Week One : Challenge One
1. Take out a pet you have never played with and try to find them a friend
Meet Duke!
He's a lovely little kitty that's sure to impress royalty! I got him from yetanothercookie on PUGS!
My first place was to introduce him to the list of pets I've gotten most recently, but my very first try was a dog I named Duchess, as her markings/colors reminded me of Lady from Lady and the Tramp. Such a pretty girl <3
But they instantly hit it off! Kept wrestling and grooming each other, so I'm happy with the results Duke and Duchess!

Week One : Challenge Two
2. Have a pet dress themselves up by putting out tons of clothes in the clothes closet, and using an auto-rolling ball
For this challenge, I also chose a newer pet of mine! He's been sitting in a folder for a while, and needs some TLC, for sure! Certainly this can't go poorly.
His name is Nicholas! He's a lovely mix, with a poodle personality! He likes to prance around, and does NOT like to show pose, so he's mostly for fun! He enjoyed hunting down the auto-rolling balls
Pretty wide variety of possibilities... Let's see what the rolling balls decide!
He managed to not only get a matching hat and glasses, but an almost identical pose as well! (You can tell he's just a bit turned, I swear I didn't dress him xD that will become CLEAR as we continue)
Interesting shirt choice... Bright, but maybe that's the color you need!
Aaaand a blue plaid skirt. Well! I'm all for breaking those gender stereotypes! Why else would I put that out while you're prancing around, Nick?
He feels pretty LOL well as long as he's happy! He also got to play with the auto-rolling ball for a bit after this

Week One : Challenge Three
3. Play with a pet of the species that you prefer less (if you prefer catz, play with a dog)
Soooo I went a little off the rules (forgive me!) but I equally love catz and dogz! Honestly I probably would have chosen a pig, but I don't even own any! (And can't really adopt any right now LOL) so, bunnies it is!
Meet Blueberry! I only have a handful of bunnies, and Blueberry is one I got from Easter 2023! My first event in the Petz community was the 2022 Easter egg hunt, and I adopted a rabbit then too. I hope to keep up this tradition for many years to come! Blueberry is a lovely little bun hexed by Simplearcticfoxes! I love his little scared runs and his flops, he's such a cutie.
As you'll soon notice, I decided to try and only give him blue toys to play with! They compliment him so well, he's such pretty colors! Absolutely love this little bunbun!
He really had 0 interest in the hoop, just kept batting at it, but I could tell he was getting sleepy though.
Nap time for you, then! Goodnight, Blueberry <3

Week One : Challenge Four
4. Try to find out which of your catz are tricksters
This one actually taught me how to identify trickster catz! I've never really tried trick-training catz, only had a few accidentally show tricks off when I'm working with a dog or something LOL
Quick pictures of Softfur from PeachPup, Zebra Cakes from Tybaxel, and Raspberry Tea from Pinto! All of these guys, dangling from treats or just uninterested, in Softfur's case, are not trickster catz! There's nothing wrong with that, but eventually I'll need a trickster for this challenge!
Lucky for me, Missy delivered easily!
Giving a cute little pose with the paws up, he showed interest in the treats! I only got a few tricks out of him, particularly a flop down and a hop to the side!
Thank you, Missy!

Week One : Challenge Five
5. See how many treats it takes to get your pet to do a fat waddle
Today we're using the lovely Nilla! She's a hex made of my partner's cow fursona, made by the ever-amazing Gilda @ Rodent Library!
I'll be honest, I quickly lost track of the number somewhere around 53??? It was SO MANY! Note: I started Nilla at 0 fatness, just to really test it out.
While just letting them eat over and over, eventually they hit a good chunky weight and started to waddle!!!
And immediately fell asleep lmao

Week One : Challenge Six
6. Do some obedience training, teach a pet to come, sit, and down
Meet Rocky! Does he look familiar? He's actually a hex of a Paw Patrol character! I had him hexed for my partner, and we share custody on him now He was made by the lovely LunarLex!!! I absolutely adore him.
Of course, being a member of the Paw Patrol, he HAS to be very obedient, right? ...Right???
Oh thank god, he actually is. I got worried! He's a good boy, runs around a bit but generally wants to come to my hand Good boy!
Down? Nailed it, no problem! He has such a sad fact but he's such a cutie~
He does a silly sit and a normal sit, the normal one looking very similar to his normal pose up above!
Such a good boy, and learned FAST! He did MAYBE one wave first, but with down he instantly laid down, I would have accepted an alert lay down too but the full rest was too cute to pass up.

