 Jane's 2024 calendar is finished and ready

to download and print. Here is a little preview of February. All of the images were created in 2023, and they are all cropped carefully to fit the calendar template. This kind of cropping is fun, and it generates new images!

Print it out and enjoy in the months to come. Here is a preview of the first couple of months.

 

One-Eyed Pup Hobie World Cutest Rescue Dog

The terrier mix triumphed over more than 8,000 other canines to win the 2023 PEOPLE's World's Cutest Rescue Dog Contest Presented by the PEDIGREE® brand.

"He looks like a teddy bear and is very sweet," the one-eyed terrier mix's pet parent, Christin Bernhardt, tells PEOPLE about the pup's adorable allure.

Hobie, 5, voted 2023 Pedigree cutest rescue with his family in Coto de Caza, CA Oct. 7, 2023 with family Christin Bernhardt Joern Riemer and 'fur sister' Zoe Hobie was rescued from Name of Rescue: PUP (Protecting Unwanted Pets).

 

For Bernhardt, 36, and her husband, Joern Riemer, Hobie's cuteness was undeniable from the first moment they saw him.

Before meeting the dog, the couple felt their family was "incomplete" after their cross-country move from Boston to Coto de Caza, California, in the summer of 2022. So they began searching for another dog to join them and their 15-year-old Cairn terrier Zoe. Browsing through rescue pets online, Bernhardt came across Hobie, who was available for adoption at the Laguna Beach Animal Shelter. The couple learned that Hobie had been rescued from the streets of Tijuana, Mexico, where he was found with severe glaucoma, which eventually led to the removal of his left eye.

Hobie's prizes include a year's supply of dog food from PEDIGREE and a $1,000 donation to the animal rescue of his choice. The pooch's family has opted to donate the prize to PUP Laguna Beach, fundraising arm of  Laguna Beach Animal Shelter, Hobie's former home.
