Jam-Packed Summer fun! | by Xoops

       I hope you have all had a wonderful summer! I know its not quite over yet, but fall is just around the corner and I know there are many of you excited for all things fall - cozy clothes, pumpkin spice lattes and other warm beverages, autumn baking, halloween, turkey dinner, and more!
       I certainly had a busy summer both petz-wise and in real life. Hopefully you got a chance to participate in some petzy events amidst your busy, hot summer?
       Let's see, there was Witzy's Petz Gameplay Contest with 10 daily challenges - I had a lot of fun with this, raising and getting to know my mutt mix, Sparks, and calico mix, Scramble. Although the contest and prizes are closed, you can still check out and complete the challenge for yourself if you'd like!
       I also participated in Teascape's Petzy Book Bingo which involved reading a book and completing petzy tasks inspired by your book choice. I completed the whole bingo card for several wonderful prizes, donated by many amazing members of our community! The bingo card tasks involved things like dressing your petz up as characters from the story, hexing something inspired from your book, creating stamps, writing reviews from your petz perspective and more. I hope Teascape plans another Book Bingo for the future because it was a lot of fun!
       Next there were a couple of WW hexing contests, the Pride Hexing Contest and a Beach day Hexing Contest. I only had time to participate in the latter though myself, and there was only one other entry for it, so we both won a prize! The Pride Hexing Contest had a few more entries and was won by Witzy for her lovely Rainbow Mutts!
Looking for stamps? Let me help!

🍂 Cyborg, Filthy Hippie, Lemonade, Oasis, PhantomBark, and Powerhouse have monthly stamps.

🍂 Rebecca, Lyric, Arie, and Echotooth have Stamps sales on WW.


       Bunni @ Funfetti ran the Miss Poodle Pageant on WW again this year which I also entered. I really enjoyed the pageant last year and it was just as fun this year, writing answers from my poodle's perspective and reading the interviews from the other entrants. Sadly my poodle, Aura, was not crowned Miss Poodle 2023, and after a three-way tie between some other entrants and a re-vote, that honor went to Klubnika, owned by Celia @ Filthy Hippie!
       There was also a July Breed week on WW for the Egyptian Mau! Having no Mau's in my crew I didn't participate other than to adopt a bunch of Mau's hah!
       Duke's Group ran the Summer Olympics again this year which was a month's worth of fun tasks and challenges to complete with your team and compete with others for a few petzy prizes and bragging rights at the end! This year's Summer Olympics were won by Team Coconut. Second place went to Team Sunbeam, which I was on, and third to Team Firefly.
       So what's going on for September? Well first we have another WW Breed Week on its way - the Dachshund! And starting later in the month, the Duke's Group Fall Festival, which was SO MUCH FUN last year, so hurry up and plan your booth and get ready to participate in games, challenges, and more!
       Don't forget to keep October events in mind as well, sounds like there may be quite a few, so start planning and getting prizes and/or donations and things prepped early!

A Poll for the Ages | by Xoops

       With 51 votes, this isn't totally accurate, but I'd say its not a bad representation of the ages within the Petz Community. I do know for a fact though that there are a few more in the 16-20 group.
       I love seeing that there are several in the 13-20 ages and in the 36+ age groups, not only indicating that this game and community are still drawing in a younger crowd, but we're keeping (or perhaps drawing in) some of our older members as well. This also tells me what a wonderful game and community this is - that it is far from a simple kids game but rather a game for all ages and that whether you are 13 or 40, we can still be friends and bond over our shared love of petz. ❤
