I found the cutest new collar for Rio, and just in time for the 2 Million Dogs Puppy Up walk, too. The manufacturer, Chief Furry Officer is donating a portion of the proceeds to Canine Cancer Awareness, too. I thought I'd share their info, in case anypawdy else needs a new collar or leash -- they have lots of styles, though I think this is the only style they're doing the donation on....

We'll post more pictures when our sweet new collar arrives!

OMD, that is SO cute! She's going to look pawesome in it.

Might have to check that out. Abby needs a new leash! Going to the beach every day and getting her existing one wet has made the little thing you use to snap it into place corrode away.

We are of course going to need to see pics of Rio rockin' that new bling!

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Oh Woo!  You are going to look FAB-U-LOUS!    I can't wait to see you sporting it in a picture!

 

Don't tell monkeybutt you know this...but his mommy bought his collar at Food-4-Less!  (yep, a grocery store)

Her Retired AvatarComet - 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.

You are pretty cute now, but when you get old and all your hair falls out like me, you're gonna need a fancy collar to still be cute. And I would actually have more hair if they'd stop shaving me....
