How are you guys doing with all the 24DoC festivities so far?

December's Player of the Month!

A Huge Congratulations to Sunday!

Sunday (#18873) has been chosen to be in this month's spotlight! Have you checked out her memorial pups? Beautiful!

Community Chatter
"Very sweet, charming, and an absolute gem in HP's community crown! Her collies and the hard work she puts into them always tempt me into starting the breed. A staple in the community, and we wouldn't be the same without her!"
"Very nice to talk to and her Collies are wonderful!"

The Interview Questions!
Anyone who wins P.o.t.M. can answer as many or all of the questions as they feel comfortable answering!

......HP Questions......
1. How did you first learn about us?
I came here from HL, HP was recommended by a bunch of people so I checked it out

2. What is your favorite thing about HP?
I love the community

3. How long have you been playing for?
I joined in 2011, but didn’t start my dogs until around 2014.

4. How did you come up with your player name?
Sunday was the name of a horse I really liked at my barn growing up and I liked the name

5. What is your favorite breed of horse or dog to train?
Collies and Shelties

6. What caused you to pick the breed(s) you train and breed?
Love them both! Grew up with Shelties and now I have Collies myself

7. How do you come up with names for your animals?
Character names, song names, anything I can think of

8. What are your current goals on HP?
Honestly right now, nothing? I had a project earlier this year that it was a pipedream of mine to get on all-time dog rankings and I did that, so now I’m just coasting by with everything else!

9. Do you have a favorite animal? (It can be your own or another player’s you admire!)
So many! Too hard to choose from anyone else’s, but I do have a favorite of mine. It’s my dog Brooke, who I did as a tribute to my real dog that I lost very suddenly last year. It was really tough but focusing on training this dog helped. And then my second favorite is my dog Potter, who is a tribute to a second dog I lost a few months ago.
I do also want to give a shoutout to my favorite HL dogs, which were Shade’s smooth collies, and helped in my love for them today! ❤️

10. Who’s your go-to graphic artist or coder? Are there any services you offer?
Currently (as in those who are currently still making), Amberellie! She’s made several of my pictures and they’re always stunning. For coding, Trig made my beautiful layout, and then I always love everything Mango makes as well.

11. What is your favorite Site-Wide yearly event?
I have a lot of fun with the various scavenger hunts! Especially the ones with clues or visual clues. Those are always tough but fun.

12. What other contests or activities do you usually participate in?
I wish I could participate in more! I try to participate in what I can, especially if it’s fairly quick. Anything drawing or coloring I try to steer clear of since I have a mac and don’t even have paint lol

13. Do you have any training or breeding tips to share?
I’m actually probably in need of some vs being able to give any 😅

14. Which seasonal layout art is your favorite?
Tough! Winter is pretty but I also love the spring one!!

15. If you could change one thing about HP, what would it be and why?
Ummm great and tough question! I feel like the staff is always so open to suggestions that it’s hard to imagine anything that really needs change that doesn’t get addressed. I agree that clubs needed some change, so I’m looking forward to seeing if the new changes will help with those. I also think it might be nice to be able to be more than one dog or horse embassy, like for instance I could only do one dog embassy but I breed only two dog breeds and no horse breeds, and no one else runs either of my breeds, so it would be nice to be able to represent both.

16. What do you spend most of your time on HP doing?
Training, lurking in chat

17. What is your favorite Club?
I think I have to give a shout out to my herding breeds and say herding club!

......Real Life & Random Questions......
1. Where are you from?
From Georgia

3. What do you do for work?
I work in the breeding department of a guide and service dog school, best job ever

I lost two of my dogs this past year, so I have one dog (and one cat) and two horses.

5. Do you have any other types of pets at home?
A kitty

Dog - Collies and Shelties
Horse - Love any type of warmblood and then I have a TB, so have to give them a place here too

Pink and teal
