Dog Week Seasonal Shop
Site Update
*
The Seasonal Shop is now officially open!
If you were lacking in appropriate attire for the Dog Park, the Dog Trainer ensemble might catch your eye!
(Seriously, I saw some of you running around in formal dresses out there. I hope you know of a local dry cleaner.)
The "training" set of dogs are all wearable, and if you layer them juuust right, you'll look like a professional dog walker!
You can play with the Dog Trainer and Training dog HA items in the preview wardrobe feature to see if they're staples you want in your closet. :3
For our fauna lovers, we have a few cute toys/fauna that you can attach to your beloved pets!
That piggie doesn't seem to be in the best shape, though, so you might want to treat your pet to some snacks before tossing a toy their way.
The Tin of Dog Food is a hunger item that works as a nice incentive, as are the energy-inducing Bag of Treats!
Though the Magic Kibble looks deliciously edible, it's sneaky--it's actually a breeding add-on!
Compatible with BC and HBC breedings only, this item tells your breeding artist to give the offspring small dog accessory edits (like a collar or toy).
You'll also see the familiar Red Collar hanging out in the store for an intentionally high price since the Museum collection prize is fairly easy to obtain. :3
We also have two random potion items to introduce!
The Dog Park Brew (park-looking potion) will turn your active pet into a random Dog Park adventure region pet, whereas
the Dog Week Potion (fire hydrant) will turn your active pet into one of the Seasonal Shop pets.
Here's a taste of what you'll find in the Dog Week Potion:
We hope you enjoy your new pets!
Oh! The New Dog Leash is just a collectable, whether you'd like to keep it as a souvenir, add it to your gallery, pelt a friend with it, etc.! c:
The shop is open through Sunday, September 29 at 11:59 p.m.
(And if you're waiting on a Luxury Collar, you should get that tomorrow evening, but you can still donate through the deadline above. There's dog slobber all over my inbox and I'm trying to wade through it!)

Seasonal Shop Reminder!
Site Update
Evening, folks!
This is your obligatory warning to not try to take anything from under Lorin's paws until the official news post is up.
(read: I'm working on the Seasonal Shop and you are advised not to purchase anything until I make the opening announcement.)
As usual, prices, functions, etc. are all subject to change, and we will not issue refunds for premature purchases.
If you're feeling antsy about the shop or want to suggest some pet description ideas, stop by my thread here in Aywas Talk.
Thanks! :3

Site Pet PSDs - Submit what we don't have!
Pets
This is a VERY important announcement regarding our site pets. Please read carefully! :D
For the past 3 years since I took an active role in the pet department, a large team of helpers has helped me go from 2 site pet PSDs to over 2800 site pet PSDs in our hands, completely organized, and accessible to our breeding artists.
But, we have over 5000 site pets on site. So we're missing about 2,200 PSDs and obviously we want to have as many of these PSDs as possible.
And with a huge thanks to Eveglori, we now have a spreadsheet of every single PSD we don't have!
So here is where you come into play. I'm sure there are users out there, either the original artists, or people who got their hands on the PSD, that have PSDs we do not have.
What we want you to do, is to check this spreadsheet. This spreadsheet lists all the pets we don't have PSDs for. If you have one listed there, send it to [email protected] with the subject of the email being the name of the pet and the genus (ex. "Binary Melo"). You can send more than one PSD in a single email, just list all of their names and genera in the subject.
Please do not send it to any other email, as that often happens.
We are not looking for remakes of the PSDs. We are mainly looking for the original PSDs that the original artist made.
Together we can get closer to completing our collection!
Note: If you're the original artist of a PSD that we do not have and the PSD file is lost/gone completely, we'd love to know that too. We can then mark that PSD as "lost" and not prioritize it when we're searching for them. Or if it's gone and you know you had sent it to ____ user at some point, that'd be helpful to know too.
