NEW: ADOPTION AGENTS! : Thanks to pheonix123, TNO now employs Adoption Agents! If you have no clue what they are, don't worry -- it's not difficult to understand, and if you don't want to be a part of it, you don't have to do a thing. Whether you're adopting or fostering, you'll no doubt stumble across the term and explanation soon enough. If possible, though, since this is new, after reading about Adoption Agents, any foster owners with pets already on the site who want their pets to be a "potential," please neomail pheonix123.

NEW PIXIE / RANDOM EVENT! : Welcome Kawaii Pixie (whoatemyriceo), a Grooming Pixie, to the Gathering. She'll be stopping by each week to visit someone special in the Orphanage.

POINTLESS CONTEST WINNER : Congrats to seafeeded (Sweet Heart Negg)! No one else got the answer correct, it's not Brillo Pan, Pillow Pad, Brilly Boy, or anything of the sort -- it's Brillo Pad. ;P Poor Billopan....
