✦ Happy March, Sushi Rolls! ✦
This month is a bit relaxed before we roll into the new season. Enjoy the break and prepare for our next seasonal event in April!
If you have any questions, please ask us in the community discord server. Enjoy!
✦ Soosh of the Month! ✦
Month of March
Bibimbap
Owned by Robotic-Sparks
Remember, you could be featured next month by drawing the above soosh!
✦ Events Ending ✦
The Holiday Shoppe will remain open until March 7th; the frozen tickets will no longer be purchaseable after the raffle is rolled on the 2nd so don't forget to grab those before then!
These prompts will end after the 7th, so please check them out before they go!
On a similar note - there is no estimated hiring date for the mod applications. This is a lengthy process that requires numerous steps on our end, so we appreciate patience for anyone who has applied. We look forward to every application!
✦ Season of Spring ✦
Similar to Snowfall Festival, this event will have main quests and subquests to earn some event currency for some new items and prizes!
We hope you look forward to it!
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!

✦ Happy February, Sushi Rolls! ✦
Back with another news update!
This one is packed with info that we feel may be important to the community such as: Return of the Soosh (of the Month), Mid-Event Update for Snowfall Festival, Nitro Booster Perks, a "Sweet" Holiday next month, and more details about the mod restructuring! (P.S. We are hiring!)
Please scroll down to read more!
If you have any questions, please ask us in the community discord server. Enjoy!
✦ Return of the Soosh (of the Month)! ✦
Due to not having the prompt to raffle off of, I raffled every single prompt entry done by January 30th to find a winner for February!
Peppermint Popcorn
Owned by CarrsCrap
Remember, you could be featured next month by drawing the above soosh!
✦ Mid-Event Update ✦
During all of the commotion, it seems like Festival Cookie and Festival Zero found a forgotten gift for you! (Or maybe it was just misplaced in the chaos...)
Check out the Holiday Shoppe!
Writing is now allowed!
Sorry - when creating the event we had been so distracted that we did not realize writing requirements were left out of the prompts!
We have rectified this for the mid-event update (once we clarified if we had a mod ready to read your writings). We hope this allows more members to fully participate in the event!
The prompts already state the requirements, but as a refresher: Writings must be 500 words at the minimum. You can get a writing bonus of +50 Carats if you write 1000 words! Character bonuses also apply to writing, so you can earn an extra few Candycanes as well.
Raffle Prize Reveal
We know many have been wondering what the Snowfall Raffle was for; we wanted to gauge the participation in the event before fully settling on prizes and you guys did so well we added 5 more prizes to the pool! This means there will be six winners overall.
6th and 5th will win: a Haute Potion! 
4th and 3rd will win: a Sooshapon Token! 
2nd will win: an Enchanted Bell! 
1st will earn the Grand Prize: the Snowdeer Cake Sushi Dog!
This winter-ful soosh has the Magic Aura trait that you can earn in this event!
We hope that this raffle reveal brings more excitement to players who did not have a set plan for their candycanes.
Thank you, everyone!
This event was a team effort behind the scenes. There may have been a few hiccups but we are very thankful to see how excited our community has been, and admiring all of the prompt entries that you guys have put so much love into!
We hope you can look forward to more events in the future.
✦ Nitro Booster Perks ✦
We have been doing Nitro Booster Perks in the discord server for over a year, and found consistent members partaking in them (thank you)!
It required a few test perks that have been shifted and adjusted over the year, but as of now we can officially state the perks we are sticking with:
If you use 1 boost on the server, you get 3 Koinpeito 
every month you boost!
If you use 2 boosts on the server, you get 5 Koinpeito every month!
Lastly: You will gain a free event item when events are running! January was the Pet Box item.
As an extra bonus, every nitro booster gains access to themed Your-Soosh-Here bases created by Staryon - this is always available to any and everyone who boosts.
Consider these monthly perks as a passive income for the site!
Boosts allow our server to have a banner (and thus hold banner contests), as well as gaining us new emote and sticker slots.
We even have a custom url!
The discord server is the hub to everything Sooshes, so check it out!
✦ Mod Restructuring ✦
Kayy explained last month about the restructuring.
This was an overdue task to reassign mod duties as we find ourselves growing older and gaining new responsibilities in our lives.
(You're not the only ones growing up, Sushi Rolls!)
This should make the group run far smoother than before.
We do apologize for the delays and unanswered inquiries the community has dealt with in the past. Our focus is always on the community's enjoyment of our cute food species, so we hope you can feel as cherished as you are!
You'll find that the redesign queue is reopened, and also more consistency in other site workings including the newsletter!
The other mods have been doing wonderfully in their new roles, so be sure to thank them in sticking with us as we continue to adjust to our different needs.
Now Hiring!
We just needed January to test out these new duties and see what may be missing.
And well... we're in need of one more mod!
We are looking for a new approval mod; this mod will work under Rannarbananar to help approve MYOs, redesigns, and update appraisals.
This task isn't as easy as it sounds - you'll need to be knowledgeable on our traits, theme allowances, and learn how to appropriately appraise any and all Sooshes!
It can be daunting at first but we believe anyone can do it. You'll be trained for the role, and will gladly answer any and all questions you will have regarding the approval process. Just click the button below to find the mod application; we look forward to hearing from you!
Join the Team!
✦ Something Sweet in the Air... ✦
Wait - I think both works?
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!

