Hi all,
With the help of very generous family and friends, including many here, Maggie was one of the top vote getter's (fund raisers) in the 2011 "Cancer Can't Keep a Good Dog Down" calendar contest sponsored by Luke Robinson's group 2 Dogs, 2000 Miles and their new foundation 2 Million Dogs.
Here is their mission:
2 Million Dogs was formed with the singular aim of eradicating cancer in
pets and people and it will work towards that end by educating people
about and investing in comparative oncology studies.
Maggie will be Miss April when the calendar comes out!!
The calendars will be up for sale in November sometime- you can check the links above, and I will try and remember to post a reminder. The funds go toward eradicating K9 cancer- a cause we can all relate to!
Thanks again to all of you here who voted for Mag (and Fortis and Cemil too!). I owe you all personal thank-you emails but computer time is limited these days (dang cranky shoulder!).
The picture below is the one of Maggie that will appear in the calendar- it was taken on March 26th this year, her 11th birthday.

Hello Miss April!
Congrats on getting into the Calendar Maggie!!! It would be awesome if we could set up something like this on the tripawd website! Tripawd Calendars!!! (Maybe a future fundraising idea...)

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog

Congrats, Karen! This will be something you treasure. I'm happy to see a tripawd made it.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Yay!! How cool that she made it into this year's calendar! Our little angel hero will be an inspawration to lots more families!

Yeah! Congrats for Miss April, and we would certainly buy a calendar. We also think a Tripawd calendar would be pawsome.

You go girl! We're so proud of you. This community couldn't ask for a more precious, courageous, and inspirational representative than you sweet Maggie!
One day this horrible disease will be eradicated. Thank you Maggie.

There are Tripawd Calendars!!!
Check out the 2010 version HERE.
It is a recognition calendar acknowledging the ongoing support of some of the most active Tripawd.com contributors from 2009! Featuring 24 active Tripawds members this calendar makes the perfect monthly reminder that its better to hop on three legs than to limp on four.
I haven't seen any discussion of the 2011 version yet though.... but then it's only September.
Karen
Oh sweet! I just checked out the calendar link! Guess we will have to wait and see if there will be a 2011 version...

Thanks for the props for the 2010 Tripawds Calendar Karen, you rock. Admin Guy and I have actually been talking about it this week, we plan on doing another one shortly.
All of our homes will be plastered with photos of pawsome Tripawd and canine cancer heroes once again! Stay tuned!

Oh! Our little Mags will be famous! I'm thrilled! It my birthday month so I'm really gonna celebrate! April showers bring "Kick cancer in the butt" flowers!
Anyone got any prednisone to give Karen for that shoulder until she has surgery? I miss her postings! 
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
