What? It's Already 2014?

Source

Hard to believe that it's already a new year. Who would have thought, that the holiday season would have gone by so fast. I know that I didn't.

Anyway, you probably aren't interested in all that. You probably want to know what rock I've been hiding under; and let me tell you, it was a big one. I've been super busy with real life things, traveling, and of course... the holidays. Which weren't all that super duper, since I was sick with the Flu for a week up to, and including Christmas Eve. Not fun.

Now that I'm back, it's time to get some posts caught up, and give the old banner a long expected update.

Pet Shop Daily: Late Night Edition

Source

No, it isn't what you think... this is just a late night post that I wanted to make while I had a break from doing some work on my regular job.

What this is, is really a huge thank you for all the fans. I know I don't say it enough, but, this site would never have survived this long without your dedication, and your returning interest. So for that; thank you very, very much.

LPS Returns!

As you know, Pet Shop Daily has been on something of a hiatus for the past few months; I've been doing my best to gather as much information as I can about the new season, and I've been working hard to keep the fan community alive. 

A huge and generous "thank you" to everyone that has followed us on Twitter, and Facebook. 

In the past few months, I've successfully written a novel, and am nearing completion on a second, that will be available on Amazon by the end of the month, with any luck.

NEWS:

According to the rumor mill, the newest season of Littlest Pet Shop will premiere on November  2nd; for all of you that are wanting an answer, or are wondering about it. That is the best most realistic date I can offer. So far it hasn't been shot down by anyone.

RELEASES:

 The newest LPS DVD is now out, and ready to buy. You should be able to find it at your local retailer, entertainment store, or if that fails, you can always get it at Amazon. 

Unfortunately, I may have to, since I haven't seen it at my local Target, or Walmart. 

As if it couldn't get better, there's already a release date for the fourth DVD; "Lights, Camera, Fashion!"

According to the Amazon page, it will be released December 17th, just in time for the Christmas season. So if you haven't made up your minds on what you want from Santa, this would make a nice thing to ask for the next time you are sitting on his lap.

Now, have some videos!

News: LPS DVDs Coming to Australia?

Pet Shop Daily has picked up on a solid rumor that Littlest Pet Shop DVDs will be hitting the Aussie shores soon. Now there's no specific dates to be handed out at this time; but if you are a fan of Littlest Pet Shop and you are in the land "Down Under", then it's time to get your huzzah on!

In the meantime, why don't all you Pet Shoppers from the Aussie land of Awesome vote in, and let us hear you in the comments. Maybe if you guys make some noise they can get some action going behind those DVD releases!

So hit the comments, and let us know what's up.

News: Third LPS DVD to Release October!

Not Official Art (duh)

Well, it's time to start rubbing your hands together in anticipation for the next DVD release of Littlest Pet Shop. According to an Amazon entry, the third LPS DVD will get its release on October 1, 2013 to the title; "Pet-acular Escapades".

Check Here

I haven't the foggiest notion as to what episodes will be featured on it, but you guys are welcome to speculate.

I'll update as more info comes in. In the mean time, thanks to Korger for pointing this out to us.

Just A Brief Update

Hello everyone! Just wanted to take some time and update the blog here, and let you all know that despite the fact that it seems we have slowed down on our posting—which we have—we haven't gone extinct or anything. We are still working hard to provide you with the best information available for your favorite show, Littlest Pet Shop. But as it happens, as does all things when there is a lull in that space between seasons; there isn't that much to post about.

It's times like this that we draw on the fandom, more than ever. To send in your art, your stories and your music.

To better help us keep our spirits up. Pet Shop Daily is going to host have a contest for best original fan-production. This can be either in the form of music, or art, or fiction.

In the next few days, we'll be putting the finishing touches on the rules for the entry, and where you Pet Shoppers can submit your entries, and what exactly it's all about.

In the meantime, I hope everyone is enjoying their Summer break, and is doing their part in keeping the spirit of LPS alive and well.

Thanks,

~ D

LPS Season One Commentary Track?

Now before you get your underthings in a huge misshapen bunch, I haven't heard of any definitive proof that there is going to be a complete DVD box-set of LPS Season One, so until I do, we will treat it as speculation.

But for the sake of speculation, a question concerning the possibility of Nicole Oliver moderating a commentary track for the set came up in Twitter today.

More after the jump!

News: LPS at LA Film Fest & BronyCAN

It's been a few days, and finally we have some things worth mentioning. This may just tickle your ears, or eyes as the case may be.

It seems that there will be a small LPS presence at the LA Film Festival this year, in between all the MLP Equestria Girls hype and things; there is going to be a small section for LPS featuring Animal Balloons, and face painting.

Also, at this year's BronyCAN, there is going to be some LPS voice talent.

So head over to the websites HERE and HERE and check it out!

News: LPS Community Message Board

I've been reading in a lot of places how the fans really want a dedicated site for Littlest Pet Shop discussion, and community stuff, and now you can look no further.

Head over to Day Camp and get your message skills working.

Also a huge thanks to fellow pet shopper, Tiffan for sending us the info!

News: Daniel Ingram & Roger Eschbacher nominated for Daytime Emmy

Littlest Pet Shop may have come to its season conclusion, but the accolades are still going strong. Today, we learned that song: "If You're A Guy" (Composer, Daniel Ingram; Lyrics, Roger Eschbacher) from the episode, Dumb Dumbwaiter has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Original Song - Children and Animation".

