Just had to show off the newest member of our family! Our doorbell rang on Jan 17th - it was our neighbors across the street. They had a 6 month old Pomeranian puppy that was turning out to be more work than they had time for. They knew we had a Pom already and wanted to know if we would be willing to take in theirs. Of course we would!!!
Introducing Miss Toffee, aka Toph for short:

And here she is with her big sister Pixie:

Edited to add: Puppies are a lot of work! OMG we love Toph to bits but she is a little brat lol Adore
I've cleaned and puppy proofed but she still manages to find odd things to chew Wide Grin (she's teething)

Taken away so far:
Pair of Scissors
3 Stuffed animals
Hubby's glasses
Screwdriver
Notepad
Towel (pulled out of hamper)
Socks (also pulled out of hamper)
Piece of cardboard (from trash)
Computer room door
Used gum found on our walk (EEEEWWWWW! )
Sheet of Hello Kitty stickers O_o.gif' alt='O_o'> (No idea where the heck she found those lol)
2 pairs of shoes
2 bras (also pulled out of hamper)
piece of wood molding pulled off our wall - naughty puppy!!!
my favorite sweatpants (which now have that ultra stylish "distressed" look, thanks Toph! )
Headphone cable

Notice a lot of clothes in there? The little brat has a new favorite game lol! Our hamper, like most, has ventilation holes in the side. She's decided it's great fun to grab the clothes through the tiny holes and play tug of war until she pulls them out, or pulls the hamper down on top of herself Wide Grin

Why do I have an Xbox/Mbox in gallery?

Why make a FAQ for a gallery item?
Simply because I'm lazy lol! I usually get a couple mails a day asking about it. It's fun having such a unique item and I don't mind the mails, but this saves me having to answer the same questions over and over. If your question isn't answered here, feel free to mail me. I always try to answer.

Where did it come from?
In March of 2007, Marapets held a big war event. The Xbox 360 was one of the prizes you could win for earning war points. You can read the news about the event on the March 13th news posting here:
[IMG]http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x87/RosyGnome/Marapets/warnews.jpg[/IMG]

Does it do anything?
Nope, not to my knowledge. But to be honest I wouldn't risk trying to 'use' it. I got a real prize for winning it, and the gallery item is basically just a trophy.

What did you win?
Originally I was supposed to win a real Xbox 360 when I got it from the War Redemption shop. We didn't have an Xbox and I knew my husband really wanted one so I worked really hard to win it for him. Due either site problems or something else (I'm still not sure lol) we ended up getting an Xbox before I ever got the one I won. I emailed Ian about it and he was kind enough to give me AU credits instead. I got 300 Account Upgrades credits, which was AWESOME!

Do you have any AU credit left from it?
Nope lol, I wish! Since I won it in 2007, the 300 AU credits are long gone. I did make them last almost a year though!

How much is it worth and is it for sale?
To me it's priceless. I had a lot of fun restocking my fingers off trying to win it, and it's neat having a unique item. I'd never sell it.

What is the most you've been offered?
I have had a couple of people offer me 100 million mps to buy it off me, and I told them both no. I can earn mps, I'd rather have my item Smile

Why is your item different now?
In 2013 a hacker decided to try and have a little "fun" on Mara by flooding the Pot of Gold with rare items such as Rofling potions and copies of my Xbox. My item was taken by staff while they tried to round up all the faked copies and get rid of them. In addition, they were worried about Copyright issues, so once the mess was cleared up I got a shiny new Mbox as a replacement.
