2021 Pet Calendar!
If you want your pets to be in the calendar, and you have not yet started the process with an email message to me, you have missed the deadline, but you have 24 hours to get a special dispensation from the pope. Send me an email message if the above statement applies to you.
Pet photo deadline is a week from tomorrow – November 1.
There are 3 lists, which are briefly described here. Details for each list are included under each list heading.
#1 – You have submitted your pet photos for the calendar, the resolution of the photos you sent is fine, and you are being asked to check your information for accuracy.
#2 – You have submitted your pet photos for the calendar, but there are issues with resolution, and you are being asked to upload a higher resolution version of your photo, if you have one.
#3 – You have started the process, but you have not yet sent in your pet photos.
LIST #3
If you are in this list, you have indicated that you will be uploading photos for the calendar, but they have not been uploaded yet.
Please make sure that the photo you upload for the calendar is the highest resolution version you have for that photo.
Also, if your beloved pet has crossed the rainbow bridge and you wanted either a heart or a rainbow next to your name, please make sure the correct information is under the Heart/Rainbow column. If you have not yet requested a heart or a rainbow, and you would like one, please let me know in the comments.
List updated on 10/31.

Ken
I’m not on any of the lists, but since it’s an open thread, I was wondering: Does this count as Watergirl bigfooting herself, and if so has that ever happened before?
WaterGirl
@Ken: Yes, I have big-footed myself before for something similar.
:-)
Middlelee
Where is list #1?
raven
I sent mine
Tue, Sep 22, 2:54 PM
Ken
@Middlelee: List #1 and List #2 were posted before List #3 so are, by the logic of blogs, after List #3 in the front-page list.
KRK
A heart for my Gus, please.
Thank you for all of the effort going into this!
randy khan
I think ? is a fine name for a cat, so I hope Aleta’s pet is a cat. I’ve also known a couple who could have been called !, not to mention #@%#!
WaterGirl
@Middlelee: @Ken:
Sorry for the confusion! I had all 3 lists together but the post was WAY too long, so I separated them.
You can easily find them in the sidebar where I have the threads for all 3 lists posted. :-)
WaterGirl
@KRK: Added the heart, thanks. And you are welcome!
WaterGirl
@raven: How did you send them? I don’t have you in the spreadsheet at all.
WaterGirl
@randy khan: I agree! Three syllables makes for a long name, but I try not to judge. :-)
raven
@WaterGirl:
and I just sent it again
Ken
@WaterGirl: Oh, it’s not that confusing and – although I am not participating, since apparently sansevieria doesn’t count as a pet – I imagine it’s much nicer for those involved than getting automated reminder emails.
danielx
@WaterGirl:
Sent mine on the 21st via Dropbox and got an acknowledgment.
Miss Bianca
All good for me and mine! : ) Thanks, WaterGirl!
WaterGirl
@raven: Ah. That’s the old address from previous years. I don’t think anyone even checks that anymore. We should probably either put an auto forward on that email or an auto reply that sends people to the current address.
WaterGirl
@danielx: Thanks! We have your files, I just missed adding the checkmark in the spreadsheet. You are good.
K488
Two of my cats (Paul and Simon) are on list 1, and all info is fine. Martha is on list 2, and I have uploaded a new picture of her. Thanks for doing all of this!
Nutmeg again
I am not sending a photo of Ms Murphy this year–I am a lousy photographer, and she is camera-shy. However I will def be buying one!
Question: has the designated shelter been announced? I am sure it is a good choice, and would like to make a wee contribution to them. Fank yew.
danielx
@WaterGirl:
Thanks muchly!
WaterGirl
@K488: Martha’s picture is still too small a file size. :-( Can you send something bigger?
WaterGirl
@Nutmeg again: John is getting closer to making an announcement, last I heard he thought he would likely put up a post about it tomorrow.
He is going with the one he settled on a couple of weeks ago, but he is dotting all the Is and crossing all the Ts with the rescue group.
Mary G
I would just like to say how much I appreciate your involvement, WG. So organized!
I’m trying to get photos of my two monsters, but they’ve been sleeping or fighting all week.
WaterGirl
@Mary G: You have a week to get your photos in, so hopefully they will cooperate at some point. Keep that camera or phone handy! :-)
P.S. Thanks for your kind words.
WaterGirl
@Mary G:
Thanks. We are trying super hard to have this year’s calendar ready to order on Dec 1. Cross your fingers.
K488
@WaterGirl: Just did so! Thanks!
WaterGirl
@K488: The latest Martha is perfect!
K488
@WaterGirl: Great! And yes, Martha is perfect. She’ll tell you so.
daize
Watergirl, echoing everyone here in saying thank you so much for all of your work in putting this together for us. I’m unable to render a suitable photo for my dear Wart (old negatives in 110 format). Is it possible to switch him to another pet? His name is Moo (someone else I forgot to add to the initial list). Hope to have photos to you very soon. Again, thank you for taking on this gigantic task. The calendar always provides such joy.
WaterGirl
@daize: Not to worry, you can have all your pets in the calendar, or at least all the ones you have pictures for.
Just name each photo you upload with the name of the pet, and if there’s more than one pet in the photo, the filename should have the names from left to right. Or top to bottom, depending on the photo!.
Thanks for your kind words! It’s Beth’s design work that makes the calendar so special, but I’m happy to do this part so Beth can have the fun of designing the calendar without the stress of the organization part.
Maybe one of the photographers here can tell you if there’s a way to work some magic with your old negatives.
randy khan
@WaterGirl:
Yes, three syllables is a lot. Ours are all one and two syllables, and I think we’ve only had one with three syllables.
WaterGirl
@randy khan: I was teasing, of course, because I’m pretty sure Aleta’s pets aren’t called “Question-mark!” :-)
WaterGirl
Okay, guys. I have updated the list up top. The list should be accurate as of 10/25 at 10 am.
Aleta
Hi WG, I’m withdrawing. Thanks for all you do.
@WaterGirl: Interesting thought. They are unfolding mysteries.
Elie
Hi!
I am on this list as haven’t sent but I uploaded and got confirmation. Is there a lag, Watergirl? Again, thanks so much for doing this…
Elie
HinTN
@WaterGirl: I should move to at least List #2 as of an hour ago.
I could not find a picture of Sam, so we’ll just have to treasure his memory.
I also sent multiple photos of the same pets so you can use all as needed or choose your fave.
