Have you gone through your photos?
Selected your pics for the 2022 BJ Pet Calendar?
We are using the same system as last year.
It’s a 4-step process, start to finish. (for you)
- Start the process by sending an email message
- Use the link we supply to upload your files
- Check for your nym and names of your pets in the spreadsheet we’ll post later on BJ
- Notify us if anything is incorrect
…..
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.
We have zero pet names for the calendar so far!
…..
Calendars will be available to order by December 1.
Beth needs time to work with the pics on the design, so fair warning: we are going to have to be firm about deadlines in order to have the calendars available to order by December 1.
Please let us know ASAP that you plan to send photos in, and the names of your pets. 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.
Oh, and all calendar posts are Open Threads.

Both of our cats have featured in past calendars and god knows they don’t need the ego boost, but we have a highly charismatic tortoise.
Miss Bianca
And I promise, swear to God, (or Dog, if you prefer) that I will get that update on Wet Mountain Animal Welfare to WaterGirl ASAP. It’s just that between the theater and my sister and my COVID scare it has been like a fire hose of liquid shit chez Mountain Hacienda here.

I will need to check with Ocean and Mal if they are in the mood to pose for this year.

My search for a dog continues. I do not foresee her arriving by the November 1st deadline ?. I am a patient woman.

@Comrade Colette:

I don’t normally, but I just sent you my favorite (ok, one of my favorites, I have many) photos of Bixby.
geg6
Did you get the pics I sent you the other day?
I thought you had already posted this and emailed you a photo of Lovey and Koda and one of Cleo. If not, I’ll re-send them.
WaterGirl
@geg6: I had just announced that folks should start going through their pics and deciding. That way you guys would be ready once we were ready with the submission link.
I did get the ones you sent, but if you don’t mind using the link, that would be simplest for me. Let me know what you decide.
debbie
That is one great sweater!
Nicole
Thank you for letting us know; I sent you an email for the link. Thank you, also, for pulling this all together!
I think Ripley the Wonder Dog is losing her two front canines this week. They’ve been broken for years and as she’s getting older the vet is concerned about her dental health. We scheduled her cleaning/extraction, ran blood tests and then her ALP and ALT came back kinda high (for her) so more tests had to be done to make sure her liver can handle the anesthesia. Tests came back fine, so she’s all systems go and the vet said we’ll just check in on her liver numbers at next year’s check up. Upon googling, I discovered dental disease can raise the ALP numbers, so I’m hoping the $$$$$ (boy oh boy, teeth ain’t cheap, whether dog or human) we’re spending on her mouth will fix that, too.
WaterGirl
@debbie: It really is! I’m a bit jealous.

Think I’ll wait for next year when I am safely ensconced in the new home with Kilo, and can take a proper photo. He love to pose.
Open thread? The HCA is fundraising for WHO vax. it’s a party over there.
Fair Economist
It’s so nice to have somebody keeping this organized.
WaterGirl
@VeniceRiley: What is HCA?
SiubhanDuinne
No pressure on anyone, but Cheryl Rofer, if you’re listening, I’d love to see a photo of Ric and Zooey in the 2022 calendar.
Can’t wait to place my order.

many a Jackal has mentioned it.
WaterGirl
@VeniceRiley: I had never seen it abbreviated!
Ksmiami
@WaterGirl: what’s the email?
Betty
Henry’s sweater is gorgeous. Suits him to a tee.
WaterGirl
@Ksmiami: Details are in Contact Us in the white menu bar up top.
WaterGirl
I am making my way through the emails you guys have sent, so don’t worry if you don’t see a response from me until tomorrow.
Ken
I note the usual emphasis on multicellular eukaryotic pets. Ah well, surely there is a yogurt calendar out there somewhere….
VeniceRiley
@Ken: Oh, gods. Now everyone is going to send in shots of their bread starter! LMAO.
Alison Rose
@WaterGirl: I just did it from my phone, then as it was uploading I noticed the file format was something weird, so I’m not sure if it’ll work. I sent a second one just in case.
WaterGirl
@Alison Rose: I will have to ask Beth if she can handle HEIC. I noticed .png was not on the list from last, so I am asking her about that, too.
Sweet girl! I am assuming she is a girl because she looks like my Miss Willow.
WaterGirl
Okay, I believe I am caught up on the pet calendar emails as of 7:20 eastern time. If you sent me an email before then and do not receive a reply, please let me know.
Alison Rose
@WaterGirl: She is a little lady, yes :)
WaterGirl
@Alison Rose: Does she like to be called “Miss” like my girl does?
It started when I got them and called them “Miss Girl” and “Mr. Boy” (siblings and I hadn’t named them yet!)
So they are Miss Willow and Mr. Bear.
Alison Rose
@WaterGirl: I do call her little miss sometimes when she’s being certain kind of ways!
Ms. Deranged in AZ
I’m going to submit a photo of each of my cats:. Lottie, Mouse, and Frankie.
WaterGirl
@Ms. Deranged in AZ: Great!
