My beloved kitty, Quiver in 2009.
This is last call for real.
All you have to do by the end of the day on Wednesday 10/21 is send an email to start the process. That’s it. Just one email message, telling us that you want your guys in the calendar and what their names are. You don’t even have to send the photos yet.
Address the email to me or you can send it to pet-calendar. You know the format of the email addresses, right? nym at balloon-juice.com – for more details click on Contact Us.
Your message should include:
- your nym
- the names of all your pets that are going to be in the calendar*
When I get your email, I will send you the link to upload your photos.
As soon as we know how many entries there will be, Beth can get started sorting the pictures we already have.
You can write as much as you want in your email, but it can be as simple as this. Yes, this is a screen cap of a real one.
*If you have a beloved pet that is no longer with you, they can be in the calendar, too. You have an option of a small heart next to their name, or a tiny rainbow. If you want either of those, just let us know.
Deadline for actually submitting your pictures is Nov 1.
Open thread.

my kittensvelociraptors are still refusing to sit still for any kind of photo. :/WaterGirl
You guys can use this as an open thread. I just wanted to get the word out about the calendar one last time.
@cain:
That’s disappointing! But perhaps pure energy cannot be captured.
cain
@WaterGirl:
The problem is any sound is enough to get them running – lol. :
Right now, I need to cut their nails.. ugh.. there is a lout of yelling in pain here :D
cain
The engagement in this thread is disappointing – it’s like you are scared cuz you know you haven’t dropped off your pics yet. For godsakes, at least vote!
Meanwhile young Conor suddenly feels empathy for Toobin:
Gin & Tonic
@cain: I don’t get why media types are circling the wagons on this. It was profoundly stupid and reckless. Maybe Toobin has a problem, OK, but he will be known forevermore as the guy who rubbed one out while at work, on Zoom. And that is entirely just.
Since WaterGirl hasn’t sent me the first easy $29.95 installment, she won’t know how to not talk about Toobin and his dick.

Ok just sent my email. I have a nice photo of the pup in her blaze orange.
Kristine
Sent.
Sloane Ranger
I’m in the UK. Will you be able to post one to me in time for Christmas?
cain
@Gin & Tonic:
Maybe they all secretly do the same thing? But more than likely there is someone on that call that he finds very attractive and he got very hot and bothered and decided to rub one out.
WaterGirl
@Sloane Ranger: The plan is to have the calendar order-able by December 1st this year, so I would say definitely yes
edit: You can order from Cafe Press, yes?
WaterGirl
@MomSense: Nice one! I still think of Korra as a baby.
Odie Hugh Manatee
Watergirl…
You wanted feedback on how the whole linking and uploading experience was and I just wanted to say that I was so traumatized by how easy and smooth it was that it took me couple of days to recover from the experience.
:)
WaterGirl
@Odie Hugh Manatee: hahaha
thanks for the feedback!
Sloane Ranger
@WaterGirl: I can access the website so I assume so. I will probably have to ask where to find it though!
WaterGirl
@Sloane Ranger: I’m trying to share the information as it’s relevant, otherwise with so much going on, it’s unlikely that anyone will retain it anyway. :-)
Step 1 – identify pets whose peeps want them in the calendar
Step 2- get all the pictures
Step 3 – Beth does the design
Step 4 – Once it’s order-able, we tell people how to order
Miss Bianca
Sent photos, yay!
WaterGirl
@Miss Bianca: Got ’em!
Still haven’t seen the re-send of the email from last week, though. Did you end up re-sending that?
Miss Bianca
@WaterGirl:
I’ll have to look and see – sometimes when things get to be a chain of more than a dozen emails I lose track of who’s gotten what where when.
