Some of you might know about these, but if you don't and you like collecting this stuff, know that PAW Patrol has new Christmas ornaments out this year (in the states, anyway... not sure about other locations yet)! I believe they're based on the outfits we'll see in the upcoming Rubble Christmas special (I think? Admittedly, I haven't been paying too close attention to all the latest PAW Patrol news).
I found this one at Walmart. Unsurprisingly, they have a bunch of their Christmas stuff out already... at the beginning of October, because why not. Oh, I also seen them listed on Amazon. I know Rubble also got one, and no doubt Chase and Skye, too. I've no idea about the others (probably not, unfortunately).
Despite slowing down with my collection lately, you know I just had to have one. :)
I've been rewatching season one on Roku, and I've noticed two things. Rubble has a different catchphrase, rather than "Rubble on the Double." He says Let's Dig It and when Ryder calls the pups, they say Ryder's calling instead of Ryder Needs Us.
I know Marshall is the EMT pup, but do you think another pup should be introduced to take on that job, or do you think there wouldn't be enough jobs to fill the need, and they would be like Zuma? Not used very often?
Skye Appreciation Week 2025 - Day 5 Favorite Moments
Posting late because life got in my way during the last three days of Skye Week, but now I have strength to come and post something about them. Reminder that I'll still go back in the tags to check the latest posts and reblog them to the Events blog until next week, so if you missed a day or a few, you can still post it!
My favorite Skye moment... I couldn't pick one from the TV show, or the movies. Of course there are some great moments out there... But, particularly, I feel nothing tops the bravery and badassery this pup exhibited in one of my favorite fanfics, especially given the context!
The fanfic is called Ryder Saves The Aviator Pup, written by the amazing @skyezuma 💜
Would you look at that, it fit into one single screenshot XD
Anyway... Yeah. Smol Skye, still on her first weeks/months with Ryder, still adapting to her new life... Finding courage to stand up against bullies, after being victim of her own littermates bullying. And being a badass at that! I just love this moment. That's my girl!
I forgot to post my favorite Skye moment. It was from the first movie. The look she gives Rocky after she crashes her plane, and Rocky says that will buff right out. It makes me laugh every time.
Skye Appreciation Week 2025 - Day 4 Favorite Vehicles
Posting late because I didn't have energy yesterday after I came home from work.
I think my favorite is the first movie's helicopter/jet thing. It was so cool and had a neat design... This is one I'd buy the toy in a heartbeat if money wouldn't be an issue, FOR SURE.
Honorable mention to the Falcon Jet because I grew up watching Power Rangers Wild Force, excuse me XD
And to the Air Rescue Plane/Jet as well, the plane mode is so simple I love it, and then the Jet mode- I choose to not question how it transforms XD But both look cool imo so yeah
Happy Skye Appreciation Week everyone! I am so excited to be doing another pup appreciation week. The last one was so much fun. When it comes to picking a favorite outfit for the pups, it’s always hard because there’s just So. Many. Same with vehicles, I’m still not sure which one I’ll choose for day 4. Like, seriously, where does Ryder find the time to make all these? Ultimately, I think my favorite is her ‘Princess Skye of Pup-sylvania’ Halloween costume. It’s simple, but oh so cute, she’s her father’s Ryder’s little princess! An honorable mention to her pre-movie Mighty Pups outfit purely for the energy wings. I’m lowkey a little mad the Mighty Movie got rid of them, we need an AU where Skye gets actual wings. Now, enough talk, on with the show!
“Happy Halloween dudes!” Zuma exclaimed as he bounced into the Lookout with an excited grin. The rest of the team had been setting up Halloween decorations in and around the Lookout while Zuma went to get candy, now returning with the biggest bag he could carry.
“You know, before we set the candy out, we should try it first, just to make sure it’s good.” Rubble suggested, looking at the bag of candy hungrily. The rest of the team laughed.
“Hey, where’s Skye?” Zuma asked as he noticed the pup in question was missing from the group.
“She went to put on her costume,” Ryder explained, “She’s really excited to show it off.”
“Make way! The princess of Adventure Bay has arrived!” Skye announced dramatically as she stepped into the room. She wore a cute little princess dress complete with a bejeweled collar and pointed hat.
Ryder smiled. “Good evening, your majesty,” he replied, matching her theatrics with a dramatic bow. Another chorus of laughter rang out from the pups.
“Thanks. I’ve been looking forward to this for months. I don't get a lot of opportunities to dress up like this, all fancy and stuff, so I wanna take full advantage."
"You look like a real princess," Rubble said. Skye smiled bashfully in response.
At this point, the decorations were finished, so the rest of the team went to put on their costumes. Chase was dressed as a superhero, Marshall was a pumpkin, Rocky dressed as a viking, Zuma was a pirate, Rubble had an Elvis costume (to the surprise of everyone, since no one knew until now that he was into Elvis), and Ryder had actually coordinated with Skye with his costume, so he was a knight.
"Every princess needs a knight," he said.
Once everyone had their costumes on, they hit the streets for some trick-or-treating. They got tons of compliments on their costumes, especially Ryder and Skye; they even got asked for photos a few times, which Skye loved. She didn't want to admit it out loud, but she did enjoy the spotlight and attention. She liked being noticed, being seen and appreciated.
