Hi all,
First the disclaimer: this calendar is a fund raising effort to support the 2 Million Dogs Foundation, also known to those here as 2 Dogs 2000 Miles. These guys are dedicated to eradicating canine cancer. When you ‘vote’ for Maggie it will cost you at least $5.00 which is the minimum vote the site will accept. I know what managing a cancer dog costs, and I know we are having our own fund raiser here at Tripawds- so I will take absolutely no offence if you choose not to ‘vote’.
OK here is the deal-
If Maggie is one of the top 13 vote getter's her picture and story will be published in the 2011 “Cancer Can’t Keep A Good Dog Down” Calendar.
To vote for Maggie go to her Web Page and hit the ‘Click here to donate’ link or the orange 'Donate Now' button on the left side. Voting is open from midnight EST August 25th until midnight EST September 12th.
The $1000 goal was set as the default. I'll change it later up or down to look good 
.
Thanks everybody for your support!

Good Luck, Spirit Mags. Trouble is in the calendar this year. It is a hard battle to stay in the top 13, but you can do it! This year they also included the calendar winners on their memorial tee-shirt. Of course, I had to have one of those too. Trouble made three different calendars for 2010, so I gave it a rest this year, but let me tell you it is very special to look up and see that little face for all the world to see.
Having a cancer dog does put a burden on the finances, but if you can spare the cost of a vote, let's help Maggie stay on top. I'll be checking out that donation button soon.

Cool Karen!
I, too, will be checking out that donation button soon for Spirit Maggie!

Oh my gosh Karen you're so sweet for being concerned about mentioning a fundraiser. But it's all good, it all goes to making life better for dawgs. We love what Luke is doing (did you see he was at our Colorado pawty?) and his organization is really raising awareness about finding the causes of canine cancer.
We're voting, you can count on us!

I finally found the web site that shows all the dogs competing in the calendar contest. I saw several tripawds- and after a quick scan I recognized Fortis and Cemil.
So I say spread the love, spread the word, and vote for Tripawds everywhere!!
Go to the Calendar web site here.
If you click on 'Thumbnail Directory Page' you will see pictures of all the dogs. If you click on the picture you will go to their individual fund raising page.

I wanted to bump this topic for the day. Today is the last day to vote for our litte tripawd hero, Maggie. If you intend to vote and haven't, you have until midnight.
Good luck sweetheart, we want to see that sweet face on the calendar!

Ok, guys, just discovered (read back through the post) Cemil and Fortis are also in the running for the calendar this year. Not trying to play favorites, I really wish all our tripawds could be there to represent us. There may be others I don't know about – the point being, if you are into competitions and have the desire to donate, please vote for one of our tripawds. They will appreciate the vote and having one of us represented in the calendar is a great way to make others aware of our community.

Your spot on Shanna! Having one Tripawd from our community makes us all winners and the proceeds go to fight a disease we all despise.
Fortis knows when he's wooped 
He wants to donate his votes to either Maggie or Cemil. I'm not sure if they will let us do that. Please, if you were considering donating/voting for Fortis please send it Maggie's or Cemil's way.
The money goes to a great cause. I can't imagine a calendar of this kind not represented by a Tripawd from this community. It's a tight race from what I can tell.
Were pulling for you guys,
Fortis and Dad
It was a really tight race last year and Trouble was really fortunate to get in. I can't remember where she came in but it was past 10 and before 13. It is very sweet of you to concede your votes, Fortis. What a dude you are! These guys are SERIOUS about putting thier candidates over the top.
