The Giveaway: Two Bronze Level FDSA Gift Certificates

My husband, Martin Taves, died of a rare, aggressive form of Multiple Myeloma on Halloween 2017. A lovely person donated two Bronze level Fenzi Dog Sports Academy (FDSA) gift certificates (value $65 USD each) to be given away in March for Myeloma Awareness month. Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, a type of cell found in the bone marrow. To learn more about Multiple Myeloma, please browse Myeloma Canada’s website, particularly, their awesome Patient Handbook and symptoms chart (pay attention to back and rib pain!).

What You Need to Do

REBLOG this post and I will randomly select two winners. Our goal is to let folks know that Multiple Myeloma exists since it’s a cancer that few people have heard of. 

The Fine Print

Open internationally. This giveaway is not associated with Tumblr. Gift certificate must be used within one year (FDSA rule). Winners must agree to tell me which course they plan to enroll in (donor’s request).

Deadline to enter is Monday, 19 March 2018 at Noon (Alberta time).

Ravi's time to shine

[trashhuskytrashhuman]

I need breed help stat.

So, I have the choice between two litters of dogs of very different breeds. Both breeds I really like, and both have their pros and cons.

Border collie Vs Silken windhound.

Needs

Medium sized

Medium drive

Active enough for sports

Dog friendly

Intelligent

Biddable

Affectionate

Wants

Soft coat for tactile stim

Sports/trick prospect

Service prospect (dpt, momentum pull, item retrieval)

Relatively quiet inside

Eager to please/handler focused

Not Velcro, but follows me around/ keeps an eye on me.

I understand there is variation throughout both breeds, but I'd love to hear from owners.

What a beautiful dog! Why is your username "trashhuskytrashhuman"?

Thank you! Ravi is a rescue mutt of unknown origin. I quite literally got him from the trash at about a year old. He was severely fear aggressive, awful on a leash, intensely neophobic, and all around horrible to own. But I was committed, and now he's my absolute best friend, even though he still has many behavioral issues. As for the Trash Human™ part, I'm a bit of a biological and psychological mess, so it's just a way to poke fun at my own issues and relate them to Rav's.

Had to join in since canine behavior is what I do. Not too much was surprising but it is cool to see it mapped out.

I’m not gonna speak on the Mess that has happened recently, but I am gonna make something of myself clear:

I do not tolerate ableism. I do not tolerate transphobia. I do not tolerate racism, or homophobia, or hate speech of any kind.

Other dogblrs feel free to reblog, we are a self policing community and it’s our job to make it known that this is not okay.

[millenniallust4death]

Bosco has only loved one person during his life; he loved Martin fiercely and with total devotion. But I made Martin a ride or die promise just before he died that I would always care for his dog. I just started working with Bosco and we’re slowly figuring things out together. I’ll never be the skilled trainer that Martin was and I’m okay with that. The only thing that matters is that Bosco and I form a relationship. We both lost the most important person in our lives but we have to keep moving forward.

Dogblr giveaway!!!

Hey dogblrs,

I recently bought some cool stuff for a person I am no longer associating with. I don’t have a use for these toys anymore, so I’m going to give them away!! They are both BRAND NEW and still in the original packaging. They have never been used!

I’ll also include a bag of Zuke’s Turkey and Cranberry Trees treats and a few other surprises.

Here’s the deal. I’ll pay shipping to the continental United States. If you are outside of the US, you must be willing to pay for half of the shipping estimate.

To enter, simply like this post and reblog it to your dogblr account. You do not need to be following me.

Dogs don’t use homonyms.

If you use “drop” as a cue to lie down, you cannot ask your dog to “drop” a ball/frisbee/rope/etc.

Likewise, if you use “down” as a cue to lie down, you can’t use “down” to ask them not to jump on someone.

Not the most flattering photo of me or my partner but we forgot to take photos for the first month or two with Luca. Too busy marvelling in puppydom.

[sheepdog-and-fakegoldenretriever]

Puppy selfies are hard.

[sheepdog-and-fakegoldenretriever]

Also i can’t forget my 1st dog aka my sisters dog Bailey. I love her so much.

[campfirecanines]

i love all of these omfg

@emiliotheexplorer, yours is just beautiful?? like??? effin tattoo that m8 (i know that’s not really what you want but MAN it’s gorgeous in its simplicity you know)

i’m not cryin you’re cryin

look at asher’s weirdly long body under my arm there

[emiliotheexplorer]

First of all, I am cry over tiny Asher.

Second of all, Gunner reminds me of Lio who once fully stood over my friend’s lap because she was sitting next to me on the couch and he really needed me to pet him right that instance.

Third of all, I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN THINKING THAT ALL DAY. I think it could be a beautiful tattoo especially if done by that Toronto artist I linked you to a couple of weeks ago because she has a nice portfolio of single needle work. I think she could make this picture look like a painting. But I DONT KNOW. I’m torn. I really want a small tattoo and i don’t think I could make the above picture work for the size that I want. But I do really love that picture.

Lastly, this has been my favourite reblog thread I’ve done so far. Love all of your beautiful dog nerds.
