We’ve all been there. That moment when your friend is staring at you with arms crossed, foot tapping, and with one judgmental face. Yep, you forgot their birthday. Your only hope for redemption is to distract them. But how? Take the traditional route — put a bulldog in a swing! Who could resist those floppy cheeks grinning ear to ear as they blow in the breeze?

Don’t have access to a bulldog? We’ve got you covered with our newest eCard, Swinging Bulldogs. We sat down with the artist behind the swing, Kristen Gish, to find out more.

1) How often do you see bulldogs in swings?
Less often than babies in swings, but more often than cats in swings.

2) Were any animals harmed in the making of this eCard?
No animals were harmed, but my heart was harmed because I couldn’t actually meet the bulldogs in person.

3) Have you ever forgotten someone’s birthday and tried to distract them with something cute?
I guess I forgot my parents’ birthdays as a baby, and then distracted them by being a cute baby. They kept me, so it turned out pretty good.

If you’ve forgotten a birthday, make an adorable distraction by sending Swinging Bulldogs!
