1. Introduce your team! Talk about your petz and why you chose them for your team.
So my team doesn't really have a "theme" per se, but I kind of wanted to choose petz that reminded me of my dog Zero, who died at the end of May last year. I was so heartbroken and devastated about it that I couldn't open Petz for months, which is why I didn't participate in last year's SumOly. </3
Cuddles is my oldest surviving pet. I adopted him way back in Petz II. ^^ Besides both being Bulldogs, he and Zero also shared a birthday - August 12th. I picked Cuddles to mentor the puppies on the team who I'll be naturally raising.
I got Byron from Amanda @ Cargo via Petz Life's 2023 Advent. Amanda had had a litter of brindle and white Bulldogs in the Duke's Group Advent some days earlier that I was upset I had missed, so I was happy to see another litter pop up during the Petz Life event! He reminds me so much of Zero, being a brindle and white Bulldog like he was, and I was so excited that I was able to claim him in time. <3
Gazelle is a Frenchie selective breed that Melissa @ Unique Petz gifted me back in 2021. She reminds me of my new RL French Bulldog, Luna, who I got last August. ^^
^ RL Luna
Rosie was a Christmas gift this past year from Nebula, who surprised me by loosely basing her markings on Zero's. T_T She's obviously very special to me because of that, and I've been looking forward to naturally raising her for SumOly this year. <33
Those are the four I've decided on for now, but I was thinking about maybe adding a more athletic dog and/or a cat as well later on if needed for any tasks. ^^

Cuddles has been doing a really good job being a mentor to all the puppies, and they've all really enjoyed his company so far! <3
Earlier I had Byron and Gazelle out to train for Thor's soccer game, and I had them both aged up because they were extremely clumsy as pups. Anyways, they ended up falling in love in that short amount of time, lol. (No puppies though because I spayed Gazelle right away to prevent any such accidents.)
They are still in love aged down as puppies. xD I expect that will stop at some point, but it sure is weird hearing adult sounds come out of their puppy mouths. xD
Byron and Rosie also get along...
And so do Gazelle and Rosie!
It's really nice having a team where no one is fighting so far. <3 We'll see if that lasts though, lol.

5. Team Spirit (pick one of the following): Make a post about your team with a team photo dressed in team colors
I always love dressing my team up in their team colors as one of the first tasks in SumOly, so I wanted to do that for my first Team Spirit task this year! <3 Here's my team all being silly dressed in black for Team Blackberry! ^_^

2. Capture a picture of your pet catching or attempting to catch a frisbee! +1 bonus point if they catch it.
Surprisingly, Gazelle was the only dog to catch the frisbee despite having pretty low acrobaticness. She caught it 3 times! Cuddles didn't even try (he's very loyal to his yellow frisbee which I didn't have in the backyard), and Byron and Rosie made multiple attempts without success.
