Day One-Name your new pet -Why'd you name it that? -What do you think of your new pet? -What personality does it have? -Find your new pet's favorite food -Find your new pet's favorite toy -Introduce your new pet to the pet you picked to take part -Why'd you pick this pet to take part? -Give background information on the pet you picked to take part. Where'd you get it? Why'd you get it in the first place? This is dog4, or now known as Acrylic... ..."Who, me?" Acrylic was renamed because his tail looks like a dipped paintbrush...paint...acrylic... He seems like a sweet dog. My initial impression of him is that he seems quite curious about his new home, since he was sniffing around anytime we went back and forth from the Toy Closet to the Playpen. I decided to see if Acrylic was hungry, and offered him a wide variety: leftovers, watermelon, ice cream, oatmeal, and two choices of dog food. He decided to check out the ice cream... ...but ultimely settled on some dog food. After almost every bite, he had to look up at me. Yes, Acrylic, I'm still here He finished almost all of the dog food off, then had a few bites of oatmeal. Then, a quick nap. He still had some energy left, so I grabbed a few toys for Acrylic to play with. The stick was the first victim... ...and it was a good choice. He carried it around quite a while. He played with the star ball only long enough to trip. I don't blame you for sticking with the stick, Acrylic; at least it didn't trip you So, back to the stick it is. Even when it was right beside another toy, he chose the stick. We played fetch for a little bit while he was the only dog out. This is when I realized that he is a careful and 'neat' dog. When I had all the food out for him and then all the toys, he didn't run around like a mad man messing everything up. Instead, he chose the item he wanted and left everything else alone. Them, time to bring out Gee. She doesn't really have an interesting story. I've always liked this file, so I finally adopted one from the AC. I've only had her a short time, since May 22, and thought this would be a good time to get to know her, as well. When I first brought her out, Acrylic was curious about the new dog, but Gee ignored him. "Wait, there's another dog here?" Wow, Gee...very observant They seemed to really hit it off. Acrylic initiated playing, and it took off from there. The two played together very well, and Gee must have been taking Acrylic under her wing since she was older, but the whole time, she was so gentle and protective of him. She kept bringing toys to him--the stick, tugtoy, and star ball. They played together so well with no fighting--Acrylic and Gee both seem friendly, luckily--, so I left them alone to play for a while, before putting them up for the day.

Day Two-Go to the beach. Make sure you dress for the occasion. -Are your petz getting along? -Are you happy with your choice of pet to include?We got up early to get ready for the beach today. Acrylic and Gee both wore their best beach attire: Gee had a pretty flower tucked behind her ear, both wore shades, and both wore collars with ID...you never know if they might become accidentally separated and get lost. Once at the beach, Acrylic made one lap around, then stood there cautiously while Gee ran around like a mad woman. He eventually decided to check out some of the toys. Acrylic is a natural frisbee catcher! He caught it several times, and even Gee lucked out and caught it a time or two. Time for a small break. Um...okay, a big break for Acrylic He had a nap while Gee checked out the shell and toys, then she decided to wake him up. The early hours at the beach were gone, and this area became more busy with other people and animals, so we moved to a more secluded area. Both Acrylic and Gee must have been getting hot...they would run around a bit, then stop to stand in the water. Gee enjoyed playing with the rubber ducky in the water. After a long day at the beach, we headed home. We stopped by the closets to return the toys and clothes, and they must have been exhausted, because both immediately fell asleep in the Toy Closet. Before they rested too much, though, they had to each get a full bath and grooming to get all of that sand off. Afterwards, they both immediately stuffed their faces with some good ol' dog food, before we called it an end to the day. Acrylic and Gee are both getting along so well, and played perfectly at the beach together today. Even though they were both tired by the end, neither ever started a fight with the other. Like yesterday, Gee would bring toys to Acrylic today, and he started doing the same for her. I am still happy with the choice of including Gee, both because the two are getting along and also because I am getting to know her, too.

