Livestrong Day 2011

Hey, Sam here. Today we are here to honor those who have fought or are fighting cancer. Over the years we have known many who have been touched by this disease, whether human or furry. Some have won. Some have put up a long, hard fight but lost the battle.

We post our blog header here because it will be replaced in a few days with the autumn header, but we don't want to forget why we created it.  Cancer doesn't just affect the life of the patient, but family and friends also.

Zoolatry's Poppy Vic and Claudette of The Hudson Furkids are two humans we know are currently undergoing cancer treatment.

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.

We want to thank Milo & Alfie, Life from a Cat's Perspective, and Zoolatry for their time and patience in organizing cat and dog posts and this lovely slideshow for today.


(To turn on the music, move your cursor over the bottom of the slideshow, then click on the sound button, the one with the red slash through it.)

If you want to post the slide show, click on the link above. It is extra large so you might want to change the size to fit your blog post. We changed the width to 440 and the height to 400. Be sure to change it in both (2) places in the code.

To view the slideshow full screen, press the icon in the lower right corner and then press the ESC key (upper left on your keyboard) to return to your regular screen.

And don't forget the "official" furry blog We Livestrong Today.
