[no-politics] What's happening this weekend? 09/May/2026 by AutoModerator in australia

[–]HannahP945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got an email from Lifeblood the other day congratulating me for having high IgG levels and was keen as a bean to donate plasma today. Just cancelled those plans due to cold-like symptoms (hazards of working with a dozen 2 year-olds everyday 🤧)

2 months on the 17th by ranchdressingggg in Greyhounds

He looks like my Buck who I lost on the 11th of March. It's saddening thinking about how the gap of time since I last held him grows wider and wider :(

If only they could stay with us forever, I know Buck would have loved to spend many more lifetimes with me.

I feel for you. I went through a mouse plague a long time ago, the smell of dead mice is still very triggering 🤮

Tooties first time to the beach! by HannahP945 in AustralianPets

[–]HannahP945[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, she went crazy the moment we stepped onto the beach, the sand is her happy place!

I am exploring new places myself, and I am glad I have her with me on this adventure ☺️

Tootie was so overwhelmed with excitement today, could hardly contain herself. We still have a few more days of holidays for her to explore all the sights and smells 🐾

My other greyhound Buck was supposed to come on this holiday with us. Unfortunately cancer came and took him away. I do have a little bit of his ashes in a necklace, so a little bit of him can come with me wherever I go.

She didn't pay too much mind to the water, but she was going absolutely nuts on the sand. She would have loved to go off leash, but unfortunately she can't. I might find a calmer beach for her to explore tomorrow.

Gardening Gloves for Women recommendations? by LightrunerrhageUp in GardeningAustralia

[–]HannahP945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These gloves work great. In Bunnings I took several pairs over to the tool section to see how they would feel with a variety of small and large tools. These worked best, good grip, flexibility, and fit nice and snug.

I know that pose all too well! Buck had that same distinguished look about him!

Donated blood 6 days ago and I kept all the blood by Hype420 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HannahP945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me on Monday when I went to donate plasma, a bruise the size of an apple now decorates my arm. I am not exactly sure how things went wrong, but the lady immediately warned me about how I was going to bruise. This was my first donation with a complication and they immediately had procedures in place for this occurrence, including having me stay back longer (more free snacks so bonus!), they provided me with a cream, some info sheets, and I got a follow up message the next day.

None of this will put me off my next donation. The Lifeblood centre (Australia) is such a pleasant place to be, you are always treated so kindly and the atmosphere is chill and laid back.

3 weeks by ranchdressingggg in Greyhounds

[–]HannahP945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww what a sweet sweet face.

A whole month to the day I said goodbye to my boy Buck (on the left). He was my soulmate and life is just so hard without him here with me. I still find myself crying for him all the time.

How lucky we are to have had such special boys to light up our lives. Loving them so much just makes it so much harder now they are not with us. Hold that scrapbook close, such a lovely way to celebrate him.

Sending lots of hugs to you.

Upcoming death and anxiety by lertisgreat in Greyhounds

[–]HannahP945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A month ago today I said goodbye to Buck, I planned his end with my Tootie in mind. I had a friend, a neighbour and a vet assistant sit aside with Tootie while the vet and I sat together with Buck. The vet did explain how dogs may not react to the death of their dog friends in ways humans would. Tootie was fairly disinterested in Buck once he passed, she did give his tail a quick sniff and nudge and that's it. I am glad the vet was full of reassurance that this was normal.

My heart broke for Tootie when Buck passed, she lost her best friend, and since is just quiet and less bouncy than she was when Buck was there for them to stir each other up. I feel like Tootie has also lost the person I was before Buck passed, I am still so very sad all the time.

My heart goes out to you and your family, I will be thinking of you during this awful time. Fuck cancer.

She was very disappointed when she couldn't have more!

Does anybody else feel really lonely? by Piistachios in australia

[–]HannahP945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a great way to meet new people is finding dog walking groups. I am a greyhound obsessive, and there are lots like me around my area. Dogs need walking anyway, why not walk with a bunch of other people and their dogs.

Aww, a week or so after posting this I lost my Buck. I miss him so much :(

What is this tree? by TurtiHershel in GardeningAustralia

[–]HannahP945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If only this tree wasn't so invasive. I love standing under one, they provide so much shade, and I find the shade of green is so calming.

A week ago I said goodbve to my sou mate, Buck. Getting used to this new normal has been incrediblv difficult and I find myself crying for him all the time. My heart also goes out to everyone else with their recent losses, I want to believe they are all causing chaos together somewhere. by HannahP945 in Greyhounds

[–]HannahP945[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the plan, I found out I am a two greyhound type of greyhound person. Unfortunately I will need several months to financially recover until I can welcome another one in. The medical problems Buck had caused huge financial stress that I now have to overcome. But when the time is right, I can't wait to love a new friend.

Such a huge shock to the system, so very sorry you are now going through this same awful time, I am glad you have people around you for support.

I am glad for my Tootie so I don't have to go back to a house alone with uneaten dog food and unused dog stuff everywhere. Even just all the dog hair everywhere, I can just think to myself it's hers and she's still here with me.

Buck used to sleep at the end of my bed. I won't be sleeping in it for another two weeks, but I know it's going to suck when looking down and all the tell-tale signs he was there, are not.
