early here, but really hoping we do these this year. I know I would appreciate some cheer this holiday and I always love getting the beautiful cards with everyone’s hounds on them. And last year was the first time I participated in SS and it was really fun. I’d love to do it again!

+ 1 for a non FB user!

Oh boy! I'm glad I posted this. I'm on the Grapehounds mailing list so I got an email right away about it.

Me too... GIG and GRtB are my 2 favorites!

I'm sure everyone knows that GRtB is canceled this year. Is anyone still going down to the beach area then?

We have switched to Pro Plan Savor and that seems to be working. We also add a scoop of the wet version on top and that seems to have sweetened the deal even more LOL when they weren’t eating well I’d lecture them saying there were starving pups in the world!

Hey gang, Haven't been on here in a while! Our girls are doing well... only issue is they have been super picky with eating... we are trying a different food (Ians green bag) at the moment. They are eating it but don't seem super excited about it. I know this is somewhat related to the hot weather. Any suggestions on food to try next if this one doesn't work out? Thx for the help!

Just a quick update... We were VERY strict with cones and lease walks ONLY for 12 days, which sucked having 2 young greyhounds who love to play and run. But it paid off... Amelia's wound healed perfectly as did Carmens. Last bit of precaution they both received rabies booster shots yesterday. Both girls are back running round, playing and being their cheerful selves. So far we have not seen any more groundhogs in the yard... hope it stays that way.

To be safe they are getting a rabies booster shot as well.

Got through the 1st 24 hours... both are doing well. Carmen's mouth swelling has gone down and Amelia's cut is already scabbing over. They both seem unfazed except for the cones LOL

They are nasty little suckers!

Thx for all the well wishes. So far they are doing as good as they can... laying around pouting.

Yes, they go down swinging for sure! My last 2 got into it with one and it kicked their butts too! Just not as bad. First time though I've been glad my husband and I are working from home now LOL Carmen seems to have just given her will to the cone, while Amelia is determined to break it off her head. Last night she wouldn't settle down with it so she ended up sleeping on the bed with us... cone and all. Somehow it worked!

Sigh... Well, we had to take BOTH hounds to the ER last night... they both apparently attacked a groundhog in our yard, and the groundhog did a number on them. Both needed stitches. Poor Amelia got a big gash across her muzzle, and poor Carmen managed to bite the inside of her mouth and ended up with an arterial puncture! Now I have 2 young ones in cones (god help me) for the next 10-14 days.

Thx for the heads up... I need to cancel my hotel!

I’m so sorry to hear that

Sadly I just got the email GiG 2020 is canceled. I was really looking forward to going this year with the girls. I am leaving them with my registration as a donation to help offset the loss in revenue.

Good news! Since Carmen started the anti-inflammatories her ankle has made good progress... She's not limping as near as much and since it's not bothering her too much she's stopped licking it which has allowed the raw skin around it to heal! She will only be on the anti-inflammatories a few more days. Hopefully this time has given it time to do some healing and we won't need them for a while.