Maybe it was because of her childhood of being overlooked and ignored.
"Trick or treat!" They cheered as they approached another house.
The woman who opened the door cooed at the adorable pups. "Aww, look at you cuties," she said as she dropped a piece of candy into each of their bags.
"You wanna see me do a trick?" Skye asked, unable to stop herself from fishing for more praise. The woman nodded, and Skye did a few of her signature backflips.
"Showoff," Zuma giggled. Skye responded with a sassy flick of her ear in his face, not unlike how a human girl would flick her hair.
Before they could decide which house they'd visit next, Ryder got a call on his pup-pad, which made the other pups sigh in disappointment.
"So much for a mission-free Halloween," Rocky groaned. The pups loved their jobs, they really did, but having their fun interrupted was never enjoyable. They just hoped it was a simple rescue that wouldn't take all night.
The rescue in question was a boat party gone wrong. The old ship Cap’n Turbot had fixed up for his ghost ship party had accidentally set sail. Apparently, Cali had been chasing a seagull and had lowered the ship’s sails while Chickaletta got a hold of the ship's wheel. Oh, and Wally had fallen asleep and started loudly snoring, which freaked everyone out. Ryder didn’t say anything, but he thought the whole situation was a little ridiculous.
Regardless, everyone was too spooked to get back on the ship, so they moved the party to the Lookout yard, where Skye continued to show off her costume.
“You look so cute, Skye,” Katie said, scratching behind her ear.
“Thanks, Katie. I just wish I could’ve gotten one of the boys to be my Prince Charming, that would’ve made it perfect.”
“BOO!”
The sudden shout right next to her made Skye jump back in fright, causing her to stumble into a large hole that she hadn’t noticed until it was too late. A familiar giggle told her exactly who the culprit was.
“Sorry, Skye,” Zuma said once his laughter died down. “Didn’t think I’d scare you that bad. I guess you really do need a Prince Charming now.”
Skye huffed but gave a prideful smirk. “This princess is more than capable of rescuing herself,” she replied, climbing out of the hole and brushing the dirt off. “I just wanna know where this hole came from.”
“I think it’s one of the holes Rubble dug that he forgot to fill back up. It’s become a bit of a bad habit.”
Skye wasn’t exactly surprised. Out of all the pups, Rubble was the one who liked digging holes the most. Frankly, she was kind of impressed that he had managed to dig a hole that size. She made a mental note to remind him to fill it up later.
“Hey, Skye, can I ask you something?”
“Sure. What is it?”
“Well… I can’t help but notice that you’ve been acting a bit… weird tonight. You keep looking for attention and wanting to show off. And I know you’re not doing it to be mean, it’s just not something you normally do. I just wanted to know why.”
Skye’s ears dropped. She knew she had been doing it, but she hadn’t realized it was so noticeable, and she knew it looked bad. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be an attention hog, I just… I just really like being complimented, being noticed, and I’m really proud of this costume, so I guess I just let myself indulge a little more than I normally do.”
Zuma put a paw on her shoulder. “Hey, I get it, you don’t need to apologize. I mean, who doesn’t like getting compliments? I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything else going on that you might’ve needed to talk about.”
Skye smiled. “Thanks, Zuma. I promise I’m fine, just got a little carried away, that’s all.”
Zuma nodded and walked off to enjoy the party, while Skye sat alone with her thoughts. It was frustrating; after all these years, her childhood of loneliness and rejection still affected her. No matter how much praise she received, it never seemed to be enough to fill the void completely. She needed to get a grip. If she kept acting like an attention-stealing diva, she could wreck her friendships with the other pups.
“Skye, you okay?” Ryder’s voice pulled Skye back to reality.
“Oh, yeah, I’m fine, just got caught up in my thoughts.”
Ryder raised an eyebrow, and Skye knew that the boy could see something was off.
“Are you sure? You’ve been sitting here on your own for a while now.” His words made Skye question just how long she’d spent sulking in the proverbial corner. “Is there something you want to talk about?”
Man, she was not good at hiding her emotions.
“Honestly? It’s something that I really don’t want to talk about. At all. It was a long time ago, but it still bothers me. And no matter what I do, it just keeps coming back to haunt me like a ghost, and I just wish I could make it stop.”
Skye turned away to let out a huff of frustration, while Ryder sat down next to her, taking a moment to think of the right words to say.
“It sounds like you had a really tough time in your life… I’m not gonna ask for details, but you should know that you’re not the only pup with a rough past,” Skye looked up at him curiously. “It’s not my place to say who or what, but you don’t have to deal with this alone. Whenever you’re ready to talk about it, you can always come to me, or any of the other pups.”
Skye nodded, snuggling up to Ryder’s side. She wasn’t sure when she’d be ready to talk about her past, but knowing she had the support of her team made the ghosts of her past a little easier to bear. Hopefully someday, she’d find the strength to face them.
Yeah, I know... I used to admire her. A lot. But after she tried to literally get rid of us and was going to send the people from Adventure Bay to the moon? She wanted to level my town and I don't even know for what really! She could go build her dream city anywhere else! No, I don't like her anymore, not even a little bit. I want her as far away as possible from me, my friends and my town.
I just noticed something I didn't when I saw the episode. The pups vehicles and gear is no longer jungle inspired. It is their normal looking vehicles and gear.
