Welcome to ala, Peach-Fuzz101. If you haven't already read over the Help>FAQs page it'll explain how to get a dog. Also for colors there is a color testing thread you can see the html code needed to post color font in forums. :) If you have further questions please submit a newbie helper issue. We get notifications for those and get you your replies usually in a few minutes of you posting it. Or you could post in the I Need Some Help forum. :)
