Wizzy Wednesday Lands Gold Band Hat Post
Metal · 21 Oct 2026
A collector opened Wizzy Wednesday on Oct. 21, 2026, by sharing a pixel-art dog in a green wizard hat on X and thanking the community.
The post went live at 8:26 a.m. ET. It wished everyone a great Wizzy Wednesday and an amazing week while tagging the Doginal Dogs account.
Wizzy Wednesday served as the collector’s regular midweek greeting. The message closed with appreciation for everyone in the community.
The attached image featured a pixel-art Doginal Dog. The orange Shiba-style dog has green eyes and wears a green wizard hat with a gold band. The background is pink.
