I wish I was an art print….
Bonjour there! We’re hitting the road with our painting tools. We’re going into the world of art prints in 2026! Yes, I know, it’s a change. Change is often hard, but I think we’ll enjoy it here at Bonjour. Let’s look at it together:
You can order an art print for your special people and even for you!
Because it’s not expensive “art”, you can write on it and send it as a GIANT card gift.
You can replace that old art on the wall and if the “someone” who gave it to you comes over, you can quickly put it back up for a bit. Well, you could do that with art I suppose. But, this is better art and not expensive. So… wow, what’s stopping us, let’s get going into ‘26 and art prints all the time!!
The Ermine and his magical egg at Christmas this year
Back
Folded cover
A surprising visitor from the forest at Christmastime! See what his magical egg contains!
We thought this Ermine was just special. So we made him main character this year. Cool, huh! Never would had thought about an ermine, I bet. You can send him to your friends for a surprise!
Merry Christmas!

LONGGGGG CAT SAYS HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEN!
Boo there! Have a happy Halloween! All of our Halloween cards are %20 off through the 30th!
Whoa! It’s the END…
It’s the end of summer and the start of a whole new season, that’s for sure!
Bonjour There. Here’s a peek at the new season card. Yes, it’s the first cat card. It’s ok, because it’s a good time for monsters and this is a real monster of a cat. Good for Halloween and, well, Halloween. I know, why a cat? We have to be fair minded here. Eventually, you run out of animals, so here’s to getting the cat out of the way. Anyway, this is no ordinary cat. It’s a Savannah Cat. A cross between an ordinary cat and some kind of wild animal. It’s REALLY LONG, so it fits the card. Great idea, huh?
A peek ahead
Bonjour there. SpokesErmine here. I’m standing in for the terrier who usually hosts this show because she’s gone on vacation to get relief from the AZ heat. Well, that’s just fine because I need to get some exposure ahead of my debut this Christmas. I know. Why does an ermine get the coveted holiday gig and not a goldfish or an otter. Well, I think it’s the 15 minutes of fame thing and you can’t question it. So I’m making the most of it and trying to stretch it to 16 minutes instead. I’m a realist. I’ll have to go back to auditioning for the AFLAC ads. Because I’m an ermine, I bet a could knock off that duck! But that’s later.
You’ll just love the holiday card this year. Really!
Game on!
Bonjour there. Such a surprising friendship! Remember when you used to try to launch each other from your feet as children? Did you think you might be able to get up high enough to fly? Just pick a friend with feet big enough to really get the job done. Right? Take a better look at both sides of the card.
Feels like…
Bonjour there. Cold, huh! Well it feels like it’s an arctic blast, but it’s really about 36 degrees. I know. It’s not very cold…to others. But when you have to live with 110 degrees and higher in the summer, it’s just too much to ask to get “used” to 36. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to complaining about the heat in no time! Have a chilly January!
The Most Friendliest Face in The Whole World!
Bonjour there and we’re off….for the answer to what we’ll do for the Holidays! Here’s something that Bonjour! HowdyDo! came up with. We thought we could use a friendly face this year.
So we made a hopeful polar bear.
The illustrations say it all, so we’ll just gaze at them along with you;)
Yowl!
Front side left, back, right.
What the? Bonjour there, but let’s talk while we’re running away. I guess this is the new Halloween card for this year. Pulled out all the stops on the scary here! Even if it’s phony, funny on the backside, it still harkens back to the wary, scary that we all have ingrained from eons ago. Scare ‘em stiff this year!
Yikes! Friday the 13th caught me unaware!
Well, okay, Bonjour There!, and, yes, I forgot about Friday the 13th. So it’s just a lot of managing the promotions for Halloween and Fall and everything. Also, I HAVE to have the red nails so I can get into the groove of “The Season,” right? It’s really the most important thing. You’d be okay if I had just left everything hanging until the 16th, right?
Hmmm, it’s a question to be sure…
Bonjour there. We’ll have to give this some thought. But not this weekend. You know, it’s just too much work.
The Importance of Silly Gifs
Bonjour there. Sometimes you have to do something really silly. So okay, the “other dog” here has to have something to add to this blog, so I’m generously letting him put in his 2 cents. You know, it never hurts to create some good feelings in the humans as they see me sharing. Like money in the bank. More than 2 cents!
Okay, so here's Louis, playing ball with cloud dogs and then...what won't he plop into his mouth. Well maybe it will keep him quiet for a change.
Great Minds in August…
Bonjour there from Behind Scenes Blog. Summer heat has really hit its stride, right? Well here’s some useless nonsense for you — just to keep you (and me) from going to sleep, again. It’s a look into the fantastic thinking that makes Bonjour! HowdyDo! so refreshing. Just let go of everything you know, and think about whatever comes to mind. We don’t really use any common sense here. Yes, it’s a great way to go. I know. Genius business strategy. You can copy me.
Summer Fun! Wanna play? I’ll share…
Bonjour there from Behind Scenes. Well, summer is well established by now. You could even be having the mid-summer doldrums. All your summer toys played with, and games overdone. You can play with me if you like! I know, I’m very generous. I have many toys. My people have spoiled me. I’ve got a system and I don’t even have to try hard. I just look dejected and sigh a lot. Then, my people get overly concerned with my happiness. I’ve been training them for a long time now and they’ve come a long way. They’re easy now because they just come up with yet another new toy. Bingo! It’s like a dispenser. Check out our summer cards too if you’re still bored. Treat yourself!
From Behind Scenes to you…
Bonjour there from Behind Scenes Blog. Well summer is upon us and it’s REALLY upon us here in Arizona. Summer here is the equivalent to winter in Alaska. You have to hunker down and stay out of the crazy temperatures. So just to keep from getting cabin fever, we like to think of all the pleasant and magical things summer has to offer… in cooler places. (We know all about frying eggs on the sidewalk here in Phoenix!) That’s why we came up with the idea of fireflies in the forest. Can you think of a better cooler-summer idea than this? If you can, you come here and spend the summer avoiding cabin fever with us. We can share our pup daybeds and ice and lots of AC and pupsicles! We’ll take all your ideas and then you can go back home. I know, it’s another great idea. We have lots.
Yikes, Dad’s Day is coming…again!
Bonjour there. Well, now that Mother’s Day is over, it’s Dad’s turn. But what if you’re all tapped out in the imagination department? Spent it all on Mom. You can still try to make him laugh, right? Really, Dad’s are sooo easy. All you have to do is acknowledge that they exist and you’ve won the game again this year. Trust me!

Bonjour there. Don’t all moms like a good garage sale? Well we have a great one for anyone who cares about the happiness of MOM. You don’t even have to take her anywhere. It’s all in the card. She’ll be so satisfied that she’s been able to dig through all the dreck and pick out the really great items, that you’ll be a true hero in her book. So easy. I know, brilliant. You’ll look good when you give her this one! Trust me!
EEP! (Or I’m here to tell you it’s almost Spring.)
Well, it’s time for a new card and Spring is a good reason to make one. This year, I’m the big star. Or the little poop of a star, whichever you like. But I need some help from a friend, as it turns out. You can help with the story too if you like!
All clouds and cotton candy. This year, an ethereal valentine. Really high up there.
Bonjour there. This year, we’re way over the top with our Valentine’s Day offering. An ethereal statement. A real high altitude hit. It’s a Valentine Party in the sky and if you just try to imagine all those faces you’ve ever seen in the clouds, you’ll have to agree that they’re all here. It’s a Who’s Who from our imagination to yours. Happy Valentine’s Day!
