Got mine ordered. The shipping notice says they will be here Saturday. Hoping it will be before we go to the vet for Santa Paws pictures, so we can take theirs to them. Murphy is in the purple one.
Kathi and the Turbotail April Angel...and the Labradork
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

Otis is in the purple one with Murphy!
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016.  Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016.  Lung mets August 25, 2016.  Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016.  Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma. Â
Wherever they are, they are together.

Nitro is in the red calendar along with Sassy, and, wait for it.......he's on the same page as Donna's Murphy! So not only are Donna and "twins, separated at birth", but our dogs were cosmically paired up too!
Paula
Nitro 11 1/2 Â yr old Doberman; right front amp June 2014. Had 6 doses carboplatin, followed by metronomic therapy. Rocked it on 3 legs for over 3 years! My Warrior beat cancer, but couldn't beat old age. He crossed the Bridge peacefully on July 25, 2017, with dignity and on his terms. Â Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"
"Be good, mama loves you".....run free my beautiful Warrior

And like I mentioned Paula, that was totally a coincidence! I think they were sending Admin Guy a message.

Just wanted to let everyone know we received our calendars today and they are beautiful!
I was so excited looking at the all pictures I did not notice the months are all 2016! We called Cafe Press and they are going to be resending us new ones with the correct year.Â
I just wanted to post this in case this happens to everyone who orders
 They will make it right you will have to call.

All the months!? You can select the starting month (which currently defaults to November 2016), but that is certainly odd. 
Glad they are going to fix it! Thanks for posting.

Yep all the months are 2016 . Very weird, yes! I just hope it wasn't mass produced error
I wondered that at first too because when I looked a while ago she was Nov 2016 yet I wanted my calendar to start in Jan 2017 and didn't want to miss out on my girl! But I was just online now looking to to order mine and I think it is fixed. Kylie is in the Blue calendar btw 🙂 Now just trying to decide how many people to buy for!! Hopefully I get them in Canada in time for Christmas!

I can't wait! Mine were supposed to be here today, but FedEx changed it today and now say that it will be Wednesday. 😢
