Angel Greta's 6th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Button Giveaway

Hi Friends - Angel Greta here!

In 2013 Mom & I had a special button giveaway for

 Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It was such a great success we wanted to do it again

Despite my unexpected departure for the Rainbow Bridge in 2014
we have continued our special giveaway
 because I let Mom know that I am always here 

- in her heart - 

and we would still do this together

You see 
my Mom is celebrating 7 years as a Breast Cancer Survivor

 I came into Mom's life just a few months 
after she completed her radiation treatments

 and I was an important part of her overall recovery. 

Now each October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
I always like to share 
my story of .....

How I Became Mom's "Pink" Dog

by Angel Greta

Mom has NEVER liked the color PINK

her favorite colors are green and purple

but...

 you may have noticed that I

wore a lot of PINK

Seven years ago something happened

 

After having her yearly check up

Mom was told she needed a biopsy

Two days before the start of

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Mom was told she had breast cancer

Then not only did she not like PINK

she HATED PINK

Trying to come to terms with the Big C diagnoses

and PINK was in her face everywhere she went.

Surgery was scheduled and followed soon after

 by 6 weeks of radiation treatments

It was then that Mom began to realize

just how lucky she was

 She does her wellness check ups every year

 so her cancer was caught early

 She has a family that loves her and needs her
and she will be here for them
for a long time to come

  Mom realized that during

 Breast Cancer Awareness Month

she can let people know that

early detection saves lives 

so she decided

 to embrace the color "PINK"

 and that, my friends

 is how I became Mom's "Pink" dog.

************

Dear Furiends!

 Please make sure your loved ones educate themselves about the risks of breast cancer and the importance of mammograms if they are over 40, earlier if there is a history of breast cancer in the family.

Early detection can make such a difference! 

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

we are once again having a little giveaway!

From the Café Press Shop of

Screaming K9 (Gracie the Agility Pug)

we have

 Pug w/pink ribbon mini buttons  

(1” diameter) to send out to our friends

They look great on a blouse, lapel,

 or pinned on a hat (that’s where Mom’s human son wore his).

Maybe you want to show support for someone close to you that is battling this disease,honor a loved one 
or just want to help spread awareness. 

Maybe your peep is a survivor like our MOM.

  We need our peeps to take care of themselves

so they can take care of us!

Those of you that received a button in the past, 

we hope you are wearing it proudly!
