Funny about Feline & Canine Friends

If you are reading this blog, you are either family, friends or someone who loves pets and will get a great giggle out of this. My dear friend Vicki sent it to me today.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE PETS, THIS IS A TRUE STORY.
FOR THOSE THAT DON'T, IT IS A TRUE STORY.

The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.

Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes on the floor with the paw prints are yours and contain your food The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate does not mean that it is suddenly your food, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the top of the stairs is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It Is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space that you are taking up, is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required.

The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:

(1) They live here. You don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-nature.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.

Remember, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
(1) eat less,

(2) don't ask for money all the time,
(3) are easier to train,
(4) normally come when called,
(5) never ask to drive the car,
(6) don't hang out with drug-using people;
(7) don't smoke or drink,
(8) don't want to wear your clothes,
(9) don't have to buy the latest fashions,
(10) don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
(11) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children.....(*_*)

DONATE ITEMS!!!!

Hi we are not only looking for cash donations but also donated items that we can raffle or auction off at one of our events. Please contact me and let me know if you or someone would be willing to do this for Stymie Canine Cancer Foundation.

We appreciate all the people who are keeping up to date with the blog. I know I haven't posted anything about Stymie lately. Stymie is doing great and getting back to his normal self. The lymphnodes are no longer a size 5 but down to minimal. This is where we want to keep them otherwise it causes Stymie not to be able to eat and forces him to have to stay the night at the vet. We want as much time with him as we can at this time.

We are looking at getting a booth at the Avon, Revlon and several other events cross the country. We are extremely excited about this and feel it is the best way to get our name out there and get donations.

We are open to any suggestions or ideas so keep those coming as well.

DONATE NOW!!!!

We are giving out free PawBenders from Good Time Burgers for the first 25 people who send in donations. You can donate any amount and you will receive your coupon in the mail. Please remember we are a Non-Profit Organization so all funds will go to a family in need.

Thank you for your support.

SCCF Goals

Our goal is to hold fundraisers and other functions (online, fliers, mailers, etc… ) to raise funds for people who cannot afford the cost of cancer therapy for their pet so they can sustain the quality life of their canine.

Our goal is to help use the money we have raised toward new research studies on canine cancer.

Our goal is to raise awareness on how important it is to get pet insurance to help with unexpected costs just like for humans.

Our goal is to team up with veterinary offices to help provide lower cost for those who come for help through us.

You can make a difference

If you are able to donate any amount even $5 dollars will help a family in need. All people who donate will receive a photo of the family that they are helping. Photos will be sent once we reach our goal amount to start giving out money to those in need. We will also give you a link to a blog for you to follow the families progress of their pet. We feel this is important so you can see the difference you have made by your contribution.

If you are unable to use PayPal you can mail your payment as well to:
Stymie Canine Cancer Foundation
PO Box 461805
Aurora, CO 80046

Thank you all for talking about the foundation and spreading the word. That donation of your time to help inform people of our foundation is just as important.

Updating Stymie Canine Cancer Foundation

Stymie had his 2nd dose of chemotherapy and he is slightly tired from it. We are hoping this new dose will work just as well as the last one. I am busy working on foundation information and trying to get more donations. We are really working towards becoming tax-exempt as most of the large companies require us to be 501(c)(3) before they will give us grants or donations.

Our goal is to hit $50K for the year so we can give out support to at least 10 families. Please keep referring people to our site to donate even if you are unable to. The faster money we get money in the faster we can loan it out to people in need. I will try and write more later today if not today for sure tomorrow.

Cytology Report

I am not sure if I spelled Cytology correct or not but the vet called with the update from the pathology that was sent out on Stymie. It is said to say he does have T-Cell Lymphoma and not B-Cell Lymphoma. The reason it is sad is because they do not stay in remission as long as B-cell patients. This means to us that Stymie has a life expectancy of only 6months to 1 year. Without Chemothearpy there is no chance his life expectancy would be as long. Please donate to our foundation as chemo does prolong a persons pets life and everyone should be allowed to have those few extra months to spend with their pet. It also improves the quality of life of the pet.
