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
My unexpected departure for the Rainbow Bridge did not stop us from doing it in 2014 because I let Mom know that I am always here
- in her heart -
and we will still do this together
So here we are again in 2015
and my Mom is celebrating 4 yrs as a Breast Cancer Survivor.

I came into Mom's life just a few months
after she completed her radiation treatments
after she completed her radiation treatments
and I was an important part of her overall recovery.
so once again we want to share with you the 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
you may have noticed that I
wore a lot of PINK
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
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
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,
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!
