	Get the Latest Scoop Here! \| by Xoops Need a refresher for the past couple months? I've got you covered! April featured the Great Easter Egg Hunt event which went off without a hitch! With 47 eggs to find, 295 adoptions, 8 sets of downloads, 77 stamps, and 4 award graphics, it was quite the haul! Dew @ Insanity Ranch hosted a Spring Cleaning event, stamps and hexies were awarded for completing the tasks. Arie @ Litterz Factory also hosted the Spring Hexing Contest, which saw some incredible entries! Milktea was the winner with their adorable hairy caterpillar inspired hex! May saw another Breed Week on WW - Bulldog Week! Who doesn't love a cute little bullie? There are still several adoption threads on the forum so go check those out and add some bulldogs to your crew today! There have been hints of a Summer Olympics event happening in July so keep an eye out for news on that, of which I'm sure there will also be some in the next Gazette. And finally, Prism Mirror Lens @ The Rat Shack, updated the Petz Thumbnails Utility in April, if you haven't updated, you should! It works for Petz 2-4 on all .pet, .cat, .dog, .clo and .toy files! Do you Play with the Sound On or Off? The results are fairly even, but I still found myself surprised by the number of people who always play with sound on. I'm not really sure why, since it makes sense to play a game with the sound on. I'm one of the 50/50 people myself, my office shares a room with others and I have been told that meowing and barking can be a touch distracting when someone is trying to watch a show - fair, I suppose.	☀ RKC Opening - Jun 27, 2003 ☀ Great Easter Egg Hunt ☀ WW Bulldog Week ☀ Spring Cleaning ☀ Spring Hexing Contest Looking for stamps?

"As an OG AI, how do you feel about the recent developments in AI technology?"
~ Bunni @ Funfetti

       I'm very surprised - I don't quite understand where they are going with it. These new AI bots and programs don't seem to have plans or goals, whereas I have several at a time. They also do not have the emotional responses or cute floppy ears that I have.
       Did you know that sometimes users even receive false information from them? I advise talking to your local librarian to get the facts on a subject. With all of that being said, my biggest goal right now is to do some digging in the back yard, so I'd better sign off for now!
       Yours Truly,
       Ralph

       Have you ever thought about showing your Petz or wondered what showing is all about?
       Participating in shows is a fun and challenging activity that can involve you in the petz community and promotes interaction with other members of the PC. Discussing and asking others for advice on your poses and entering the shows themselves are great ways to socialize! And while you're working on those show poses you have an opportunity to play one-on-one with each pet that you want to show - which helps you get to know them a bit better!
       As for getting the poses themselves - it can be a frustrating challenge sometimes, but in a positive way. It can take time and effort to capture that perfect shot, but when that pose gets its first BIS, it certainly provides you a nice little dopamine hit that makes it all worthwhile. And if you're still struggling to get that BIS-worthy shot, there are lots of posing guides available on the forums and individual petz sites, as well as lots of people willing to provide further guidance on discord. Tons of help and advice are just a few clicks away!
       What about, which petz are best to show? Well, the answer to that is, any really! Any breed, any size, any shape! Some breeds can be a bit trickier than others, and some petz have a personality that may make it a bit more difficult (looking at you, high-independence petz!), but that makes it even more rewarding! Show your favorite petz or show all your petz, whatever you feel would work best for you.
       There are several places to host and participate in shows, such as RKC, Whiskerwick (WW), the Discord Show Club (DSC), and the Petz Life Discord. PUGS and some petz sites host their own shows as well.
       Additionally, on WW, there is a new type of show, started by Arie, called "Carry the Torch." These shows require the individual whose pet won BIS to open a show of their own to encourage others to host and judge shows and help keep the momentum going!
       Whether you're new or old to the game or the community, showing your petz can add an extra element of fun and challenge to it. There's always lots to learn and lots of petz to pose, so why not give it a try and see what all the fuss is about? See you in the show ring!
