Bonkers, one of our most popular cards, is now larger than life at the Whole Foods Market flagship store!

We are so excited to unveil our new Verysupercool display, which has Bonkers keeping a watch over the freshly groomed and recently expanded pet aisle. Whole Foods has done an amazing job of repackaging the entire store, and now they have more local products than ever! Since we use renewable energy, plant trees, buy carbon offsets, AND use only 100% post consumer waste paper our green greeting cards really fit in with their Whole Philosophy.

My husband and I moved to Austin in the late seventies and we both remember shopping at Safer Way, the pre-Whole Foods store, back when it was in an old house. Since Verysupercool launched in November 2005, our green greeting cards with soul have been featured in both Austin Whole Foods Market locations. We are thrilled to have a vendor relationship with the store that, for decades, has been such a big part of our lives. Thanks again Whole Foods!

P.S. Bonkers’ parents live in downtown Austin and shop here all the time. This is their Whole Foods! They were surprised and are elated that their boy has such a prominent presence in their favorite store.

Austin Tidbits says, “Forego the typical, go for the Verysupercool!”

October 18, 2007 – Forego typical greeting cards and give a pup some praise. Austin-based company, VerySuperCool, specializes in doggie-themed cards printed on 100% post-consumer waste paper.

Pet Peeves: Having his ears cleaned, and those despicable paper towel rolls.

Pet Passions: Food, water, children, yoga, and Pica Chu (a huge stuffed toy that is as round as he is.)

Breed: English Bulldog

Age (at the time of photo session): 9 months

Story: At 9 months and sixty pounds, Bonkers definitely turns heads. He’s full of personality and sports a very impressive under bite that is best appreciated in profile.He goes absolutely bonkers for water and has proven that he can’t be trusted near public fountains. Food and people (children especially) are his real passion – he has never met a food or person that he did not love. When Bonkers encounters children, he immediately bows down and lays at their feet!

EVEN MORE ABOUT BONKERS…

We loved meeting and photographing Bonkers, although we had to mop the floors after he left our house! He is a major drooler, but we didn’t care. Allan was scratching his butt in the photo of Bonker’s that ended up being a greeting card, that’s how we got him to stay put. The pose was his idea though. He’s a funny looking boy!Some friends of Bonker’s took his greeting card to her classroom and has the kids do their best to draw Bonkers. Below is one of my favorites:
