Am I the only one who sometimes notices a distinctive "bulge" under her tail? It seems to come and go, and every time I see it, I am just SURE a hoof is going to appear. LOL Oh, the time I have spent/wasted looking at a giraffe's hiney. It sure looks like something is going on there to me. Please let this be the night!

That text link doesn't work for me. Anyone else have problems? I hadn't tried it but maybe go to www.aprilthegiraffe.com instead and try the link there? ETA: I don't see an alert link on either page and yes when I click the alert link, either here or Facebook, it doesn't load. Sorry. Hope they fix it soon if you plan to sign up. I do believe there is a charge.

Yup, I'm ready for an all nighter and a sleepy Sunday so let's get this done tonight April! Lol.

After weeks of trying to avoid the live feed I got sucked in. I wonder if there is giraffe oxytocin.

That text link doesn't work for me. Anyone else have problems? Yep, me too. I am assuming access issues due to demand on the server of lots of people trying to access it once. I was able to pay, and it went through PayPal, but I wasn't able to put my name and number in before it crashed. I'm going to give it a couple of hours before trying again.

My favorite parts have been when the staff and the vet have interacted with April. When they do their thing and then kiss her belly... It is easy to see how much they all love and care for her, and that is what melts my heart. And I also love when she lets them know to back the heck off.

You know, no matter how many times I see it, my heart still skips a beat when she goes to lie down. I know she's been doing it for 15 years and is pretty well adjusted to doing it now, but it just *looks* like she's going to lose her balance and somehow fall over every single time she does it.

I don't have any concerns about her care whatsoever, seeing how well loved and cared for she is by the staff. And it seems mutual.

I just did it and everything went through without crashing, but I was never asked to enter my number or anything. Just double checked my PayPal info and it had an old home number that we don't even have anymore, so at least I updated that with my cell and hope that's enough. Kind of wish I had waited to sign up until it was a bit less glitchy...fingers crossed it works!

Unfortunately, it charged my paypal a second time going through it, but I did get a screen to come up that looked like the sign up page with the giraffes on the background where I had to put in my name and phone number and hit subscribe, and I got a success message come up. I'll deal with the charge to paypal on Monday there is a phone number and email for the seller in the transaction so I'll be able to contact them. Its only $5 so not too worried it being out there till then.

My "all nighter" is about to end. I'm so tired, there's no way I can make it much longer. Guess we'll see what morning brings.
Enjoy the live feed! Hopefully, for all, we'll see a calf soon.

Its only $5 so not too worried it being out there till then. After reading about similar problems in their fb comments, I believe my sign up was unsuccessful since I wasn't taken to a page to enter my number. People said after they signed up, they instantly got a text letting them know they were in and I definitely didn't get that far. I actually just finished asking PayPal for a refund and will try again tomorrow hopefully after the rush dies down a bit. That is, unless April has that baby tonight, lol!

I signed up for the text. Outdoor field hockey tourney today and I've sucked up enough data watching for this baby already.
My kids are animal lovers anyway, but they have learned so much watching this site, and reading the AAP and vet posts. Well worth a few bucks so they can keep following for a bit.
I saw last night where April tried to lay down, and just couldn't. She hopped back up and paced around again. Poor thing must just be done.
