Spreading Joy, One Calendar at a Time — Rosa & LuLu’s Therapy Dog Calendar
Rosa and her golden retriever, LuLu, are more than just companions, they’re a therapy dog team bringing comfort and happiness to people in nursing homes and community spaces. Since 2017, LuLu has been warming hearts with her gentle presence, turning difficult days into joyful ones. Residents light up when they hear, “LuLu is here!”
Wanting to share LuLu’s story and spread her joy even further, Rosa decided to create a wall calendar filled with vibrant photography and heartfelt moments from their visits.
The Calendar: A Year of Smiles
The 2026 Rosa & LuLu Calendar is a 28-page wall calendar designed to brighten each month with LuLu’s personality and charm.
Highlights include:
- Vivid photography of LuLu in action, paired with uplifting stories of her therapy visits
- Full-color printing on durable gloss paper for year-round use
- Practical design with hole drilling for easy hanging
- Shrink-wrapped bundles for organized distribution
This isn’t just a calendar; it’s a daily reminder of the healing power of dogs and the beauty of kindness.
The Vision & Publishing Journey
For Rosa, the calendar was more than a project—it was a mission.
“I wanted people to feel what I feel when I see LuLu bringing joy to someone who needed it most. A calendar was the perfect way to capture her story and share it with more people.” Rosa
As a first-time calendar publisher, Rosa needed guidance on everything from paper type to binding options. That’s where PrintingCenterUSA’s customer service team stepped in.
The Print Solution
Rosa needed a print partner who could:
- Deliver professional-quality full-color printing to showcase LuLu’s photos
- Provide affordable short-run printing for a manageable first order
- Offer expert support to help her navigate the self-publishing process
- Ensure durable materials that would last through an entire year of use
By selecting 80# cardstock gloss for the cover, 100# gloss for the inside pages, and saddle-stitch binding, PrintingCenterUSA provided the perfect blend of quality and affordability. The “Wait & Save” option gave Rosa the flexibility to keep her costs low while still producing a professional-grade product.
The Result: A Calendar That Connects
The final product—250 copies of a beautifully printed wall calendar—was everything Rosa had hoped for.
“Hayley was wonderful to work with. Helped me out when I got stuck on something and answered all of my questions and walked me through the process! Thanks!!” Rosa
