Guess I thought of the voting thing becuase that was the simple thing lol.... But the idea of having dogs that are born that month competing over the spot is a good one. And since here are dogs that have no known b-day, all the rescues and so on, maybe have them enter for the day when their mom and dad got them home or whatever day they have that is that special dogs "day" and maybe to follow the seasons, the dogs who enter for say jan and dec, it would be fun to see them in either a wintery scenery, or if we live where there is no winter lol.... maybe in a chirstamsy setting, or just an indoor snuggly kinda warm feel to it. the summer ones out in the sunny (or rainy) weather, sniffing flowers or just being cute as they are all so good at. And hmmm I realize that there probably has to be some kind of limit for how many entries per dog, since we have so many dogs here, would two entries per dog be too little?
The company I have no idea, I will browse around a little though, I know of a company called "vista print" where I get cards and return lables, mind you I have no idea if they make calendars. The price well hopefully where every we turn they will be able to work with us, and give a good price since it is not only one or two calendars, and the proceeds are going to some kind of rescue or help org. I am sure we could get them to cooperate with us, and whatever the price "out" for them, well I have seen other calendars, you know the type where you can send in your pics of your children and make a calendar, they are rather expensive, the last dog calendar I bought was I think around $13, and that of course was one of the mass produced ones. I think most people here would be willing to pay just to support a good cause and to see our new friends on a calendar, so whatever a company would charge, hopefully be able to get about 75% proceed. I guess we have another question too, how to decide where the proceed would go. Would that be a voting too??
Okay hehe now I am getting ahead of myself, but I have seen so much on the local channels on tv, about people who come up with ideas how to raise money for different things. So now I can picturing on tv and in newspapers "Big Paws Only, a web forum for large dogs, raising money for......" This site would get a ton of new members, and whatever we decide to donate the money to would also get plenty of attention, and if it comes to that, I am dead certain that we would sell calendars to a whole lot more people than just us here, after all we have all seen the dog calendars that are out there, and hey..... ours would be just soooo much cuter. Ohhh and since I already havnt gone on forever
I have an idea for the cover..... that wonderful picture of daddy and puppy from kildeskennel.
