was on the 14th. Did you find anything? I hope you recorded anything note worthy in your CYD journal. IF you found a lump or a bump NOW is the time to take action.

Any lump that is one centimeter should be watched AND aspirated. Not every lump is a tumor and not every tumor is malignant, but all of them are worth checking out. when fighting most issues but especially .

If you found something, call your vet today, don't delay. If you missed Check Your Dog day or need more information on how to do it or what you are looking for please visit our website:

Duncan, the neighborhood watch dog. He would let us know when the neighbors came home so we could go enjoy an evening on the driveway with them. He would also alert us to all the cats passing by. Once he alerted to a coyote who was running across the front yard with a chicken. I miss my boy, he was only 6 when he left us. took him too soon.

If you need help coping with the loss of your dog, we have resources. Discover them here:

It's ! For this day, we thought it would be great to post our mission statement. Remember charities rely on supporters to help reach their funding goals, so remember to !

Mission = Education, Outreach & Research

The National Canine Cancer Foundation is a dog charity that strives to eliminate cancer as a major health problem in dogs through education, outreach, and research. We save lives through prevention, more accurate and cost-effective diagnostic methods as well as better treatments which will diminish the number of dogs who are suffering from cancer.

Education
One out of every three dogs will get cancer. Because of this startling fact, this dog charity was founded to help educate and raise awareness. For every concerned dog owner, we have created one of the most comprehensive canine cancer libraries including the ten early warning signs of cancer in your pet.

Outreach
Every event that the National Canine Cancer Foundation puts on, every page of our website, and every product and email we send out is done to raise awareness of canine cancer. The National Canine Cancer Foundation’s goal is to save dogs’ lives, educate and reach all dog owners, and find new treatments and a cure for canine cancer.

Research
A well-respected dog charity, the National Canine Cancer Foundation helps fund universities that are performing cutting-edge research toward prevention, finding cures, better treatments, more accurate cost-effective diagnostic methods in dealing with cancer, and diminishing dogs suffering from cancer.

Together, We are the Cure

A big THANK YOU to Loretta for being a CORE Member in honor of Darby.

Here are her words about Darby and why she is a monthly donor:
"Our Shiba Inu, Darby, had lymphoma and passed away after staying in remission for almost 2 years after diagnosis and treatments. I was generally doing just year end donations and a few in between so doing the monthly ones just made it easier instead of trying to always remember to give something during the year.

Thank you all for running a wonderful organization!"

Would you join Loretta in becoming a monthly donor because you can make a big impact in the world of canine cancer?

Every day is filled with memories of those special dogs that have made the big trip to the Rainbow Bridge. Today, we remember them all together. Today, we share our favorite memories. Today, is their day.

"My favorite memory of Briggs (Great Dane), it's hard to pick just one but I choose the reason behind why I called him my "piggy in a blankie." When he was a puppy, we'd make a pallet on the floor out of blankets and watch movies. Briggs let me wrap him in a blanket while he did the cute "upside down" pose and all you could see was his head sticking out of the blanket. I swear he smiled, and that nickname stuck like glue." (1/28/16 - 8/9/24) - Kelly Fails

Is there something you need to ask about canine cancer? A question that maybe you forgot to ask at your appointment, or something that you are mulling over and don't quite understand the full picture? Then Ask the Dr.!

Dr. Michael Kent is board certified in both medical and radiation oncology. He is currently the Professor of Radiation Oncology in the Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences at University of California Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine.

Please understand that he can not diagnose or treat your dog, since he is not seeing your dog in person.

Zuri turning 10 allows him to check off the third thing on his bucket list - Making it to double digits! Zuri belongs to our long time CORE Members James and Sara M.

Unfortunately, Zuri has Hemangiosarcoma. But the good news is that it was caught early enough for surgery and chemo. Zuri is on round 5 of chemo and his dog dad Jim told me that "He was off his food for a few days, which is normal, but today he seems back to his usual self. Later today we will take him Dairy Queen for his birthday treat!"

Zuri was able to accomplish two other items on his bucket list. Zuri loves to play agility, so , first item was to get to CPE Nationals. Second was to get his C-ATCH 5 title. Way to Go Zuri!!!

We are cheering for you to for as long as you can! Zuri's story is certainly proof that when fighting cancer in dogs.

Gary and I started the National Canine Cancer Foundation after we lost his heart dog Bailey to Hemangiosarcoma. We were overwhelmed, lost, shocked and sad, to put it mildly. Gary just knew he needed to do something because there was not enough information out there to make sense of what had just happened. Not many in our dog friend circle had been hit with this awful disease. Then the unthinkable happened - as we started down this road to fund research, raise awareness and outreach - we continued to lost a golden a year for 4 years. Not one of them made it to ten. We are so grateful to be here as part of the cure. So grateful we have met so many wonderful people and experienced their dogs without ever being able to pet them. Grateful to have helped them on one of the hardest road they have ever had to travel. We really mean - Together, We Are The Cure. It's #PetCancerAwareness month, spread the word that cancer is an issue in dogs, make an impact.

I just talked to Robert P, who had a 4 1/2 year Osteosarcoma survivor and this is what he said: "It [Cancer] is definitely no longer an automatic death sentence as long as it is caught early and with all of the advancements in treatments too, survival is more possible and allows families more time with their fur babies."

Goldens having a snow day!

I loved watching these two enjoy the unlikely snow that fell. This qualifies as a #ThrowbackThursday since it was back around 2010. I miss these two, they were inseparable. I recall the snow being fun for the few days it lasted but really I have no idea how people up North do this all the time! #snowday #goodoldays #wearethecure
