Singing Dogs celebrate Dad on Father’s Day

Send dad our new  heartfelt Dads are Heros ecard.  Dads do so much for us and rarely are they thanked enough.  How do we show dad we care?  Bennett and I decided to call our friend Peter, who creates Elmo’s music. We asked Peter to create some fun yet heartfelt lyrics for Doozy members to send their Fathers.   Peter created and sung the  fun Hawaiian lyrics  in our Hawaiian Doggie Fathers Day ecard and he created the music for Dad’s Dog Band.

We hope you’ll show the dads in your life you care with our new Father’s Day ecards and we wish you all a special Father’s Day!

AFTERMATH

Hi, this is Bennett again, Doozy’s organizational poobah and the voice of several critters of the ecards.

How was your Valentine’s Day? Mine was a washout, romantically speaking. I ought to have spent the day in a spa under the hands of a master masseur. I ought to have booked a flight to Cancun. I ought to have bought myself chocolate (is that the hedonist’s version of “I coulda had a V-8?”).

HOWEVER, President’s Day rocked! Romance came knocking with a sheepish look on it’s face and apologizing for taking a later train. Maybe my karma is the reverse of normal expectations? Friday the 13th turned out lucky too (knocking furiously on wood now).

Speaking of luck, our next holiday up is St. Patrick’s Day. Chandler and the production team are already cooking some fun-in-green for the occasion so prep your ecard mailing lists!

On Valentines, Chocolate, and Love

 

Hi, this is Bennett, Doozy’s Director of Operations and the voice of the Gecko and the Hamster (http://www.doozycards.com/new-cards-greeting-cards/valentine-strip-o-gram).

Are you in love? I’m not. Again. Well, not with a human being… I am completely in love with chocolate (dark, with almonds!). and if you are reading this and thinking of favoring me by sending me some, please know I prefer the expensive kind (sorry about that). So, being a bachelor on yet another Valentine’s Day I celebrate the day in two ways.

First, it’s a day to celebrate all the people I love and admire. I really do believe in love itself, in the most universal, profound sense. I believe that the value of being sweet to people and the value of beauty is that it evokes the experience of love inside the heart and mind. This is a kind of spiritual uplift when you offer it to someone. It creates the experience of love in your own heart at the same time. I truly believe in practicing that daily. So on Valentine’s Day I speak more sweetly, tell  more people they inspire me, and try to behave kindly and graciously because I think it makes for more love in the world all around.

Then there’s chocolate. Let me just say, Chandler is really good about giving chocolate, especially on Valentine’s Day. Everyone at Doozy gets some. And it’s the good stuff too! This reminds me; my new favorite ecard is the one we made this week; Fairy Choclate Valentine. Caroline animated it and she has this very rich sense of color. I think it’s sumptuous; see for yourself: http://www.doozycards.com/ecards/valentines-day/popular/fairy-chocolate-valentine . And then… and then.. just because we are Doozycards, we couldn’t make a lovely ecard and leave it alone. Oh no, we of course had have some fun with it. Here’s the “comic” version: http://www.doozycards.com/ecards/valentines-day/anti/perils-of-chocolate .

I hope you get lots of your favorite chocolate on Valentine’s Day. Please send lots of Doozy Valentines Day ecards; it will allow me to buy myself some truly decadent chocolates for myself and my friends. I hope love stays with you all year round.

Happy Fourth of July

It’s time to eat white frosted cakes with blueberry and strawberry flags, hamburgers, hot dogs and buttery corn on the cob.  Have you seen our new Talking Corn on the Cobb card?  It’s a perfectly corny and cute way to say hello to friends. You guys are loving the Latasha July 4th card  and she thanks you.  America the Beautiful, our staff favorite, is also flying off the servers. After you send ecards to everyone spreading more holiday cheer than all the fireworks, we hope you indulge yourself with a lot of holiday fun.
My kids are already furiously making flags out of long straws and flag napkins. They love them but we did have a little excitement when all of the napkins blew away and Oliver, my four year old, was running after them screaming.  He loves to scream.  He’s been doing it since the day he was born.
I personally can’ t wait to leap around with sparklers in my hands doing my Mitzi Gaynor imitation. The kids love it and it does help burn off all the “yunk food” as my little Cooper calls it. We hope you have a blast with family and friends, enjoy the fireworks and then rest and relax all day Saturday and Sunday.  Happy Birthday America!
