Who’s up for the Balloon Juice 2025 Pet Calendar?
We are on a short deadline – the deadline for that will be Wednesday, Nov 27.
We’re aiming for an order date of Dec 1.
We are on a short deadline, so we set a limit of 10 pet photos per person this year!
Please send me email to let me know 1) your nym, 2) your name, and 3) the names of your pets.
Send the email to [email protected]
I have the upload link ready to go, just need to find someone who can test the link for me and confirm that it works. Any volunteers?
Just sent the upload link and instructions by email to everyone who sent me email. If you don’t have it, that means I filed your message in the wrong folder somehow :-) and you should send me an email message to say you didn’t receive it.
Please don’t send the photos by email – When you do upload them, please submit the highest resolution version you have.
PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR PHOTOS TO ME BY EMAIL. I am nearly at my quota on my watergirl email and photos are going to put me over the limit – in which case I won’t be able to get any email. :-(

I know I’m dense, but where are we supposed to upload them to?
WaterGirl
@zhena gogolia: I am in the market for a person who can test the upload link the I set up this afternoon. Once someone can test it, then I will email it to everyone who has sent me an email with their name, nym and pet names.
HinTN
@WaterGirl: I can test the link.
Auntie Anne
Done! Thanks. Also would be happy to test link if needed.
Nukular Biskits
Crap! I had forgotten about this!
I need to see if I can find that photo!
WaterGirl
@Auntie Anne: The link was just tested and it works.
Reminder to all: Please name the files with the name of your pet. If you’re on a phone and cannot do that, let me know.

@WaterGirl:
Oops I sent mine in from your request before this post. He’s Bear.
WaterGirl
@realbtl: Yeah, when I sent you the test link I didn’t include the instructions. :-) I changed the file name to “Bear” after checkig your original email.
Thanks for testing!
WaterGirl
@HinTN: Thanks for the offer!
I wonder if you saw the email where I answered your earlier questions.
WaterGirl
About 20 people have sent email with their info for the calendar.
No love for the calendar this year? These are really times for most of us. If beth and I can muster the heart to do the calendar, maybe you guys can muster the heart to send in your pets? (she asked hopefully)

@WaterGirl:
You mind if I post this call on Bluesky?
WaterGirl
@Nukular Biskits: This is the Balloon Juice Pets calendar, so I think maybe not? Unless you want to post something to remind BJ peeps on BlueSky that it’s pet calendar time? That would work!
Nukular Biskits
@WaterGirl:
That’s what I was thinking.
Not a general announcement but a reminder for jackals.
WaterGirl
@Nukular Biskits: A reminder for jackals would be great!
Miss Bianca
@WaterGirl: I will send you an email – I just forgot in all the…uh…excitement of the last few days…
Nukular Biskits
@WaterGirl:
Done … although I’m not sure how many BJers follow me there.
And I see where Cole put the word out as well.
HinTN
@WaterGirl: Yes – Look at your calendar for the day before Thanksgiving. Is the number correct? Mine says 25 and there are several more mistakes like that in this year’s model.
/ grump – pix uploaded
HinTN
@WaterGirl: I can send more pix but I cannot film the whole calendar (unless you just do one or two pets per month 😁).
Put the announcement in the on the road post tomorrow.

@WaterGirl: I sent you an email about submitting photos. Thanks!