✦ Happy New Year Sushi Rolls! ✦
After a much-needed break, our mod team is back in action! There have been a few changes to the site and we hope that you like them. I will be breaking down each change in the below sections, but first, a teaser for our next event!
✦ Enchanted Mirror ✦
To surrender a soosh to the mirror, please click "Submit" and then "Surrender." Please allow up to 5 days for your soosh to be accepted, and make sure you submit their toyhouse to Pommelraie as well!
There are a ton of new sooshes for you to buy, including ones to buy with mirror shards now!
✦ Winter Snowfall Festival ✦
✦ Website Updates ✦
Mod Structure
Pommelraie’s Salon
Introducing the newest addition to Pommelraie’s salon; the Redesign Kit!
This kit is available for 1000
or 10, and acts as a tonic bypass for your new redesign! If you plan on using more than two tonics, this item is required. We know that our tonic system was a bit confusing, for both the community and the mod team! We hope that this new item relieves stress on both ends when completely overhauling a design! Additional items will still be needed in addition, if you plan on upgrading traits.Species Structure
Please note that verbiage is still be updating across the site, so please hang tight while things are revised.
Species Guides
This page will be a much more familiar layout of common closed species guides and hopefully will be more useful for new members. Hang tight, it’s coming!
What’s that?
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!
As always, feel free to comment or send us a message if you have any questions!

We hope you enjoyed all of the spooky sooshes for October and are ready to jump right into November! As usual, there will not be a large event this month, and our December calendar is already quite full! Please read below for all the news for this month, including the beginning preparations for December!!
✦ Enchanted Mirror ✦
The enchanted mirror is now open for the next week! The mirror will close on November 19th.
To surrender a soosh to the mirror, please be sure to click "Submit" and then "Surrender". Please allow up to 5 days for your soosh to be accepted, and make sure you submit their toyhouse to Pommelraie as well!
✦ Secret Soosh Signups ✦

A particular favorite activity is the exchanging of art between sooshes in the "Secret Soosh" event! So come sign up and get paired with a random secret partner in this exciting art exchange event!
Only 50 members will be accepted for organizational reasons, so sign up soon!

✦ Dream Soosh Custom Raffle ✦
November 12 - Nov 30 @ 11:59pm EST
Yes! Our dream soosh raffle is back again for our 2022 Winter Advent Calendar. For the past three years, the final spot in our annual advent calendar has been reserved for a free custom by fawncore for a random member of the sushi dogs community. This year is no different!
To enter, simply fill out the entry form using the link below. The winner will be decided by random chance, with the design revealed on December 25th. More information and rules are provided on the dream soosh giveaway entry form. Entries close on November 30.
✦ 2022 Advent Calendar ✦
And to go ahead and tease this year's advent calendar, we are doing things a little bit differently this year! No, no, we will still be doing 25 sooshes revealed each day!
This time though, we will be teasing who that soosh may suit! Do you like snowflakes? Or maybe you're more into gingerbread men! We won't be showcasing the food in advance, but rather a taste of their colors and who they would fit well as a gift for! There will be a bit more variety this way, so we hope that if you don't celebrate Christmas or any winter holidays, you still may find something for this cozy season!
And that's all for this month! We hope you are as excited as we are!

