I would like to ask you to grab your Dogs and help my family celebrate a Holiday which falls on National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day. I don’t know about you but our Dog Angel ended up with Cancer and if the truth was told I believe Sandy might have had Cancer as well.
To prevent this from happening to Bear or Pheobie I want to make sure my family is prepared and knows what to look for and how to help our Puppies if it happens again. If your #Homeschooling your children you could study Canine Lymphoma. Take your children take to a Vet for a #Homeschool Field Tip to learn more about there responsibilities.

Why National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day is Important
Dogs love us unconditionally and we love our Dogs, and there is nothing we wouldn’t do for our Dogs. But, amazingly, the love we feel for them pales in comparison to how our Dogs feel about us. We must make sure that we are worthy of our Dogs love.
Dogs are part of the family and they’re not just our pets. In fact, many of us don’t even like to call Dogs pets. Our Dogs are members of the family, and as such, deserve all the love and attention we can give them.
Making sure our Dogs are healthy reminds us to do the same for ourselves and the rest of our families. Regular check-ups and easy-to-do, in-home examinations make for a happy, healthy life.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
