Livestrong......
L;IVESTRONG TODAY
We at Team Beaglebratz are
taking a bit of a break already from
DIVA Shasta's birthday month
in memory of, to pay tribute to and
in honor of
all those loved ones and
both friends and furrends
who have
battled cancer, are battling cancer and
those who have fought the good fight and
have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.
Most recently of course,
my sister lost a good furrend-
her McKailie
We have lost both our mom (colon cancer)
and our dad (lung cancer).
We have lost relatives to cancer.
We have lost friends to cancer -
a really good friend of ours beat her cancer only
to lose her battle due to complications
from aggressive cancer treatment-
Christine you were way too young
and we miss you.
I have lost co-workers and
have 1 co-worker who is presently
cancer free.
A therapy dog group member,
who is also a co-worker just found out
her dog Riley has
osteogenic sarcoma.
DIVA Shasta's boyfurrend here in Blogville,
and his mom Teresa
have both battled cancer-
Seamus just recently for the second time-
both are doing very well.
It is way past time for
more happy endings like theirs
and less endings with the cancer winning.
We pray for all
~Kim, Shiloh'n Shasta~
We would like to thank
Ann, Maggy and Zoey from
for all the wonderful
Livestrong art.
Ann just lost her husband
Poppy Vic to cancer a little over a week ago.

What Cancer Cannot Do . . .
It cannot invade the soul
suppress memories
kill friendship
destroy peace
conquer the spirit
shatter hope
cripple love
corrode faith
steal eternal life

Today, October 2, Livestrong is hosting the wearing of the yellow to raise awarness of the many that live with cancer. This is a terrible disease that affects millions of people world-wide. Each of us probably know of someone fighting cancer now, has lost the fight or within the next couple of years will be affected by someone you know facing the fight of their life. Wear the yellow today to help raise awareness and honor all that have had to deal with cancer.

Welcome to LiveStrong 2012
Dear Supporters,
Last year we initiated a LiveStrong event paw in paw with Zoolatry on the CB which snowballed, and many of you joined us by going yellow on your blogs to support LiveStrong Day on October 2nd 2010 and again on October 2nd 2011. It was a wonderful day and we cannot thank you, our supporters, enough.
Below: Milo, the Zoolatry girls, and Alfie working paw in paw to support LiveStrong in 2010!
Well October 2nd 2012 is LiveStrong Day again ~ and we would like to stage another CB event to show our continuing solidarity and support for ALL our friends who are still currently battling cancer and all the other 28 million cancer survivors, and their families, worldwide. We would also like to honour the humans and pets who have lost their lives to this horrible disease ~ including many of our beloved furry friends from the CB.
Would you join us and go YELLOW again?
All you have to do to take part is:
- Put a predominately YELLOW image on your blog and FB page (if you have one) on October 2nd 2012
- Or turn the blog background YELLOW on that day
- Or post about those members of your family, or friends, (human or furries) whom you wish to honour who have lost their lives to cancer, or who are currently fighting the disease, or who are survivors (You may want to re-cycle last year's post ~ or prepare a new one)
- Or do any cancer related post
- Or just post a fun pic of yourself playing with something YELLOW!
THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for joining in, and supporting us for LIVESTRONG past.
We hope you will all join us in supporting LiveStrong Day 2012!
We believe in the Power of the Purr.

Dear Friends,
A few words from the Zoolatry Girls:
to all bloggers, those who blog lovingly of their cats and dogs,
but others who have a story to tell ~ you are invited and encouraged to post here
with us, anytime on or before October 2, 2012 and of course,
post to your own blog on the event date.
You may wish to re-post from last year [so many of you had such
amazing postings, we think revisiting them would be wonderful]
or post new if you prefer.

