Well part of taking in animals is vet bills and to help with that I've decided to part with my collection. I'll be listing pieces as I go through boxes and have time. Those that don't sell quickly will go to EBay. Thanks everyone!

Welcome to the Holidays photo contest!
The photo contest is simple, following the guidelines you will need to submit a photo involving your ponies in some way celebrating either Christmas or another seasonal holiday. It could also be a winter or new year picture.

generation of pony doesn't matter, so it's open to G1-G4 and fakies can participate as well. I'll keep it all short and sweet for everyone.

Rules
-You may submit one photo for the contest. You're allowed to take extra angles of the set up that you've -created, to show off details but only one main photo to be submitted. You're allowed to edit your photo or change it till the contest cut off.  If you change it you must edit your original submission post. I cannot chase submissions all over the thread.
-The photo must include MLP but can have other toys ect included. Ponies should be the stars of it
-It must fall into some sort of Christmas/holiday, winter or new year theme
-must follow TOS of the arena
-Keeping the above in mind in order to receive a prize you must be within the age and trade limits given on the Arena
-Post your photos here in a spoiler and all will be put together at the end

Time Frame
open for entries- Nov 24th- Jan 1st
Judging- Jan 1st- 5th
winner will be announced after that & prize shipped (note I'm a slow shipper)

How the judging works
A poll will be placed on the arena for members to pick their favorite. The favorite Arena pick will be crowned the winner and receive a prize. 

Prize
The prize will be a G1 80's pattern plushie by myself with some modifications to the pattern. The winner will have the choice of picking a plush from what is currently made by the time of contests end. Right now I'm Working on some holiday ponies like Minty. It all depends on what I have done by contest end. The plush prize is not a commission prize, but a choice of what I have in stock. Sorry, I'm booked up on request of sewing projects right now for others.

Here is a link to my plushies as an example of what you would receive
-Plushies come from a non smoking but pet home. They are made from fleece or fleece like products, yarn hair, fabric painted eyes and mouths with felt hand sewn on symbols and parts of the eyes. They include a foam board in their feet and while I would think they are durable I'm not sure how well they will stand up to rough play or excessive washing. They were made for display. Because of the nature of the plushies and time it takes me to make one there will only be a first prize winner for this contest.

The prize is free shipping within the U.S. (I will ship the cheapest method possible. If you wish for extra things like insurance and tracking ect that will need to be covered by the winner)

If outside the U.S. the winner will have to either pay for shipping or pay the difference of shipping outside the states. Sorry! I typically cover it all myself, but it's hard to get my plushies in a box other than a 12x12x12 without having to smash them. Boxes that size do cost more in shipping than the smaller parcels I was able to send in contests past.

Examples

Forgive me if it says Halloween somewhere I was totally lazy and edited/copy and paste

I've been chatting with a woman on Facebook that I got my new rat boys from.  Ferrets came up in conversation a while back and she mentioned having one that needed a home as she couldn't keep him. She had rescued several rats and the ferret from a neglectful home but couldn't cover the medical bills he would need. Me being me curious about ferrets and wanting to help an animal in need took him in.

I've been reading so many articles since usually I research for months before getting one. He isn't in the best shape and is about five. He has fleas so trying to be gentle with him as he is very vey skinny. He is eating a good bit though. He has trouble with his back legs and my breeder friend said his previous neglectful owner said they were both broken at some point. He seems to hate the other animals and sort of wants to just be left alone. He has been tolerant of me though and taking him to the vet this week to see if he can be helped or if there are other issues at okay here other than just malnutrition.

Is it weird despite him being cranky and a turd I adore him already?

Sorry if I made a typo getting used to this new phone

I made a post in WYP about her, but this topic side of it is more positive and seeing if anyone has good information. I don't want this to turn into a debate. I actually tried a few FB groups but of course everyone posted and went nuts.

Anyway if you haven't seen My WYP post thshe short version is I adopted a dog last week, - schnoodle that looks similar to MTV suki that passed away last year.  The problem is she is extremely overweight.  The vet says she should weight 16 pounds and she weighs 36.

She got all her shots and is negative for Heart worms and had her thyroid checked.  It was determined it's just being overweight.  We are going to the vet next Saturday as my vet doesn't work hours o can go when I have work. I've only talked with him some over the phone.

She has a lot of trouble standing and walking so the vet advised we let her set her own pace and we walk a few times a day till she is tired.  A few things I need help with.

I can tell she isn't used to eating dog food and is being picky. I'm having to mix wet food with dry to kinda make her eat dry food. She is older so I'm going to have the vet check her teeth and make sure the crunchy food isn't hurting her to eat.  He suggested for now purina or science diet.

I thought I would ask you guys if anyone has had any luck with a good senior dog food with a sensitive tummy food?  I would need a dry and wet food combo I could mix for a while. Also, not to sound awful but I would prefer one mid range price.  I mean not the absolute most expensive but not the cheapest just filler food either. Something inbetween and since he suggested purina has anyone had any particular luck with one for their senior dogs?

Also, she is so large it's hard for her to stand or reach certain parts of her body. I noticed some of the fat rolls of skin on her underside were red and irritated almost like bed sores but no actual sores just irritated skin.  Is there something I could put on them for her?

Thanks everyone for any help you can give and please try to stay positive and constructive not rude.

Welcome to the Halloween photo contest!
I used to set these up for the holidays pretty often and haven't in years. It seems like a good one to kick these back in gear.  The photo contest is simple, following the guidelines you will need to submit a photo involving your ponies in some way celebrating with some Halloween spirit (including fall or other holidays within Oct). The generation of pony doesn't matter, so it's open to G1-G4 and fakies can participate as well. I'll keep it all short and sweet for everyone.

Rules
-You may submit one photo for the contest. You're allowed to take extra angles of the set up that you've -created, to show off details but only one main photo to be submitted
-The photo must include MLP but can have other toys ect included. Ponies should be the stars of it
-It must fall into some sort of Halloween or fall theme
-Scary, cute or silly doesn't matter long as everything follows the TOS of the arena
-Keeping the above in mind in order to receive a prize you must be within the age and trade limits given on the Arena
-Post your photos here in a spoiler and all will be put together at the end

Time Frame
open for entries- Oct 2-Oct 31st
Judging- Nov 1st -5th
winner will be announced after that & prize shipped (note I'm a slow shipper)

How the judging works
I will go through the photos submitted and with my co-host (FarDreamer) will pick the top five. A poll will be placed on the arena for members to pick their favorite. The favorite Arena pick will be crowned the winner and receive a prize.  If less than five members participate we will pick the winner without the need of a poll.

Prize
The prize will be a G1 80's pattern plushie by myself with some modifications to the pattern. The winner will have the choice of picking a plush from what is currently made by the time of contests end. Right now I have a blue variant Posey and a Snuzzle. I'm working on a Nightlight, G3 Minty and a secret Halloween style pony. It all depends on what I have done by contest end. The plush prize is not a commission prize, but a choice of what I have in stock. Sorry, I'm booked up on request of sewing projects right now for others.

FarDreamer has been kind enough to make a sample photo for those interested and wanting a starting point.

Now lets see how all your ponies celebrate Nightmare Night. 

I started off labeling this for spring, then summer and then just realized I had to do a giant brag for my purchases this year because some of them have been waiting for their turn for a while! This is mostly my purchases throughout this year and most are swap stuff because well I like swaps.

Pictures everywhere
