The Smiling Blue Skies Cancer Fund: Print Resources

A journey with your loved one's cancer is sometimes long . . . often short, but the time with our animal companions is never enough. We hope that by sharing our resources with you, we can help make your climb up the mountain even a little bit easier, and perhaps give you more precious moments to hug your pet, instead of pouring through books, staring at a computer screen, and banging on every door, looking for anything and everything to help your beloved companion.

Special Contest for Young Cancer Bridge Kids

Inspired by the September 2002 publication of Jasper's Day, a wonderfully poignant new children's book, about euthanasia and loss, written by Marjorie Blain Parker, and illustrated by Canadian artist, Janet Wilson, The Land of Pure Gold (www.landofpuregold.com), held a very special contest for Young Cancer Bridge Kids.
While Jasper, the Golden depicted in Marjorie's book, succumbed to cancer at a senior age, there are many young Goldens, like my beautiful Blues, who are being diagnosed with cancer, at a very young age. 'Marjorie Blain Parker's tender story, is filled with smiles, tears, and the joy of special memories. Janet Wilson's gentle pastels, capture the depth of love, shared by a boy and his dog. Together, they speak of acceptance, remembrance, and the importance of cherishing life's every moment.' (from the inside cover of Jasper's Day).
