BUY A DATE OF THE MONTH:
If you would prefer not to have to compete for a slot on the calendar, you can buy a day of the year for a $10 fee. This is popular for a pet’s birth date or death date. Your pet’s photo will be published in the small square of that date on the calendar. The dates are on a first come, first serve basis, but you may specify a 2nd or 3rd choice in case your date isn’t available. Click here to buy a "Day Of The Month" Calendar Slot
