Kindred.
Button says
I’m a 15 year old rescue greyhound, I’ve been with my forever family nearly 10 years now and they must be doing something right because even though I’m now grey around the muzzle (and food stained!) and a bit weak in the back legs I’m loving life and being a family dog.
My mum would like to bring all the rescue greys home to our house for lots of love and a proper family but Dad (quite rightly so) said “nope, don’t be ridiculous”.
Mum is always a bit ridiculous.
Anyway, the $50 payment will go to Helens Helping Hounds.
 
:appl:
I would like to be added to the raffle, too. Is responding here ok, or should we send an e-mail?
Hi Kindred, congratulations.
If you’d like to message me via Loupe Troop a little treasure can come live at your house.
 
Congrats @kindred! Look forward to seeing more of this little guy on PS often.

And thanks @Bron357 for putting on this raffle. May be one of the most popular rubies in PS history!
 
OMG! :eek-2: I am just seeing the picture with Button now. :dance: :bigsmile: :appl::cry2:

I just sent you an e-mail, Bron. Thank you SO much! I have ALWAYS wanted a ruby, which is my birthstone, and this will be my FIRST EVER colored stone! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am!!!

This raffle and your sharing of tourmalines and the story of your legendary find are all amazing. I feel like this community is such a special place but you have gone above and beyond!

Edit- Thank you for rescuing Button and for so generously giving the ruby AND a donation to greyhound rescue. :-)
 
I love button and love that this special stone will go to @kindred ! @Bron357 you rock! If my DH weren't allergic to dogs (hence we only have hypoallergenic pups), I would LOVE to rescue greyhounds. They are such lovely dogs.

@kindred Congratulations! It can't be easy to get a really good ruby, having such an expensive birthstone! Be sure to pop by CS forums more and show us what you're going to do with the ruby!

@Bron357 Button is adorable, despite the grey muzzle and the food stains! And you bring us so much fun and joy on PS, don't ever leave!

@Bron357, She arrived today and she is gorgeous! Even my husband didn't manage to get a decent photo, so I hope that you don't mind my using one of your photos as my avatar. The color is so awesome.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!! :love: :love: :love:
:clap: :appl: :dance:

@Wanaka, I think Button is a great name for this beautiful ruby.
 
button, button, who's got the button?

@kindred does - and Button absolutely GLOWS!!!!! Congrats! !!! !!! (and more pictures!?)
 
@ringo865, We are going on vacation soon and Button will be going in the safe deposit box, but when we get back I will ask my husband to try again to get some decent photos. He is a much better photographer than I am!
 
Glad Button has arrived safely. My photo trick
Hold object in front of iPhone camera, try and get object in centre of photo, balance iPhone against body while trying to not to move object or phone and “shoot”.
Works very occasionally ha ha.
 
You lucky lady! It’s gorgeous!
