All About Pugs

Don't you love pugs? Their adorable wrinkly faces always make me laugh. Did you know that Napoleon's wife used her pet pug to deliver messages to her family from prison? They're so smart and loving. Ahlers Designs has a great pug emblem you can put on any of her products - a wall hook for your pug's leash or a business card holder that will make you smile. The pug design comes in black or fawn so you can match it to the special dog in your life.

Help Women/ Breast Cancer Petition

Breast cancer is real issue for many women. With Mother's Day approaching signing this petition is a small something we can all do to help all women including mothers. We should all do what we can to help. Here is a link to sign a petition: www.lifetimetv.com/breastcancer/petition/petitionthanks.php

Mastectomy Hospital Bill in Congress.
A mastectomy is when a woman's breast is removed in order to remove cancerous breast cells/tissue. If you know anyone who has had a mastectomy, you may know that there is a lot of discomfort and pain afterwards.

Insurance companies are trying to make mastectomies an outpatient procedure.Let's give women the chance to recover properly in the hospital for 2 days after surgery.

It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important ... please take the time and do it!

Here at Ahlers Designs we want to help. We have designed a Breast Cancer Ribbon Emblem. This design is available on most of our products. With the profits from this emblem we donate money to Breast Cancer Causes. It s a good thing to do.
