BARK & FITZ
Come out to see my new collection of images featuring the dogs of Ottawa's Bark & Fitz at their location in Westboro.

One of Ottawa's favorite stores to find a unqiue gift for the discerning dog owner.

You can also pick up your 2 yr perPETual calendar, a perfect stocking stuffer fit as well as supporting PAWS for Charity at the same time.

Keep posted for information on my meet the artist day at Bark & Fitz in the coming year, a chance to come and say hello and see some of the dog books that I have published over the past couple of years.

Cheers.

perPETual calendar ®

Time to order the perPETual calendar for stuffing those stockings. They are available for ordering off of my web site under the buy link. It is a 2 year calendar featuring one year of greyhound photography and one year featuring all breed photos.

The calendar is perpetual and can be used forever! No year or day of the week is attached.

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the Pet Lover's Expo and stopping by the booth. Although the weather was not exactly great, Merrickville is still a beautiful town to visit for the day! All of you were the first to grab the new brochure featured here. The cover image is of Scooter, the proud owner of Gloria. I wanted to point out a great pet friendly place to stay! Only a couple of hours away from Ottawa is the pet friendly cottage resort that you can bring your loyal canine with you! Check out www.lakeedge.com.

And....you need to check out this artist! Lee-Anne Healey's Carvings in Wood! www.healeycarvings.bravehost.com

May 6th
B.A.R.K. Woofs and Wags walkathon
So everyone has to come out this event! A great day at the arboretum raising money for an awesome organization and cause that helps a ton of dogs! The day includes a free barbeque and vendors that have provided their services for free. In fact the line was large for photographs that I have enlisted a great photography friend of mine Brigitte Bouvier.

Last year B.A.R.K. spent close to $175,000 in vet bills. Any money raised during their largest fundraising event of the year will go towards a great cause. I have been working with B.A.R.K. for close to 6 years and I have been inspired and propelled to action by the awesome conditions that Sharon and Peter go into to rescue these dogs. If there was a day that was worth a walk in the park, it is this day. Plus the trees are always blooming in the park! It is a beautiful day. Everyone do the non-rain dance please! So stop by, grab the new brochure, get your photo done....but most of all enjoy raising money for an awesome group!

Cheers
Sue

I am excited to introduce a calendar that I am designing and having printed. The Calendar will be for sale through my web site www.photobysuebird.com. The calendar will feature one year on all breeds and a second year dedicated to my Greyhound photography. The calendar will feature many photos captured over the year of 2006. The calendar will help in many of my fundraising events and will be for sale raising funds for breast cancer research with the PAWS for Charity team.

I'll update you when they will be available.

PAWS for Charity

I am proud to be a part of the group called PAWS for Charity, where myself and three very talented women have come together to help raise funds for breast cancer research. We made a great first time donation to the Canadian Cancer Society for $2200, raising the money in only a short couple of months. This is only the beginning of our effort bringing dogs and our products together to help raise money for very important issues. We plan to continue our fundraising and will launch our 2007 campaign ideas soon!