Day Three-Go to the backyard and plant some things. -Try on some new clothes. Any your pet preferred? Hated? -What did they look best in to you?We're off to the Backyard today! We'll attempt to grow a garden. I left a few toys there, in hopes of keeping Acrylic and Gee distracted. And, the planting begins. But wait...everytime the watering can is used, the dang dogs are right there underneath it. Come on, y'all! Sigh. Well, the garden is finished, and quite successfully, if I do say so myself. I can't tell if they are admiring the garden or being cautious Alright, it's getting hot outside, so let's venture back inside for some dress-up. First, Gee models the pig hat, and Acrylic has the chicken hat. Aww, too cute! Next, Gee looks butterfly-eautiful in her matching pink glittery wings and antenna. Acrylic plays it cool, showing off his leg warmers and shades. He seems to really like this simple outfit! And last, both show their sophisticated side, wearing top hats, mustaches, and monocles. Poor Acrylic looks bug-eyed, and Gee is almost asleep, it seems...pretty funny! Gee was a good sport and modeled her outfits without fuss, and so did Acrylic, though he really seemed to like those leg warmers. And my favorite outfits are the last ones shown, just for the funny factor. To end the day, we took a walk down to the cafe, where Acrylic and Gee both chose some treats to enjoy.

Day Four-Visit the snow scene. Remember to dress for the weather. -Play with both petz indoors after the snow scene.Our first step was to go visit the garden we planted yesterday and grab a carrot to use on a snowman. Acrylic, I think we can find some sticks in the snow! Time to get all bundled up! Since Acrylic was so fond of the leg warmers yesterday, I stuck some more on him, plus some ear muffs and a hoodie. Gee got some plaid leg warmers, the pig hat, and a scarf. No shirt for her, since she has a bit more hair to keep warm than Acrylic does. Once we made it to the snowy mountains, it was snowing! Neither Acrylic nor Gee seemed to like the cold much...neither ran around, but instead chose to stay warm by the fire that we built. After the snow slacked up, we made our way over to where some cabins were, and I worked on building a snowman. Acrylic and Gee completely ignored my frozen work of art, choosing to make lovey eyes at each other instead. It seems that they are getting along quite well Gee had to prance around...what a flirt! We left the cabins and wandered a little ways away, back to the shelter of the trees, and took a break from the day's hike. Acrylic was ready for some hot chocolate, but Gee wasn't yet. Getting out of the snow seemed to warm her up, and she ran around more...but Acrylic said it was time for a nap. Gee didn't last long, and then she was asleep, too. Once we were back home, we went to a bedroom to play, and Gee was still prancing around. Wait a minute...that isn't a prance--that looks like a waddle. Whattt?! When did that even happen? Nothing ever popped up! Acrylic isn't even a full grown adult; he sure didn't waste any time! Well, congrats, mom and dad! Meet Latte...because she looks like a cup of coffee with some milk in it. What a pretty pup...though unexpected, she will definitely be a keeper. So much for playing inside. We immediately went to the Nursery to take care of little miss Latte. Acrylic curled up for a nap with her... ...and Gee overlooked the sleeping baby (and dad). Acrylic had to check out his new daughter. Time for Latte to have her first meal. And time for mom and dad to eat, too. Gee said giving birth made her hungry, and Acrylic said being a dad is hard work

