Meet Swanky Pet, Flower!

Hi, my name is Allie Jane Tilford and I want to tell you a story about me and about why my mom chose the "She Loves Me" collar as a birthday gift for me. (Next month, I will be 3 whole years old!!)

..............Once upon a time there was a little black puppy wandering around alone. It was winter time, and she was cold and lonely. Then someone trapped her, put her in a big white van and then dropped her off at this big place with bunches of other dogs and even some furry cats!! The next few days were very hard for her, people looked at her with strange eyes and said things like "lab weimeraner?", "lab doberman?", "lab MIX??". She didn't understand. But at least they let her keep her pink collar with flowers on it. It was the only thing she had to remind her of what used to be home. Soon enough, little puppy was put in a kennel tagged with the name "Flower"...and there she would stay until someone fell in love with her.

Within just a few days a woman walked through looking for her first puppy. She saw Flower and passed her by. But then as she walked back by she saw a pair of sad little brown eyes peeking up at her and had to stop and at least rub Flowers head a time or two. When she stepped into the kennel, Flower never barked, never jumped, never made a sound. She simply walked up to the woman, put her head in between the woman's knees and waited to be loved. As the woman stroked Flowers head she thought, "This is love". And love it was. The woman took Flower to her little home and decided to name her "Allie Jane". And they lived happily ever after. The End....................

So that is my story. Me and mom have been inseparable since we first met in November 2007. Now, I'm no longer a puppy prisoner. I have my own back yard and get to snuggle up next to my mom in bed every single night. I chase birds, roll around in the grass, go to the dog park, play fetch, rollover, and I LOVE to shake hands. But the only thing is, as soon as mom adopted me, she had to get rid of my pink collar because it got too tight. She promised me all along that she'd find me another one. I've had bunches of pink collars since that one, but never one that made me feel beautiful and special like that one did. So mom found swankypet.com and found me the most BEAUTIFUL collar ever. Even more beautiful than my old one! Not only is it pink, but it has flowers all over it. I think someone made it especially for me since I love pink and my name used to be Flower. I have never felt more special and more beautiful than when I'm wearing it. Mom calls it my "church collar" since it's my extra special outfit.

When I'm wearing my special collar, I look at my moms eyes and I know ......."She LOVES Me".

Thank you SwankyPet for making me feel beautiful.

Soldier, Dog to Trek 7,000 Miles to Help Military Families

When Troy Yokum arrived home after a tour of duty in Iraq last year, he spent one day relaxing with family before hatching a plan. Stunned by the stories of friends who'd returned from the war and lost their jobs, he was on a mission: To raise money for struggling military families, and bring awareness to his cause.

Now, seven months later, Yokum is preparing to pound the pavement on a 7,000-mile, 16-month cross-country walk, with his sister's 2-year-old Shiba Inu Emmie by his side. Inspired by Terry Fox, the cancer research activist who attempted to run across Canada with an artificial leg, Yokum, 30, knew he had to do something big to draw attention.

"Terry raised so much money, and I was so impressed with his story," Yokum tells PEOPLEPets.com. "I knew if I was at least one-quarter as successful as him, I could raise some serious funds." Yokum's goal is to raise $5 million for Soldiers' Angels, earmarked for needy families.

With the help of companies like Louisville Slugger and Dog Is Good, Yokum's dream is coming true. On Saturday, he'll begin the rain-or-shine journey in his hometown of Louisville, Ky., stopping in major cities and 20 Major League Baseball stadiums along the way. He'll first walk to Los Angeles — "I'm hoping to get on the Ellen DeGeneres Show," he says — then back east toward San Antonio, and onward to New York City and Boston. From there, he'll turn around and head back to Louisville.

Estimating his walk at roughly 50 million steps, Yokum knows it'll be hard on him, as well as on Emmie. "Twenty miles is roughly 100,000 steps for a dog, so you can do the math," he says. "But I don't want people to think this is punishing for her." In fact, Emmie and Yokum take daily 20-mile hikes together, and she'll get to ride in Yokum's chase vehicle whenever her paws are pooped. They'll take days off, too, but only Emmie will get to rest: Yokum plans to fill his downtime with press appearances.

Along the way, the duo will stay with host families and in American Legion and VFW facilities, and visit veterans hospitals to lift soldiers' spirits. "Emmie can bring a smile to anyone's face," Yokum boasts. He'll also carry a drum to draw extra attention to himself. "I want people to come out and interact, and learn about the cause," he says. "Qualified men and women who've risked their lives for this country shouldn't be doing teenage-level work. They deserve their well-paying jobs."

Yokum himself has risked it all for his country as well. "My mom thinks I've already scarified enough," he says. But somehow he's still finding a way to put others before himself. "If you'd told me a year ago when I was sitting in the desert in Iraq that I'd be doing this, I'd have said, 'You're joking'," Yokum says. "And now, here we are."

To contribute to Yokum and Emmie's walk, visit their official Web site (check out the event schedule to see if they'll be stopping in your city). And help support their cause with the "Never Walk Alone" T-shirt from Dog is Good ($19.99).
