Survivors eBook $5.99

In 2009, I was following Kyla and her Happy Tails Books Website for several months. I always envisioned her in Florida or some warm place. I contacted her and found out that she was in my backyard! I was pleasantly surprised to have such a great “dog storyteller” and advocate for rescue dogs so close. I then met her at BlogPaws in September 2010 and was floored by her aerial dancing and beautiful spirit. I mean really…..how many people do aerial dancing? Not many and Kyla makes it look easy.

Kyla is combining  her aerial dance expertise with dog rescue stories in an amazing event this Saturday night (Feb. 12th) in Boulder at the Dairy Center for the Arts @ 7:30pm. You can buy tickets here.

I will also be giving away a FREE Survivors Book (retail $25) for the first 50 people through the door. Come early to this inspirational event!

1 in 4 dogs die of cancer. This is a sobering statistic. Fortunately, organizations like Colorado State University Animal Cancer Center are making a difference in the battle against cancer.

Dogs let you know they are sick in many different ways. Several of the dog’s owners in the Survivors – Your Best Friend’s Journey with Cancer book told me that they felt “abnormal swellings or bumps” on their dogs. Others said that their dog had “persistent lameness”. Be on the lookout for the warnings signs with your dog and check your dog regularly. Please read below for more warning signs of cancer.

Top 10 Warning Signs of Cancer in Pet Animals

#1 Abnormal swellings that persistent or continue to grow
#2 Sores that do not heal
#3 Weight loss
#4 Loss of appetite
#5 Bleeding or discharge from any body opening
#6 Offensive odor
#7 Difficulty eating or swallowing
#8 Hesitation to exercise or loss of stamina
#9 Persistent lameness
#10 Difficulty breathing, urinating, or defecating

Of course, please consult a veterinarian if you have more questions or concerns that your pet is showing one or more signs above.

Jaime Rowe is the author of Survivors – Your Best Friend’s Journey with Cancer and a Denver pet photographer. She believes that we can find a cure for this disease. Proceeds from her book are donated to the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation and Colorado State University.
She resides in Morrison, Colorado with her husband, two children, Labrador (Doc) Chihuahua (Sydney) and two cats (Cali and Bailey).

I love getting e-mails that give me “warm fuzzies”. This is an e-mail from Megan Allen,  Charity Dog AKA Executive Director Bow Wow Buddies Foundation – Camp Bow Wow® and Home Buddies by Camp Bow Wow®.

Helping dogs and people is why I got into this business. I never want to forget that and e-mails like this remind me why “I do what I do”.

“Thank You Jaime!
 
Also, a big thank you goes out to Jaime Rowe who created a beautiful book called “Survivors – Your Best Friend’s Journey with Cancer”using dog’s that have benefited from the work of the CSU Animal Cancer Center in Fort Collins.  Jaime has been tirelessly promoting the book around town and has sold 91 books in August and September at local events, her website, etc.
 
She is mailing the foundation a total of $1,246 from the sales of the book for the past two month and we could not be more honored to have her help in raising funds for this very important part of the Foundation’s Mission.  Each book is sold for $25.00 and she then provides us with about $10 for each book to help fund our program.  She also held a photo contest at the K-9’s Against Cancer Race that raised $344, the lucky dog that won will get the front cover of Mile High Dog Magazine!
 
Thank you so much Jaime, we are so lucky to have you representing The Bow Wow Buddies Foundation.”

Thank you Megan, Heidi and Melissa was letting me be part of fundraising for the Bow Wow Buddies Foundation!

Please donate and help a dog rescue today. It is a great “warm fuzzy” feeling that you will not forget.
