Twelve breast cancer survivor models, 13 puppies, and 2 guinea pigs names Missy and Tracia all came together one sunny morning in April. Each woman exemplified the extraordinary bond people share with their critters. Our latest calendar shoot took place at the Kentland’s Mansion in Gaithersburg, MD on April 19, 2009.
