2024 Calendars - RELEASE SOON!

Last year hectic schedule prevented me from doing the charity calendar for 2023, with regrets for sure. But am delighted to let you know I managed to plan well ahead this year and save enough time and energy to prepare for the 2024 project! 

Can't believe the 2024 calendar will be the 15th anniversary project💗!! Time flies but am grateful in the past years, I have carved out time and energy to do this calendar project and raised over HK$2.3M for the beneficiaries to help the doggies and animals in need. I seriously hope the 2024 calendar sells well and raise another good sum for the beneficiaries as I am not sure if by next year I am well and fit enough to do another round!😅

Besides having support from the lovely paw-parents and their cuteness-overload doggies🐶 featured in the calendar (without which this project cannot kick start at all), I am lucky to be able to secure support from artist @Paul Lung this year to draw amazing paintings of the doggies as shown in the circles in the big calendar pages. You might thought they are photographs, but they are actually hand drawn paintings with Paul spending not less than 5 hours per painting. So a big applause to Paul to give me this kind-hearted and voluntary help!👏

This year I tried to make the featured doggies look "cool" and thanks to my friend @AnnChoi, a professional photographer, for giving me guidance on studio lighting set up as well as assisting me in my photo-shoot! I am sure Ann had a good time seeing how hilarious I communicated with the doggies!👍

Big thank you also to Pam and Ringo of @IDOL Printing. Without them, I cannot complete the design of the calendar as you see it now. They are with me all through these years and truly appreciate your professional service.💪

Thanks also to my corporate sponsors, who stay with this charity project, rain or shine: @Mega Pets, @Whiskas & Paws, @The Veterinary Specialty Hospital, @Valley Veterinary Centre, @Brown's Tailor, @Rock Tone Music, @Megan's Kitchen and @Club String. And welcome a new corporate sponsor @Moguu! Without your support, this calendar project will be more difficult to start with. So Thank You!

 

This time besides DM me for your orders, you can also order online @ https://www.loveourdogscalendar.com/ .Printed calendars will be ready for your purchase and delivery or collection no later than 15 Sep 2023. Please continue to support this little charity project of mine and help the doggies-in-need via beneficiaries @HKDR @SAA @LAP @SPCA @Hong Kong Homeless Dog Shelter.

Most important of all, please continue to LOVE the doggies and animals around us. Don't ever abandon any of them if they are already at your keepsake.

2022 Happy Chinese New Year!

 

As Chinese New Year is near, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Year of Tiger! Kung Hei Fat Choy!

I guess lots of us are still struggling in lots of way to handle COVID19 and the new strings Omnicron. Let's keep safe, do our parts (like taking vaccinations, mindful of keeping our personal hygiene, complying with social distancing restrictions, etc, [while keeping sane and healthy]) and in the meantime, enjoy more of our time (not travelling) with our furry friends at home, in Hong Kong, which is the silver lining at this time :)

Below is a summary report of the sales results of the 2022 LOVE OUR DOGS charity calendar. Raised a total of HK$310,000 this time and over HK$2.33M since 2009. Hope it helps the beneficiary organisations including HKDR, SAA, SPCA, HK Homeless Dogs Shelter and LAP to help the doggies in need. Their respective acknowledgement letters on receipt of donations also shown below.

Seriously not sure if still have time to do the 2023 calendar but will surely let you know if the project continues.

In the meantime, thank you for all your support to my small charity project throughout these years and let's wish all our doggies friends do not and will not suffer any hardship or get abused by us human beings.

2022 Calendars - All Ready For You!

Thrilled to let you know the 2022 LOVE OUR DOGS Charity calendars are all ready for you to order and purchase now!! As mentioned before, this year's theme is based on Staycation with your Doggies in Hong Kong. What's best to do with your four-legged friends in Hong Kong? Nothing beats bringing them to have a good walk and explore the beauty of Hong Kong together! Grateful to have local artist Alan Cheung (@fatlundraw) to volunteer painting all the beautiful sketches of Hong Kong hiking scenery for this project! Do challenge yourself and see if you can recognise all 12 scenery spots that I have selected and included in this calendar! And if you have not yet visit some of them, bring your dogs and visit now!

Thanks again to my dear friends who sponsored 12 doggies-featured months in the calendars, without this to start with, I will have no lovely doggies for me to photoshoot and start the project. Seeing how most of you were helpless with giving commands to your doggies at photo-shoot brought me a good laugh! But there are quite a number of doggies listening to their mommy/daddy diligently. I am also impressed by my friends adopting doggies who had a history of suffering. The little pug featured in Dec is only a puppy while I did my photo shoot was blind from birth. The Akita featured in Sep was also having a hard time delivering litter non-stop. Really happy to see my kind hearted friends giving them a warm and happy home.

Thanks to Simon of Acumen Paper for sponsoring me paper for the calendars for a few years already! it drastically cut down the cost of this project and made some balance for donations. Same as all these years, only printing costs are deducted from the sales proceeds and ALL are donated.

Thanks to Pam and Ringo of IDOL Printing. Pam helped me lots with completing my design job, especially on the cover! Appreciated!! I understand you guys have already provided me with the most economical printing and delivery costs and making me able to get more net proceeds for donation.

Thanks to my corporate sponsors Mega Pet, Whiskers N Paws, The Barkyard, The Veterinary Specialty Hospital, Valley Veterinary Centre, Green Common, Brown's Tailor, Rock Tone Music, Club String and Megan's Kitchen. Your continued support to this little project means a lot to me.

Hope this little project of mine can bring meaningful donations to Hong Kong Dog Rescue, SAA, LAP, SPCA and Hong Kong Homeless Dog Shelter and which in turn provided much needed help to helpless doggies.

Please enjoy my little project and use it daily! :)
