Challenge 63

Tricks and Talents

Do your pets have any special talents or party tricks that they like to perform? Maybe they can knock at the door to get back in the house, or maybe they can munch their way through their own bodyweight in food! Or maybe they have acquired fame on the internet through their kooky behaviour!
Show us your layouts of the talents or tricks your pet has!

Bookworms

A very happy 2010 to everyone and their feathered, furred and scaled friends!
For those of us who are still having cold, dark nights, it's the perfect time to curl up with our little friends and enjoy a good book. But are there any books or magazines that make you think of your pets? Maybe they've been named after a character in your favourite book, or maybe there's just a title that describes your pet to a tee. Do you imagine how they might come across if they were interviewed for an article, or maybe the closest they've got to literary aspirations is chewing on a book cover!

Challenge 61 - Gifts for Animal Lovers

The True Friend team would like to wish all our readers and their fur/feathered/scaled babies a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year. To celebrate, the next challenge is all about gifts for animal lovers in your life! Grab those pet-related gifts and created a page all about them, or perhaps share gifts made for other pet lovers in your life! You could even share the gifts you have bought/made your pets!

Take a look at our DT's offerings and after you've enjoyed your day don't forget to come back and share your own wonderful creations!

Challenge 60

Preparing for Christmas

As we start the countdown to Christmas, there are a lot preparations to be made; presents to wrap, decorations to hang, festive food to eat. But do you also make preparations for your pets? Perhaps they have their own little stocking to hang up and their own little letter for Santa, maybe they like to help you with the decorating, or maybe you have to secure your Christmas tree to the wall to stop it becoming another play toy!

Show us what preparations you'll be making this Christmas involving you pets.

Winter Nights

Now that Winter is upon us and it's getting rather dark and cold, do you find that your pets have their own winter traditions? Maybe they start to take up residence in front of the fire? Or maybe you have to fight them for the bed covers?

Our new DT are making their debut with this challenge and we'd all love to see what your pets do on a Winter Night!

Challenge 58

Halloween!

Ah yes, the time of year when we can dress our pets up in cute costumes! Or if they're less than amused with the prospect of being paraded around the neighbourhood dressed up as Superman, maybe they like to help with the pumpkin carving! Or maybe just eating the candy instead!

Give us a trick OR treat with your Halloween pet layouts!

For those of you waiting for the DT announcement, apologies for the delay. We had fabulous entries and it's been really tough to choose between them! Hopefully we will have the final team announcement for you shortly and thanks to everyone who applied!
