Guess My Foster Hound, Get Some Upwork Swag

[kochubei_valeria]

Many of you are familiar with my greyhound, and one of Community Team’s “unofficial” mascots, Basil. I think I may have also mentioned before that Basil is occasionally joined by a foster brother or sister hound. The fun part is that we never know what kind of hound we’re going to get until the day we bring them home. So, our Community team often plays a little game of trying to guess my future foster’s coat color. I’m scheduled to receive a new foster this Saturday, May 29 and I invite you to join our team in an informal game for a chance to win some Upwork swag.

Here are the rules:

• Choose one of the coat colors in the picture and leave it in a comment below by Saturday 5/29, noon PST.
• The first person to guess correctly will win some Upwork swag with new branding.
• Check back on Monday, May 31. I’ll update this thread with the cutest picture of the foster hound I’ll have available and the name of the winner.
• We’ll send the winner Upwork swag (note: we have been experiencing longer than usual shipping times but will keep the winner informed with estimated arrival dates).

Fawn Brindle because it's my favourite colour 🙂

[colettelewis]

Black and white, because I didn't know you could get greyhounds in black and white. 

[prestonhunter]

This is a trick question.

Valeria currently has ALL of these and is going to keep the one she likes the best.

[kochubei_valeria]

Haha, Preston, I wish! But no, unfortunately, I'm not living with a pack of 20 greyhounds. 

If you don't believe me and would prefer to stick to your theory though, you're welcome to guess which greyhound I like the best

[moonraker]

Light brindle.

Just because it looks so cool. 

[colettelewis]

Valeria! Your hound has an Upwork blanket! How EV do you have to be to get one of those?

Nichola, Basil signed up for our Pupwork Plus Membership and got this blanket as one of the perks

Seriously though, he just stole it from his humans just like the rest of the throw blankets in our house.

I'm living with a pack of 20 coconuts. And I'm liking it! 😉:desert_island:️😜

[AveryO]

BUT. I. WANT. TO. GUESS. THE. COLOR. TOO. 

LOL. The last time we did this with our team, I guessed it right with a bunch of other people. So I want to make a guess again!  But anyway, I wish everyone good luck!

[mwiggenhorn]

Ok.  I guess blue.  Because in the South, we love our blue dogs...

[lysis10]

ahhhh Petra and Mary took my guesses. I'll say Red.

[allergywriter]

I am guessing the black and white.

Because I like to keep things simple

Dark Brindle. Thanks for the fun game!

[wescowley]

I'll go with the Dark Red. That one looks cool.

[etrusca]

I say fawn

[jr-translation]

I guess Black Brindle.

[shehanfernando]

Red Fawn :dog:

[rverang]

White & Brindle!

[astepanov83]

So many colors are already chosen. I thought about creating a new picture with used colors crossed out. But I'm lazy. So I'm just going to ask..... why isn't the merch on Amazon yet???

[petra_r]

Taken and free hounds as of now

[astepanov83]

Mine is Black

[claudiacezy]

Brindle. 

[yitwail]

Blue brindle. Glad to be in the running for the swag. 😺

[AndreaG]

Good pick, John! I hope everyone takes their guess before the deadline tomorrow, there are still some options left!

Good luck everyone!

[petra_r]

Still available: Red Brindle, Red and White, White and Brindle

[feed_my_eyes]

Hmm, is there no such thing as a grey greyhound? You learn something new every day. Put my money on red and white, please.

That would be the "blue" 🙂

I'll take white and brindle, please.

[petra_r]

Only Red Brindle left 🙂

You can't have fawn, Antonia has that.

Alright, everybody, meet Felicia! She's a very cuddly and curious girl who likes to play fetch more than any other greyhound I've met in my life. She's black and is starting to get some grey around her snoot because she's almost four. 

This means that our winner is Aleksandr! Aleksandr, I'll be reaching out to you directly later this week about your prize.

Thanks everybody for your guesses (and for keeping track of the guesses, Petra) I had a ton of fun with this thread and we'll consider doing something like this again in the future. Meanwhile, if your pups or other pets would like to say hi to Felicia, feel free to post their pictures here.

[astepanov83]

[petra_r]

Ooooh, she's lovely, Valeria! I hope she'll find her forever home soon. I'd be useless as a foster, they'd never go anywhere again. Looks like she's settled in nicely!

Murphy (the Spaniel) and Nike, Baby and Layla (cats) say "Welcome home!" - oh and Congrats to Aleksandr!

[colettelewis]

She's adorable Valeria. If I lived near you, I would adopt her in a heartbeat! 

Congrats Aleksandr! 

[mwiggenhorn]

Stella says hello.
