I was talking about this with another user- and we both think that the dogs are kinda on theme for the Rorschach Test. You know, the inkblots and then they ask you what you see and it usually looks like a moth or a butterfly or something? Not sure if a theme has been confirmed yet- but the dogs are just so pretty

We do have Rorschach foxes from May 2021!
As for these dogs, their markings seem to not be symmetrical so maybe they're based on something else?
Does anyone know what kind of mushroom today's pony is?

I didn’t get any growth from my ponies today so I didn’t even realize that we had mushroom ponies! Looks like today might be a chanterelle?

Hmm I wonder what they could be based off of then!

And maybe chicken mushrooms?- the name would certainly fit the site



It’s the closest thing I could find

Some people in CSTM think they could be chanterelles or jack o lanterns!

So close! These are golden oyster mushrooms. ♥

I’m a bit late to the party but are the dogs supposed to be breeds of ducks?


This one reminds me of the Muscovy duck (which funny, cause I breed Muscovy ducks)




And this one reminded me of the Cayuga duck (which also funny cause this was the first breed of poultry that I had, they were rescues)



Note duck pictures are not my ducks


I’m curious if the black one still growing is going to be a black/blue Swedish (which I would love as I had one as a rescue)and if the other brown one like the Muscovy will be a mandarin?

Both these ducks are correct! (I know other users have guessed Cayuga already but this was just easier for me to quote and answer ♥)

I just noticed we got snake face paint for St Patrick's day but Ireland doesn't have snakes and now I'm confused

St. Patrick was made a Saint for driving all the "snakes" from Ireland. Snakes being a euphemism for pagans

St. Patrick was made a Saint for converting people to Catholicism and bringing Catholicism to Ireland in general. Pretty much every other detail is unconfirmed because it was during the dark ages. There is no hard evidence of what the snake legends stand for. Regardless, snakes became one of the symbols of the holiday
