✦ Spring Blossom Festival ✦

This year for the Spring Blossom Festival, we are bringing back a Sushi Dog classic with a good old-fashioned Easter Egg Hunt!

Hunt down 20 different eggs across the website for prizes within! Five special eggs may even have a Sushi Dog to claim as your own inside, but you have to act fast! Whoever is the first one to claim each soosh will be the winner. (Only one soosh can be won per person!). Every other egg will have a small carat prize, and if you manage to find them all, you will be entered into a raffle for the grand prize! Stay tuned for the date below for more information!

  

The event is currently scheduled for April 23rd @ 3 pm EST

(This date may be pushed back, depending on the circumstances. This is the first time I have held an event like this, and it may take me some more time to get it set up.)
On the morning of April 23rd, the site will be in maintenance mode while I prepare. Nothing will be accessible at this time.

Please note that all members, including mods, are eligible for participation. Mods do not have an advantage, as Kayy will be the one hiding them without consulting others.

✦ Soosh Salon Progress ✦

We are still working through our updates to the Sushi Dog Salon and hope to have an update officially up by the end of April!

✦ General Housekeeping ✦

• There has been some general confusion regarding our policy on purchasing Sooshes you put in the mirror yourself. While I do not see the overall benefit, as you are spending a large number of carats unnecessarily and taking away opportunities for someone to connect with a Sushi Dog they may love, we ask that you please refrain from purchasing your own Sushi Dogs from the mirror that you put in. There is no way for us to strictly monitor this beforehand, but if we continue to see this being an issue, we will put something in place to prevent this. We want to avoid doing so, though, as it will severely slow down our team's work process by making the entire process manual. Thank you for understanding.

• In the coming days, there will be an update to the trait guidelines with more visual examples. This will help clearly outline what each trait allows and give you some inspiration for your next MYO.

And that's all for this month! It's a pretty short newsletter this time, but we have a lot of things cooking!
