2021 BJ Pet Calendars will be available to order this year by December 1.
This post is the for the night crew.
People asked for the BJ Pet Calendar to be available before February this year :-) so that means everything has to start earlier.
To start the process, simply send email to pet-calendar or to watergirl. If you need more info about the exact email addresses, check out Contact Us in the white bar up top, for details.
Your message should include:
- your nym
- the names of all your pets that are going to be in the calendar
Details will be sent to you by email once you send the email with your nym and pet names.
Please let us know by Oct 15 that you plan to send photos in, and the names of your pets. If your dog ate your homework, you can have an extension until Sunday, Oct 18.
Beth needs time to work with the pics on the design, so fair warning: we are going to have to be more firm about deadlines in order to have the calendars available to order by December 1.
Even without all the pictures, knowing how many entries there will be allows Beth to get started on the design!
The we-really-mean-it-last-date for submitting your pictures is Nov 1. For real.
We have 170 188 pet names for the calendar so far! (Including Mr. Bear, top left, and Miss Willow, top right.)
I have sent the upload link to everyone who has sent an email message.
If you have not received an email reply from me, please send another message.

Trying to rush the calendar through before the election is both shocking and unseemly. February was good enough in the past, but in an election year the “norms” are simply abandoned!
Sebastian
Do I need to upload again or am I good? I think I haven’t submitted a blurb about Charlie.
WaterGirl
@Sebastian: I have Charlie in his red chair. There are no blurbs, just photos with names. So you are good!
WaterGirl
@TriassicSands: hahaha

I love that photo. It is so hard to photograph black pets. Many pets are camera shy. And the demands of lighting etc make photographing camera shy black pets particularly difficult. Best you can hope for is silhouette with eyes.
Lost two black dogs in last five years with no photos.
Sab
Watergirl: we are trying to get organized for pet pictures. My spouse has technical ability. I have pets, no pictures. Hoping to remedy that this week, since he can do pictures.
Sebastian
@WaterGirl:
Perfect!
Sab
@Sab: Also too, after a career doing tax returns, I cannot stand doing them. Even my own. Farce. Sorry Yutsano. I thought this was real.
WaterGirl
@Sab: I had a black dog years ago, too. The only way I could get a decent photo was to get a photo of him with my buff/brown cocker spaniel. The brown in the photo helped with the automatic lighting for the photo.
I imagine that’s what happened here, too. Miss Willow’s coloring allowed Mr. Bear to actually show up instead of the classic black silhouette with scary eyes. :-)
If you tell me the names of your pets, and I can get them added to the spreadsheet for matching up later with your photos.

@WaterGirl: Mr. Bear’s ear hairs are utterly charming. ♡
WaterGirl
@Wolvesvalley: I had never noticed that! Kind of like crazy old man ear hair, only on a kitten. :-)

I have sent email and links to everyone whose email I received after posting this thread. So if you haven’t received email from me, let me know. thanks
Zelma
@WaterGirl:
I am showing my incompetence, but where do I send the email? I do have a picture of my very furry friend when we couldn’t get to the groomer.
WaterGirl
@Zelma: You can send the email directly to me, with my nym at balloon-juice.com
Or you can send it to pet-calendar at the same place as above.
If you’re not sure exactly what I mean by that, check out Contact Us in the white bar up top and it shows you an example.
Can’t put the actual email address online or it would be unusable going forward because of spam.
Post another comment here if you can’t figure it out, and I”ll send an email to the account you use for BJ.