Week One : Challenge Seven
7. Create a cute graphic to show off some petz and share it on a forum or discord
With this one, I really wanted to work with my small pets! I'll be honest, it's 100% inspired by the Tom Cardy song Perception Check. PLEASE listen to it, you'll see why I randomly wanted to appreciate the littles!
With that said, here they are!
Moving clockwise from the top little hotdog dog, we have Relish from Audaxity Milkball from Lobb @ Folderol Fat Neil from Buck @ Medusa Alhena from Shaina @ Kizmet Icing from Rebecca @ Down The Rabbit Hole Pint from Rebecca @ Down The Rabbit Hole Eirwen from Tybaxel @ Clearwater Galina from Mortis Skinstealer @ Bad Death Squeak from Buck @ Medusa Achieng from Dew @ Insanity Ranch Firecracker from Nebula @ Poppy Hill
So many smalls! I probably have MORE in my crew but I think this is a good sample of them!
And with that, my challenges are DONE! I may or may not update this thread if I fail this week, but otherwise, I'll be back to work when the next week's challenges are up >:3

Week Two: Challenge One
1. Play with one of your oldest or most fave companion pet and tell us all about them
I have a handful of petz I've had for a while, but this is definitely one of the oldest, at least in terms of when I bred him and kept him, not based on birthday alone.
This is Colby! His name was previously Midnightsky back when I was renaming all my petz to be Warrior Cats names, but Colby just fit him. His showname is Lyric's Heat Coming Off The Blacktop! He... Has never even been shown. He's not good at posing LOL He's a lovely solid black pup! He's a Sylvan Shepherd and Cape Hunting Dog mix. It doesn't show much, does it? I've gone back and forth for AGES about brexing his eyelids black, and I'm still on the fence! For now, they stay white. He might not be one for showing, but he's interested in other activities! He likes to do tricks a lot of times.
Colby is also VERY interested and totally okay with being dressed up! Something I definitely didn't expect from him, but it suits him! He's such a well-behaved boy.
I'm sad to say, I don't have much to note about him? He's on my ever-growing list of petz I want to go back to, play with, maybe teach some tricks, all of that. He's a good boy!
Thanks for hanging out, Colby <3

Week Two: Challenge Two
2. Decorate a playscene for an upcoming holiday and have a pet help you decorate
Decided to use two of my site mascots for this task! We're gonna decorate the Family Room with Coda and Helios!
Coda is the halfie dali! His showname is Lyric's I Hear A Symphony. He was actually my first real hex/brex project. I wanted to make a dog that was all my favorite things, to the best of my ability. He came out almost perfect, but knowing my skills now I think I could do better, but I also can't get rid of him. I love him so much!
Helios is the unique breed! He's a mix of some Sylvan Shepherds and a Cape Hunting Dog, much like Colby from Challenge One! His show name is Lyric's All Was Golden When The Day Met The Night. A long name, I know, and he also hasn't been shown yet, I don't believe! He's very hard to pose correctly given his hexed breedz, but god he's just so pretty!
Most of the decorating I did myself, but these two made such cute little presents too. Helios is ready to be shipped off!
Coda had a bit of an issue with the snowball, and with the Bentley plush! He kept getting scared of it and running around, then he was focusing his anger on tackling the plush LOL
Helios, on the other hand, worked up an appetite watching his 'brother' run around like a fool. Pumpkin spice latte time for him!
By the end of it though, they seemed happy enough with the decorations I pulled out! I gave 'Bentley' a fresh latte after Helios stole his LOL! They were NOT happy being moved between the Toy Closet and the Family Room that whole time, but I think they forgive me!
Happy Holidays, everyone!
