Just a reminder to all of you out there to remember to order your Pets of Balloon Juice 2011 Calendar– they make the perfect gift for Christmas and they will certainly brighten up your office space. I gave my mother one, and she remarked that it was of exceptionally high quality, so thanks for all the hard work, Laura W!

We got ours in the mail Friday. It’s a quality piece of work, and kudos all around for the folks who did this thing.

I have a pic for next year’s calendar.

Mine came Friday, too. High quality and hours of entertainment checking out the endearing and amazing pets of the B-J readers.
@jeffreyw: Aaahhh! That is just too, too sweet!

@jeffreyw: Homer is as cute as ever.
Have not gotten mine yet. Cannot wait. Oh, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but, Go, Cowboys!

That is some serious pet pr0n.

@jeffreyw:
The dog’s name is Annie, right?
Nice of her to adopt Homer. She may have a buddy for the rest of her life.

BTW, did I mention Lady Smudge is a cover girl? Lower middle. w00t!
jeffreyw
@Linda Featheringill: Yes, that’s Annie. Annie sometimes wonders if motherhood is all it’s claimed to be. Homer delights in pestering her.

Thank god, something different, was this close to killing and eating my dog because, seriously, we’re doomed!
asiangrrlMN
@jeffreyw: I thought it was Annie; it would have been funny if it were one of the boys, though.
@arguingwithsignposts: Lady Smudge is gorgeous, so she deserves it.

Got mine the other day … fast service!
Having fun looking at the up close and personal shots of all the BJ pets.
Thanks for doing this!

My orange boy, Apollo, is on January’s page, left of center. Kind of like my politics. ;-) He’s the big fat kitty with the amazing orange eyes.

Animal pornography is such an ugly pastime. You should all be ashamed.

I’m hoping someone gets me one as a gift. I’m way too modest to buy something like that for myself.

A calendar is just a reminder of how long it will be to the 2012 elections.

There’s my Halley, third pet down on the right.

Mine is on the way. I can’t wait!
@jeffreyw: He is such a character.

@asiangrrlMN:
Charlotte still occasionally tries to nurse from Keaton, which confuses the poor boy to no end.
asiangrrlMN
@Mnemosyne: I think that’s hilarious. Any pics?
Mnemosyne
@asiangrrlMN:
Hmm. Unfortunately, they’re both black-and-white so they kind of blend into each other when they’re together, but this one gives the general idea.
asiangrrlMN
@Mnemosyne: Awwww! That is both sweet AND cute.

@asiangrrlMN:
We call Keaton “Mr. Charm and Personality.” Everybody loves him, including the vet tech who cleaned his teeth and gave him a big lipstick smooch on the forehead afterwards for being so good.

Keith Olbermann will be back Tuesday night … It’s over …..
Dee Loralei
@jeffreyw: Annie looks like my mom’s dog Boomer. So I always show her your Brittany pics.
And Mnemosyn, Keaton looks like our old kitty Ralphie. She lived to be 19 years old. Barely tolerated us humans, but loved her puppies. She died in her sleep, curled up getting warmth from the light of a table lamp.
And YAY! Keith’s back!

Woo Hoo! That’s my Gryffindor, the big ginger boy, sleeping in the lavendar “cathouse”, just above center. I’ve got a calendar coming, can’t wait!
greggha
Got ours. Our rockhead Golden, Wenatchi, is poking her head over the snow-covered bush in January, and the best first dog ever, Hannah, is middle of the page in December. We love it! Thanks, Laura W! This had to be a fun project.
suzanne
@jeffreyw: Ahhhh-dorable. :)
@Mnemosyne: You’re right, I can’t tell where one ends and the other begins, but they’re so damn cute.
Luna has two adorable quirks that I’ve been trying to capture on camera. One is that she often lifts one ear quizzically, but not the other. The other is that shelays with one back leg out, like a doofus. I personally find it adorable.
We’ve had her since July, and I was looking at some pictures of her from when we first brought her home. She’s already grown so dang much. We’ve had her on Science Diet, because that’s what she was fed at the shelter, but I was thinking about switching her to the Costco brand food. Anyone have any luck with that food? I look forward to paying less for dog food—I dread the unrelenting farts she’ll let loose until she gets used to it.

Got ours Friday. It’s verrry nice.
Rosalita
Mine was at the door on Friday… looks great! Thanks everyone. Such a good cause and fun too look at all year.
celiadexter
We got 4 and are trying decide which lucky 3 people get them for Festivus. They’re lovely, although it’s hard to admit the other hundreds of cats and dogs are as cute as ours!
WaterGirl
John, maybe you could leave this post up until the holidays, with a link on the front page?
That way we could have a virtual show and tell, one place to go to point to our critters, and an easy place to go to find out which pets go with which commenters.
Pretty please?