Milo and Alfie: LiveStrong Day 2011 posts start here ...
Hello friends!
Milo & Alfie and Jan & Peter support the Lance Armstrong Foundation LiveStrong in helping to raise awareness about this terrible disease, cancer.
- About 12 million people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer each year. That figure is expected to reach 27 million by 2030
- The cost of new cancer cases in humans is already estimated to be about £185bn ($286bn) a year
- According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Cancer accounts for almost half of the deaths of pets over 10 years of age, and early diagnosis is a key to successful treatment.
- Cancer also occurs in wild animals. Some well documented examples of cancer in wild animals include facial tumors in Tasmanian devils, fibropapillomatosis in sea turtles, and genital carcinoma in sea lions.
- Remember: Treatment Plans and Cures that are found for cancer in humans, benefit animals in the long term too as the knowledge cascades ~ and that is VERY impawtant to us.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation unites, inspires and empowers people affected by cancer.
Find them here: http://www.livestrong.org/
This post is dedicated to all the beloved family and dear friends (both fur and human) that we have lost over the years to this terrible disease ~ and to those still valiantly fighting cancer. We love you all.
We PURR they find a cure one day ...
Love Milo and Alfie xx

We have sometimes felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of people we are aware of who are suffering with some form of cancer. And each year we lose a large number of blogging furry friends to lymphoma or another type of this illness.
We post this in memory of all those we have lost and in honor of all those currently fighting to win.
Today we join our pals throughout the blogosphere who are participating in LiveStrong Day. Our Pals Milo and Alfie and the Zoolatry girls first posted about this day and you can read more about it HERE. We've seen way too much cancer over the last year and we are purring and praying for a world without cancer.
We celebrate Auntie El who has been through a rough time in the last year. We know she still suffers from the effects of her chemo and we hope that things improve a lot soon. Her scans have been good and she goes for another PET scan in October. We're purring and praying for her continued improvement. Auntie El LivesStrong every day!
On September 21, 2010 we lost our sweet sisfur Sniffie to cancer. We miss her very much and hope that she and our pal Sweet Praline and Little Beignet (who also went to the Bridge because of cancer) are having a good time together at the Bridge.
Eric and Flynn LIVESTRONG.
This time last year along with many others wedid our first ever LIVESTRONG post. We would like to thank Milo and Alfie, and Ann of Zoolatry for all the work they put into it to enable us to take part again.
It gives us the time to stop and remember all our friends who lost their brave battle and have gone to The Rainbow Bridge. We also are thinking of those who are still fighting against cancer and send our purrs to all those affected to give them the strength to win through. Then there are those who have won against all the odds, the cancer survivors. We all know of many of our friends who were taken by the evil C and we are purring for all the furries, be they cat, dog, bunny or guinea pig and of course all those not mentioned.
Last year we put up this graphic in memory of our mum's mum and dad. Little did we know then that our mum would also be a cancer survivor. She first noticed something was wrong at the beginning of the year and made an appointment to see her doctor. She could have seen a practice doctor the next day but she thought it was just "Women's Troubles" so when told she couldn't get an appointment with her own doctor for a month , she wasn't worried. From when she saw her doctor, she saw the gynaecologist, had a biopsy, was diagnosed with cancer and had her operation all within two months. She was lucky, it was caught early and had not had chance to spread. She still has to go for check ups every three months, but that is good because if it does return it will be found right away.So what we want to say is if any of your family think something is not right, DON'T IGNORE IT!! DON'T BE EMBARRASSED!! Go and get checked without any delay.
We are sending our purrs to all our friends who have family or friends who are bravely battling the disease. With all our support we can help them beat it.
We Livestrong and pay tribute to family and friends loved, survived and lost ...
Mum a survivor for many years, Grandad who lost his fight, nephew Steven who lost his fight at 5 years old. Many family members. Friend Jan who is a survivor, Friend Vic who is fighting now. Many fur friends who are fighting now or have lost the fight far too early. Our dear friend Jackie who very recently fought the fight and WON.. We pay tribute to all and we LIVESTRONG...
Thank you to Ann ( Zoolatry) and to Jan ( Milo and Alfie )for once again organising this great event to bring us all together and unite.. GJ