✦ Free MYO Event ✦
Open to All Members without an ANN Soosh | Ends Sep 30th
Like last year, we are hosting an event that allows any member to make one all-standard Sushi Dog for free, granted that they did not do so during the event last year! Yes, you read that right! From now until Sep 30 @ 11:59 pm EST you can submit a Sushi Dog design of your very own and if everything looks correct, they will be approved and uploaded! There are a few rules for this event though:
1. Any sooshes created for this event will be LOCKED to your account! This means you can never sell, trade, surrender or gift them.
2. If you wish to no longer own them, the design must be RETIRED as a Sushi Dog.
3. All Sushi Dogs submitted must be standard, regardless of if you have items or not. If you wish to add gourmet traits or bells, you must do so at a later time by updating the design. This is for efficiency for our team getting everything uploaded quickly.
4. By submitting a design via this event, you are agreeing and consenting that you understand the above rules, and will not try to circumvent them.

✦ Prompt Questline: Your Sushi Dog Journey ✦

June Newsletter
Posted 30 May 2022, 11:05:39 EDT :: Last edited 1 June 2022, 12:40:34 EDT by Staryon✦ Happy June, Sushi Rolls! ✦
Let's jump right into this month's updates!!
✦ Important Trait Updates ✦
Hello everyone, we have decided to be stricter on design rules. We have had many weird situations with traits, so we are trying to tackle them down and clarify what is no longer allowed. We will be fixing rules and adding new traits in the near future, so we hope to share more with you guys soon. We have decided that:
New Gourmet Trait: Spikes
We will no longer allow spikes/horns anywhere on the body aside from the head and tails if using the Chimera Tail Trait, without this trait.
New Gourmet Trait: Fins
We will no longer allow fins anywhere on the body aside from the tail if using the Chimera Tail Trait, without this trait.
• We will no longer allow staple tails to mimic food via the use of accessories. This will be case by case, but if it looks like food and isn't listed as such, it will probably be rejected.
• We will no longer allow accessories to mimic traits. This includes horn headbands, clips, harnesses, etc.
• We will be stricter on the use of large teeth. Some sooshes in the past have had "tusks" and these will be grandfathered in.
The above traits will be slowly updated for sooshes that currently have these elements. If you have any sooshes that apply to these rules, please submit a claim so we can get them updated for you quickly.
We will be continuing to update our trait guidelines as time goes on, but this is where we are starting for now. Have any questions or suggestions? Shoot us a message or comment below! Now onto the other exciting news!
✦ Soosh of the Month ✦
Due to some confusion on last month's Soosh of the Month, with the lack of a newsletter, we will be extending last month's winner period. Please note that Soosh of the Month ALWAYS updates during the first week of the month, and is reflected in the prompt page and about page. If you already drew the SotM last month, you are allowed to submit a second entry for TWO entries for July.
This month's winner is Starkindler !
Black & White Angel Cake
Owned by Starkindler
Remember, you could be featured next month by drawing the above soosh!
✦ Grandeur Glamour Fashion Show ✦
Pommelraie hosted a fashion show in our Sushi Dog Park Server! 
(I could just stare at them all day…)
Garden Dreams
Fantastical Ball
Seafaring Desires
Each week had a winner (or winners!) that took home a prize bundle of salon goodies!
Congratulations again to shadesofangelite, kitsu, Mooncyder, and SamiTheDreamer!
Each entrant was raffled for a grand prize salon appointment by an available stylist, and that winner was shadesofangelite!
Thank you again to everyone who participated in this month-long event. ❤️
✦ Adventure Prompt ✦
Hold onto your sooshes! 
This prompt features our lovely NPC Edena, so please help her out ❤️
✦ Egg Hunt Raffle Winner✦
Congrats to Qualeo for winning the Egg Hunt Raffle!
The winner was rolled in our discord due to a bug with tickets.
You have won a Celestial's Gift, which allows for any one Mythical trait to be used on a MYO slot or existing soosh!
✦ Banner Contest ✦
Every two months, we will be hosting a discord server banner competition in the Sushi Dog Park discord server! This month will begin the contest for July and August banners!
Be sure to participate to earn some fantastic prizes and carats!
and lastly…
