Calling all Tripawds members, it's time for the 2015 Tripawds Calendars!
Starting today, your Tripawd can be featured in the 2015 community calendar when you post and share your one very best Tripawd photo!
Who's Eligible?
- All registered Tripawds.com members* with living or angel Tripawds of any species.
- Honorary Tripawds (quadpawds undergoing palliative care, those with a limb deformity, etc.)
- Packs with multiple Tripawds are also eligible (you can enter 1 photo per Tripawd or a group photo).
- Previous calendar Tripawds may send a new photo.
*Inclusion in the calendar is only available to registered Tripawds members. Not yet a member? Register here, it's free!
Photo Requirements
Only one "Print-Ready" photo per Tripawd will be accepted for the calendar. This means that the one image you submit must be of good enough resolution/size to be printed in a paper calendar. If not, it cannot be included in the calendar (small photos do not reproduce well in print).
Your original source image must be at least 2400 x 1800 minimum size.
Here's how to tell if your photo is the right quality:
On a Mac: view the photo and "Get Info" by typing " + i" (Command I).
On Windows: hover your mouse over it in your Library or image viewer.
Clear as mud? Ask any questions you'd like so we can help you find one great photo.
How to Submit Your Photo
All registered Tripawds.com members may submit one photo for each Tripawd by posting it here in the Tripawds Forums OR emailing it to us.- Photos MUST be received no later than Sunday 10/26 at 11:59pm Eastern Time.
- Not sure how to upload your one photo in the Forums? Read these forum photo upload instructions.
- If you still need help contact us, we're happy to assist.
Keep in mind that when you post your pic in the Forums, it will automatically be resized to fit on screen. That's OK. As long as you upload your original photo you're in business.
All photos submitted by the 10/26 deadline will be included in a Tripawds Community Calendar!
Multiple calendar versions will be designed, based on the number of photos submitted. Please keep in mind that due to page constraints and image quality, some photos will share a page with other Tripawd heroes or angels in order to maintain appropriate page count and good print quality.
We hope this makes sense. Please ask any questions if something's unclear or you need help, then start digging for that one perfect photo!
Thanks so much for your participation. A portion of calendar proceeds help keep the Tripawds community online.

This is not my # 1 choice, but most of his post amp pics are so bad. I have a 4 legged one also, but do not know if it can be used. Ty was pretty sick with MRSA
when this was Taken.
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.

Ooooh, I am so jumping in on this! My two tripawds: Angel Jake and Wonderdog Tanner. These are my favorite pictures of both of them. Jake at the cabin in the mountains and Tanner at 4000 ft. I can't wait to see the calendar!!

Lori, we'll need you to email the high-resolution file for your preferred photo. These are indeed too small for print production.

Great Elizabeth! We will also need you to provide high resolution files for these photos. Thanks!

Jerry/Admin - I emailed you some photos today (from my work email) Can you please let me know if you got them and if they are the right size? I'll select the one I want if they work!
Thank you!

October 15, 2000 to April 8, 2014
Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Thanks!!

Lori.....Hmmmm....of course any picture of Ty is a great one....but I have to go with the FOUR legged one....those eyes....those soulful eyes and his beautiful fur coat! Then again, I remember how happy you felt when Ty went out in the snow and had such a good time.....hmmmmm...........still voting for the 4 legger though.
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
