pet connection

Just a reminder that tonight at 7 p.m. ET, PetHobbyist.com is bringing Chat Month 2010 to an end with a really fantastic subject, and its final “Pet Connection connection.”

Pet journalists Steve Dale and our own Kim Campbell Thornton will discuss how, after losing beloved pets, they created funds to raise money to help other animals suffering from the same diseases that took their own pets.

Steve founded The Ricky Fund in memory of his Devon Rex cat Ricky, who died at the age of 4 of feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Kim founded The Darcy Fund in memory of her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Darcy, who died of mitral valve disease.

Find out more about these diseases, how the funds have helped both other animals and also Kim and Steve, and how you might go about honoring a lost pet in a similar way.

These interviews are held in streaming audio, and you’ll be able to comment and ask questions in a text-based chat room.
