I have no idea how you folks have evaded my notice all these years, but I'm thrilled to have finally found you!
My name is Key, and I've been a Petz player since I was an eighth-grader in 2000. I played the game consistently through high school and college, and even tried organizing a group of university friends on a homebrew Dogz messageboard in 2006. Our small numbers were not enough to sustain the site, however, and by the time graduation rolled around I was convinced that active Petz adoption sites and communities were a thing of the past.
I've fired the games up intermittently since then, but for whatever reason it wasn't until last night that I pulled up a search engine and typed in the simple question, "Does anyone still play Dogz 4?" Well! After one link lead to another and I saw the member count and timestamps on the threads here, I almost couldn't believe it!
I'm now in my late twenties, pursuing a master's degree in library/computer science, and married to a guy who still has his childhood copy of Catz 3 safely tucked away in a storage binder. :)
I look forward to getting to know you all -- and your wonderful Petz, too!

Hello! Welcome to RKC forum! I was pretty surprised when I found this place a while ago to... I don't think its possible to ever leave petz, especially once your part of the community...

Welcome back! I'm freshly back myself and was really excited to see there were still folks around RKC. AAP is dead in the water as is Cheetah's.
Look forward to getting to know you!

Thanks for the welcome. You have no idea how many backdrops, toys, skins, and breed files I've downloaded in the past 24 hours.
Or wait. Maybe you do. Because you've all gone through this already. :)
I've also got a handful of adoptions pending. I'm making up for lost time!

It's been almost five years since I last posted here (and nearly four since I last played a Petz game), but tonight I decided to stream Dogz 4 on Twitch for my friends, and boom. Two hours later I find myself updating family trees while digging through this forum and applying for multiple prospective adoptions.
When Petz gets its paws back on you, it's a straight dive back into the deep end!
Really glad to see this place is still very active, and I hope everyone's been well.

I basically have the same story: I was streaming for my friends and they helped me adopt my first petz x3 This happened in June (2018) so I'm really new to the community ^^ Welcome back!

Thanks for the re-welcome everyone! Last time I was active here I didn't spend enough time to get to know many of you. I've always been more of a lurker. Maybe that will change this time! Regardless, I've been enjoying going through a bunch of threads and admiring everyone's petz. What's your twitch? I basically have the same story: I was streaming for my friends and they helped me adopt my first petz x3 This happened in June (2018) so I'm really new to the community ^^ Welcome back! Hah, that's funny that streaming factored into things for you too! I'm at twitch.tv/keyglyph. What's yours? And you're saying you played the game for the first time on Twitch? That's so fun. If you stream the game often, I would love to drop in from time to time and see how your furbabies are doing.

Look at this! <3 I love it <3 I don't stream regularly, just for fun for playdates and for friends to help me do stuff with my petz. But everythings been so stressed lately that I find it hard to keep a regular schedule. I do want it to be a project of mine, but maybe after a career switch or something.
