What a coincidence that new member peytonpawd just started Peyton’s Path, one of our latest Tripawds Blogs!

My pack met Peyton and his people at the Morris Animal Foundation’s K9K walk they attended in Estes Park, CO a few weeks back. He was just a couple weeks out from his amputation and looking great! Just see for yourself …

Stay tuned to Wyatt’s blog and maybe he’ll get around to posting the video of all the fun he had at the dog park after the walk!

Last Saturday, September 19, the pawesome members of Team Tripawds gathered in Estes Park, Colorado, and also in Mill Valley, CA for the Morris Animal Foundation K9K Walk to Cure Canine Cancer.

With perfect sunny weather and hundreds of three and four legged dogs and their humans, we walked, we talked, we played, we had a blast. There were interesting guest speakers, prize drawings and we met some really cool pawrents, including the President and CEO of Morris, Dr. Patricia Olson! Here is Wyatt Ray, giving her a big SMOOCH.

It felt so great to know that collectively the walk raised over $12,000 for Morris’ Canine Cancer Campaign! Wooo hoo!!!

Back in California on the very same day, our dear Team Tripawds members, Shelby, Caira Sue, Codie Rae, Cemil, and Montana met up in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Here’s some pics that Caira Sue, and Shelby’s pawrents took. Thanks guys, we couldn’t have had such a successful walk without you!

Many thanks to the generous pawrents who helped make Team Tripawds a reality once again:

Renee Agredano; Cindi Crowder’ Jack Crowder; Barbara Friedman; Diane Hollenbeck; Mary James; Ralph Kanz; Seanne Moulton; Jim Nelson; Martha Rowe; Jane Winston

See you all at the next K9K Walk!

(Our apologies if you signed up later and your name isn’t listed, this is the most current Team Tripawds list we have. Let us know if you did, we’d like to thank you!)

As we mentioned a few days ago, Morris Animal Foundation is raising  money for its Canine Cancer Campaign, and holding another K9K Walk, this time in Estes Park, Colorado.

Tripawds is hoppy to announce that another Team Tripawds has been formed to help raise money. And we need your help! You can walk with us, either in person or virtually, by joining Team Tripawds today.

We need a group of at least 10 pawrents from around the world who promise to register as virtual or physical walkers, and commit to raising at least $250 for the group. Can you help?

Learn more at the  Team Tripawds discussion in our Forums, or visit our K9K Walk team page here.

To add to the fun, on the same day as the K9K Walk in Colorado, our Northern California Tripawd pawrents will walk virtually with us here in Colorado, by hosting a Tripawd Pawty in the Bay Area. We would love it if Tripawd pawrents in other parts of the country did the same thing! To plan your own K9K Walk for the same day, visit our Tripawd Parties discussion topic. Then, come join Team Tripawds!

Many of us have found this community because we’ve been affected by canine cancer. It’s an awful disease, and we want it stopped! This is one easy way we can help make a difference.

Won’t you please join Team Tripawds today?

We just got word from the Morris Animal Foundation about an important Canine Cancer fundraising event on September 19th in Estes Park, Colorado:

“More than six million dogs are diagnosed with cancer each year. Join us on September 19th at 8 am on the beautiful Lake Estes Trail beginning at Stanley Park in Estes Park, Colorado and walk for a cure! 100% of all walk registration fees, vendor fees and donations go directly to support Morris Animal Foundation’s Canine Cancer Campaign to fund research for canine cancer, early detection methods, effective treatments and ultimately a cure!

Walk registration and check in begins at 8 am. The Lake Estes Trail is approximately 4 miles, walk all or part of the trail with or without a dog. After the walk, speakers will discuss canine cancer, prevention, wellness and other topics. Visit the vendor booths and exhibits. Early walk registration fee: $25 Adults (postmarked by 9/12/2009); Walk day registration: $30 adult, $10 Child (10 years or older). Download a form here.

Many hugs and congratulations are going out to our friends who hopped along today, in their fight to help cure canine cancer. Lots of you just finished participating in the Morris Animal Foundation K9K Walk to Cure Canine Cancer, in Sacramento, CA.

Whether you walked virtually or were lucky enough to be there, you are making the world a better place for all dogs, by helping to find a cure and stop this awful disease. Thank you so much.

We just heard from our friend Seanne, Wrigley’s Mom, who sent us some lovely photos from the event. Seanne and Wrigley’s surviving sibling, Rookie and his new pal Willow, met up with our friend Montana’s Mom Jeanette. And even our pal Cemil and his mom Mary drove a couple of hours just to be there!

What a great family we have here guys! You are so, so awesome.

Remember, it’s never too late to help with Morris’ campaign. To find out how what you can do, click here.

Hey everyone,  just a quick reminder that this coming Saturday, April 18th, Team Tripawd will help and support the Morris Animal Foundation’s first K9K Walk for a cure for canine cancer!

Even if you’re on the other side of the world, you can support the cause by registering for the Tripawds Virtual Walk Team. Download the registration form here! Each “virtual walker” who signs up will receive a Canine Cancer Campaign bandanna for their dog and a Canine Cancer Campaign awareness bracelet for themselves.

Every cent they raise will go directly to Morris Animal Foundation’s Canine Cancer Campaign. If this first K9K is a hit, Morris will do another in the San Francisco Bay Area in October.  Most of all, they are hoping to inspire other dog lovers across the country to host a K9K.  Contact the Sacramento Region Canine Cancer Campaign Volunteers for more information.

See you on the 18th!