Day Five-Try to teach your new pet some tricks -Visit any playscene dressed upSince yesterday's plans were interrupted by Latte's birth, we resumed today with playing inside. I brought the three to a secluded bedroom, but there wasn't much playing on their minds. Acrylic checked out a few toys halfheartedly, and Gee was only interested in her new pup. Acrylic was soon focused on Latte, too. (Annnddd...from here on, I messed my entry up. For some reason, all along I had read/understood 'have the baby be born instantly' with 'age the baby to adult' for some reason. UGH. So, I did, but the brainsliders were not/have not been used any...if this disqualifies me, I understand.) --- midnightwolf After Latte was aged to an adult, she and Acrylic instantly started fight err, playing...with one another, while Gee sat back with that motherly look on her face... ...and then otherwise ignored the two. They played a bit longer... ...but Gee was constantly coughing and sneezing, so an appointment at the vet was made. She wasn't so sure about the table, but luckily we were only there long enough for her to get a quick checkup and medicine. "Wait a minute, I know there is medicine in that!" Don't just carry it around, silly! Uh oh...although I tried my best to keep Acrylic and Gee occupied, she has that waddle again...sigh. Couldn't resist, could ya? Um...are you done? You don't want to try tricks, either? That's not really a trick, Gee. There ya go! Nice 'up'! Okay, I'll take that for 'down'. Yep, you're definitely pregnant again, aren't you? A little hop for left 'over'... And a pretty jump for right 'over', nice! Really, Acrylic...you, too? Come on! Ok, good 'up'! Very nice 'down'. He likes to hop for 'over', too. And a jump for the right 'over'. Well, here we go again! When Gee was brought out in the Clothes Closet, Smudge was born. Aww. The three adult dogs dressed in cowboy hats and badges and visited the Wild West. Gee was again focused on her pup, Latte was curious with her surroundings, and Acrylic was just...there. Proud parents. Again. Gee wasn't too happy with Latte checking out the hay, and let it be known. She also wasn't happy with Acrylic being too close to his pup, and let him know about it, too. Evidently, the west was too chaotic for Gee...she grabbed Smudge and made a quick exit, and the two never came back out. Acrylic was shocked that Latte decided to munch down on some hay. Even I've heard of dogs eating grass, but hay? He must not have been too judgemental, because he was soon stuffing his face, too. Ok, enough hay....let's head home and get some real food! After Acrylic and Latte were stuffed, I brought Gee and Smudge to the nursery for a little quiet, alone time. Gee was satisfied just watching her baby snooze. Even when I let her eat, she still kept a watchful ege on Smudge. She seems quite a bit more protective over this baby...I didn't want to stress and upset her twice in a day, so I soon called it an end to the events of today.

Day Six-Decorate the Family Room -Visit the South Seas. What'd you find there?Time to do a little decorating today! We went up to the attic to grab a basket full of decorations. Today, it was Latte's turn to be sick, so we had to make a vet visit first priority. She got her temperature taken... ...blood drawn... ...and a vaccination. Then back at home, she had to eat her medicated food. Ok, back to decorating the house! First, we unloaded the basket in the Family Room. And, the final result! A clock on the wall, candles and a picture on the mantel, and plants and flowers everywhere to brighten up the room. Then, Gee got sick again! I think she and Latte must be passing it back and forth. So, off to the vet for the 2nd time today! More temperature taking... ...blood drawing... ...and a shot. She also got a pill. Then, more medicated food at home. It was a bit tricky, since she was more concerned with Smudge than her food. After everyone was healthy again, we ventured out to the South Seas. Latte stayed at home, in hopes of making this trip a bit less stressful for Gee and the baby. They had plenty of toy options at this area of the beach--a bottle (though not too safe, being glass), a coconut, a bird toy, and a flag. All three seemed to easily relax and have a nice rest. Gee actually gave Smudge a break from her watchful eye and checked out the bottle. There's nothing to drink inside, guys... I guess they like to live on the dangerous side; both were fascinated more with the bottle than everything else. Acrylic enjoyed a nice, safe run with it around the beach After today's outing, they were happy to get back home and have a hearty meal.

Day Seven-Wind down by staying in and playing with some toys. -How did everything go? What'd you learn about your new pet? Do you think you'll go back to PetzA, or keep playing this way?We stayed inside today, in a cozy bedroom. Acrylic and Gee were happy to see each other, and little Smudge is walking around now! Acrylic was the only one that really played today, and he stuck with the squeaky toy. There ya go, Smudge! Test out those legs...leap, jump, flop! Gee was 'uninterested' but still kept a watchful eye. This picture sums up the day: Acrylic with his favorite toy of the day, Smudge acting like Gee and being serious, and Gee watching carefully over her pup. Smudge, though not overly playful, did have his curious moments like when he had to investigate the carrying case. After a good playtime, it waa time for a meal. Acrylic and Gee were too concerned with sticking close to each other, but Smudge enjoyed his first meal other than milk, some oatmeal. I really enjoyed the contest...I love taking the time to actually play Petz again; it makes me nostalgic. I loved both (all 4? ha) of my new pets...they are all calm and easygoing. It was fun to see some cute pups born, too. I think I will stick to PetzA simply because it makes the game easier to play, having a busy real life schedule. However, I'll always join a gameplay contest when I can!
