We were recently approached by Josh D’Alessio at Quio.me about incorporating our custom pet art in a very cool, clever eCard program. It’s not the typical, convoluted online eCard setup where you have to go online, register, log in, configure your card, enter the email, send it out and then your card’s recipient has to jump 
thorough similar hoops to pick up the card. With Quio (pronounced “Key-oh”) Digital eCards there’s a simple alternative to all this clicking and registering and logging in. Josh has created a program you just download directly onto your desktop so it’s just sitting there ready to go at any time like your own personal stationery. You can send eCards straight from you to your friends’ and family’s inbox with no middle man.
So when Josh asked if we would like to work with him we were flattered and of course and agreed. But then we asked if there was some way we could use the card program to help raise funds for animal cancer research. Many of you know we lost our beautiful Kylie to cancer and our very close friend lost her adorable boy, Trouble, to cancer around the same time. So we are always looking for ways to honor them. Josh was totally agreeable to the idea. We hope you’ll find it a worthy cause too!
Here’s how it works:
The program is super simple and FREE to download. Just click here: http://quio.me/download/papCards.exe
You get to check it all out and send two cards for FREE!
If you decide you love it, just click on the “buy it” option. Then for a very reasonable $20, 100% of our portion of the proceeds ($10) will go to Colorado State University’s Animal Cancer Center (ACC) to support their research and treatment center.
If for some reason you don’t love it, it’s just as easy to uninstall it so no worries there. But we hope in that case you’ll forward it to others who might really enjoy it. Oh, one limitation, the program is not Mac-friendly. But if you are Mac, you can still help out by passing this along to all your PC friends. And if you are PC you can now send a cute, colorful card to all the animal lovers in your life for any occasion!
Thank you so much for your help and support for this cause!

CSU’s Animal Cancer Center’s mission “is to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer in pet animals, translating our research and knowledge to also benefit people with cancer.” In their pursuit of this mission, every penny counts! Visit them at www.csuanimalcancercenter.org.
What a clever idea, and a good cause at that! Losing pets to cancer is such a difficult thing, and giving to research is a wonderful idea.
