What do you guys think??

Please don't move this as I'll be posting pics of Ophie, but these are my cancer awareness prototypes.
I've been in contact with someone who works for a canine cancer research company, and I'm waiting to hear back from her. So, I cannot list them until I have heard back from her and find out if her company would be interested in 20% of the sales from each collar, or if they aren't and I need to find another organization to donate to.
From what I've read, Lime green is the color for lymphoma awareness, and others tell me that green is the color for canine cancer awareness.
The lime green collar is for Ophie, and the cognac collar with darker green stones is for a pit bull that is currently going through chemo for lymphoma. His name is Sepp.

those are stunning! I think it's a great idea--and what a great way to honor Ella!

 

[Chewbecca]

Thanks!
It WILL be called "For Ella".

As this is solely formed from Ella's lymphoma, but hopefully some company out there will be able to use the money from sales to put it towards finding a cure and/or helping people become more educated and aware of this awful disease.

I am so incredibly MAD at cancer for taking Ella.
And I would like to help contribute to finding a cure for it so that less people have to have their heart dogs taken from them because of this terrible disease.

What beautiful collars! Are they for sale yet? I've been looking into a leather collar for Monday, and the cognac one with the dark green stones would look lovely on her. I'd love to do one tiny little thing for Ella's memory.

Lymphoma is horrible. I survived it; many do not. And it's even more virulent in dogs than in people. Your desire to honor Ella by contributing to the cure is a real tribute to a one-of-a-kind, beloved pet.

Wow, both are beautiful! So nice, and great idea in mind!

 

[Izzy's Valkyrie]

Ahhh I love the top one *drools*

 

[skittledoo]

I think that is a FANTASTIC idea and it gave me the chills... keep us updated on what they say and if you get the go ahead I will definitely be making a purchase to support the cause. BEAUTIFUL collars btw

 

[filarotten]

That is a fabulous idea. Love it, and I love the collars.

I think they are beautiful collars! I almost want to get myself a big dog just so I can buy one! LOL.

Makes me want to work more hours so I can get one for Izzy! Or just get one for myself and keep it in a pretty box because it's just so gorgeous.

Thanks, guys.

The conchos are 1", so the narrowest collar we could do is 1".
But Ophie is 25 lbs. and 1" is perfect on her.

 

[PlottMom]

oh geez you made me cry. now I need to see if I can justify buying my 20,000th collar... what a wonderful way to honor such a special, special soul of a dog.

Thanks.

They aren't for sale just yet.
I have to hear back from the woman as to whether or not her company would be interested.

Do you all think I should offer pink stones, too?
We now have pink suede lining.

 

[crazy_paws]

Those are beautiful! I seriously want a "collar" dog, too. Maybe a greyhound or a whippet.....lol.

 

[Southpaw]

Those are lovely.

I don't have experience with lymphoma specifically, but losing a dog to cancer SUCKS... that is a great idea you have there.

Now I just need a 2nd job so I can buy more collars!

 

[Toller_08]

I think it's a wonderful idea! You make such beautiful collars, and these are no exception. I hate cancer... it's such a horrific disease. I wish you all the best and hope that the organization is willing to partner with you.

 

[puppydog]

You are such a good person! They are lovely, I am sure Mizz Ella would approve.

 

[Barb04]

Those collars are gorgeous. I was hoping you'd do something like this.

 

[AgilityPup]

Very beautiful. Don't really have a "collar dog" or else we'd buy one in memory of Sasha, who died because of bone cancer. It's a terrible thing, it really is. Such a beautiful way for you to keep the memory of Ella a live, even for those who didn't know you.

 

[PWCorgi]

Gorgeous collars. I would definitely be interested in buying one in the future when I can justify another collar for Frodo.
