Hi All,

I've entered Rio in the 2 Million Dogs Calendar fundraiser.  I'd really love to see her sweet face grace the pages of the 2013 calendar, but we need your help.  Please vote -- It's a minimum of $5, then $1 increments after that.  It's a fabulous cause -- comparative oncology studies between dogs and their best friends.  And if we win, we get to choose where their study dollars go (Mast Cell Tumors would be our choice)!

Hope my Rio-girl wins! Here's the link to her fundraising page.

 

Rio's momma, Micki

Go Rio!! I'll vote when I get home.
Maggie was in the 2011 calendar- very special.  It was hard to make the top 13 but we did it.  Do you have a FB post going? I would love to re-post that.

Done and done.

Our year the competition came down to the last hours.  Trouble was in the 2010 calendar- I remember Shana telling me how tough the competition was.

Good luck!

3rd! Whoohoo! Hope she makes it in.

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!

Rio is now in first place for donations, thanks to some very generous donors.  There's still time to vote, though, and I'd love to see her blow the doors off the competition (we've only got the thinnest sliver of a lead right now).

Our Rio-girl has dropped back to 2nd place with two more days of voting to go...  Remember, it's not just me being overly competitive -- it's for a great cause!  Here's TWP Grand Marshall Rio all decked out for last year's Puppy Up walk.
