Welcome to the Anniversary MYO Sushi Dog Event!!
Thanks for being interested in our species and event! To celebrate ten years of Sushi Dogs we are running a FREE MYO event for all members who have not participated in the past! Please be sure to read the rules carefully before submitting!
Rules & Information
Open to All Members (without an ANN Soosh) | Sep 01 - Sep 30 @ 11:59pm
For this event, we are allowing every new user during the month of September to create 1 (one) free Sushi Dog design! This is open to First-Time Owners (FTOs) and long-time members who have not participated in this event in the past!
But here's the catch! We want to hear about a food that means a lot to you and see the Sushi Dog based on it! Sushi Dogs created for this event will be labeled under the "ANN" category rather than MYO (i.e. ANN-001: Mac and Cheese)
Rules
• To participate in this event, you must fill out the form at the bottom of the page. This includes a prompt to write at least 250 words about a type of food that means a lot to you! Once ready, please comment below.
• The Sushi Dog you create must be at least loosely based on the food that you selected to write about!
• All art and design must be completed by the person submitting it! No collaborations or assistance is allowed.
• If a correction needs to be made you will be contacted either via reply or Discord if you choose to include it. Pending submissions are valid up to one week after Sep 30 @ 11:59 pm to allow for corrections. You will be notified before the week deadline.
• Any soosh created under this event is LOCKED to your account. This means you cannot trade them, sell them, gift them, or surrender them to the mirror.
• If you decide later you no longer want the design, it must be RETIRED as a Sushi Dog. They will remain on the site after retiring for archival purposes using the "RTD" tag.
• All Sushi Dogs submitted via this event must be ALL STANDARD traits. No items will be allowed to help speed up our approval process. You may apply items later once your design has been approved and registered.
• These rules may be updated later upon community questions and concerns. Please be sure to read through it one last time before submitting your design in case something has changed!

Sushi Dog Design: https://sta.sh/0gyq6kmcpo
(TW for Animal Death & Mentions of Animal Abuse) I thought a sentimental design would be appropriate for an anniversary sushi dog, so I based this design off of my childhood dog Delilah, who passed away in June 2018. Delilah was a rehabilitated 'bait dog' rescued from an illegal dog-fighting ring before she came to me at age ten. Because I don't want to traumatize anyone who might read this, I won't elaborate on what a 'bait dog' is, just know that Delilah was understandably very skittish and afraid of people and other animals because of her background. I was ten years old and bugging my parents for a puppy, but instead, I adopted Delilah, which my parents weren't keen on at first because she would growl and bark at people and was generally afraid of everything. I still wanted her, even though she wasn't a puppy like I had originally asked for. I don't remember what it was that drew me to her over any other puppy or dog I could have picked, but ten-year-old me must have had great perception, because Delilah would come to be the sweetest and most loyal companion a person could hope for. It was a lot of work for a little kid to earn such a frightened animal's trust (and required a lot of sneaky treats of people food that my parents didn't know about lol). Delilah crossed the rainbow bridge after a brief battle with cancer. We didn't know for certain how old she was, since she was an adult when we adopted her, but the vet estimated her to be 16 to 17 years old. I don't know how many years she spent in that terrible situation and what exactly she went through, but I hope that the 10+ years we had together were happy enough to make up for it. I thought a sushi dog to honor her memory would be a nice comfort for me. I would love to use an item in the future to give her angel wings to match her halo. ♥
EDIT: Whoops, almost forgot! I consent that by submitting this design, I am unable to transfer it for any reason, on any platform, unless I retire them from the Sushi Dog species and that they will unable to be reverted back once complete.
