This calendar is was created with pictures from our FORUM members... after the cost of the calendar production and mailing charges, all proceeds go directly to Dr. Leigh Anne Clark at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina, U.S.A. .......Dr. Clark is working on EPI Genetic Research in an effort to identify the EPI Genetic marker(s). I hope you will consider buying one and supporting the EPI cause. These calendars will make wonderful holiday gifts and will also be a great keepsake of friends that you have come to know on your EPI journey.

-- Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 7 yrs! Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.

Hi Olesia, GREAT JOB on the calender!!!!!!!! Just looked at it and immediately ordered it. I'm still kicking myself, with Terry's help, for not getting the pictures sent to you. Frank | |

Thank you Frank.... I had SO many great pictures that I only wished this could have been an 18 month calendar instead of a 12 month calendar. But there is always next year..... AND one of our members gave me an idea for a possible spring-time project... so please tell Terry to kick you all the way to your computer and still email me those pictures | |

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Olesia to the EPI cause. It's a most beautiful calender and a touching tribute to Bonnie.
Its heartening to see the fabulous EPI critter family enjoying life, a truly wonderful tribute to you all of your commitment and dedication. Here's to many more calenders with your gorgeous furbabies.

Olesia,
The calendar is absolutely beautiful. You have done an amazing job. Thankyou so much. Loved it that Bonnie is on the front page & also the back page is a lovely tribute. I'm sure Debra is very emotional but happy that you've done this. She will be very proud, I'm sure. It is a very beautiful front page as are all the pages. It is wonderful. I'm now going to work out how to order.

The calendar is awesome, I can't wait to get one. What a fine looking bunch of dogs we have............
The pictures of Bonnie are beautiful and dedicating it to her memory is so touching and so very fitting. It's exactly what I would have expected out of this group of caring people.
Thanks so much for letting Claire and I be a part of it.
