Sylvia's Story . . . Breast
Cancer Awareness is a campaign near and dear to our hearts. In January of
2005 the owner of this web site was diagnosed with breast cancer, stage 2.
This was the third type of cancer Sylvia had faced having had uterine cancer
and skin cancer within the past 15 years or so. But Breast Cancer would
prove to be her fiercest and most devastating battle to come. After three
surgeries and 12 weeks of intensive chemo she was pronounced cancer free and
has been fortunate to stay cancer free for the past 4 years. She is now in
her fifth and final year of taking anti-cancer drugs to help
prevent a relapse even though she had two mastectomies within a
year.
In October of 2008 Sylvia walked in
the largest 5K walk/run in the United States sponsored by the Susan
G. Komen Foundation in Miami, FL. There were 15,000 entries in the
Miami/Ft. Lauderdale race and 700 Survivors who were championed as true warriors in the
battle against breast cancer. In her own words Sylvia said,
"I have never been so proud as when I finished the race and
felt a very special bond with thousands of people who participated to
raise money to help find a cure. It is something I will never forget
and I am so glad I was able to fly to Miami, Florida and walk beside
my oldest daughter in 91° heat and humidity and finish the race.
Once again I had accomplished something that I would have thought
impossible five years ago."

ORDER A CENTER
D-RING ADDED TO ANY OF OUR RHINESTONE DOG COLLARS
If you would like
the D ring in the center of the
dog collar, there is an additional
$4.95 charge, so please add to
cart. You can hook your leash
in the center.
There will still be a D ring by
the buckle where you can hang
charms. THIS ITEM IS FOR A CENTER D RING
ONLY. THE COLLAR IS NOT INCLUDED.
PLEASE MEASURE CAREFULLY. HANDMADE COLLARS ARE NOT RETURNABLE DUE TO SIZE.
DO NOT GO BY YOUR DOG'S COLLAR HE IS WEARING NOW. PLEASE FOLLOW OUR
GUIDELINES FOR MEASURING.
To
measure your dog for a Martingale Collar, use a soft tape measure or a piece of
string and take the measurements at point
A,
B, and
C in the drawing
below. Choose the size that fits within this range to ensure that your
collar fits perfectly.
For Sight Hounds, the measurement at points
A
and B
may be the same or very similar, this is because their heads are often the same
size or smaller than their necks. For non-Sight Hounds, these measurements
will be different and you will need to choose a collar size that is large enough
to slip over the head (point A) but not too large to fit correctly at point
B.
In other words, choose the smallest size that will still fit
your dog. If your dog has a 15 inch neck, choose the Medium, which is
adjustable from 13-18 inches rather than the Large, which is adjustable from
15-20 inches.

SIZING CHART FOR OUR RHINESTONE DOG COLLAR COLLECTIONS
Please Note:
There is a 20% restocking fee
on collars returned for size errors. Our vendor has an
entire shelf full of returned collars
from people who didn't measure their
pet's neck. This ties up a huge amount
of inventory. If you don't have a cloth
tape measure, you can go to Wal-Mart or
any variety store and find one in the
craft section. Or take a string, measure
and then measure the string.
Sizes are gauged by the dog's
ACTUAL neck size, NOT collar size. Please
note: Measure the neck size by snuggly
wrapping a tape measure around the
neck. Please
DO NOT
add extra
room for comfort, we will do that.