So a special congratulations to all the vocal talent for the song, and a huge congrats to Daniel Ingram and Roger Eschbacher!

We'll be keeping our fingers crossed.

First Season Down, Another To Go!

Season one is officially over, Pet Shoppers. I hope you've saved room for season two, which as of a month or so ago has had its voice work completed; if you all remember the "Wrap Party" the VAs had.

Anyway... it's been an interesting season to say the least. We've seen some cool characters come and go, lots of insert songs, and a steady influx of fans that seem to grow more with each passing day. It's truly a great and cool thing.

You are all probably wondering what is to become of us during this between season hiatus, and while I'd like to assure everyone up-front that Pet Shop Daily wont be going anywhere, I can't stress enough how much the fandom will need you fans, now more than ever.

I've been taking some time to read over the reaction of the fanbase, and over-all the approval rating seems very high. The show ended on a somewhat "feels" moment, and it really did seem to touch a great many of you. But there are a lot of fans that are hoping that this fledgling movement doesn't go the way of the dinosaur before next season, and are hoping and praying that Littlest Pet Shop gains a much larger and bigger awareness and fandom, like its bigger sister series, MLP:FiM.

Again, all I can say, is that it depends on you fans to keep the flame going strong. Strong with art, stories, and cool fan-made things that can take the internet by storm. Not the same sort of storm that MLP generated, or as frenetic; but a storm of awesome and amazing that I have seen time and time again from you all.

So consider this a call-to-arms for all Pet Shoppers everywhere. bring us your creations! Bring us your music, and art! But most of all, bring your dedication. I know that this site would be nothing without the contributions from the community. You are, have been, and always will be the life-force of this site; and as long as you continue to make amazing fan-stuffs, I will keep posting it.

Granted, I can't lie and say that Pet Shop Daily will be able to post as often, or as much (again depending on you guys), but we will be posting.

Some of the things that we are planning, is another survey. Woo-hoo!

This time, we plan on conducting a survey consisting of you guys' favorite insert song, and we'll hopefully be starting on that next week. Additionally, we'd like to get some help from the Bronies among us, who have some connections with the staff, and perhaps assist us in conducting some interviews with these amazing people that work so hard to make these shows possible. I have a few leads, but nothing that has really panned out so far.

And lastly. Allow me to express once again my constant gratitude and thanks to all you Pet Shoppers that support us here at Pet Shop Daily, and go the extra mile in the fandom, and just generally make us the new friends and family that we are. Thank you!

News: Season 1 Episode 25 & 26 Synopsis

Well, it's happened... the summary descriptions for the final two episodes of Littlest Pet Shop season one have been revealed.

Check it out after the jump!

April Fools Day... or Bust!

In addition to being in a full body cast right now, from accidentally thinking that hugging a live panda was a good idea; it seems that Littlest Pet Shop has made a special appearance on the memebase section, My Little Brony, where a group of zealous lovers of their pets (giggle), has set about to plastering LPS from one end of the MLP page to the other...

At one point in the comment section, I thought I heard someone actually crying, and another as they pad-locked themselves in a room full of yogurt and pretzels.

Many of the Bronies are bewildered and lost in a haze of confusion; much like I was after the season finale of MLP this year, and some Bronies are seeking comfort in the fact that FIMFiction has now outlawed human x pony fiction submissions.

Some Bronies have called on the power of Celestia to help them, and others are quoted as saying, "YOUR TEARS ARE DELICIOUS!"

It is possible that this whole thing is a joke from the people that run Memebase, and that this is in fact not the work of the Pet Shoppers... or it could just be a big misunderstanding; like that time I was convinced Tabitha St Germain was the lead in an anime called "Shakugan no Shana".

Either way, come tomorrow; it's either going to be a brand new day with the world right again, or I'm selling the place and getting me a nice quiet blog where I can post about pillow down.

Stuff Post! - "This is the part where I ramble"

Okay time to show off some interesting things I've come across on my internet travels, in search of more and more Littlest Pet Shop stuff, and things. One of which was this guy here, holding a white board, and of course a fan lovingly filled it with Zoe Trent. I can't say that I disapprove in the least.

Now that doesn't mean that you fans should go overly ga-ga and start plastering stickers of LPS pets all over everything down a street in your home town, like a certain fan for a certain other HUB property had done... that might be considered vandalizing; not to confused with evangelizing.

So for now, I salute you Littlest Pet Shop artist fan, where-ever you are, and thank you for the Zoe art.

In the mean-time, I've got a post here that covers some other happenings in the world of LPS, along with pictures!

You can check out more of it after the jump!

Littlest Pet Shop Plushies

okay, so in our quest to uncover all things Littlest Pet Shop, we've found a site in Germany that is selling LPS plushies. Oh my God, you've heard that right. Of course, the site is called Spielzeugkaestchen which roughly translated means; "Toy Box"... hehehe it's too simple, right.

Anyway, I have no clue how legit this place is, but so far it smells alright. And the plushies look cool, which makes me rather happy.

So head over there now, and get ready to fork over about 17 Euros, or 22 Dollars for a plush.

You can get there here: Spielzeugkaestchen (Toy Box)

Story Archive is Up!

Well, it's not a lot of stories in the archive, but there are enough to warrant a list; finally.

So now, you can check out the complete list of fan fiction on Pet Shop Daily by clicking the link in the top menu bar, and seeing all the goodness.

Now all we need are for more of you fans to get to cranking out some fiction. Come on, chop chop!

Hope you enjoy!
