Hello! Thanks for passing by Fran's Friends! Here I'll post pics of my many Siameses and Dachies and also some other dogz and catz possibly. Mainly Siameses and Dachies. One must strive to know one's weaknesses, and I am wildly aware of mine. Well, they are adorable! Here we have the Siameses! Everyone in the first two columns has the honor of being part of the back-up crew - they're all from when I played Petz as a kid and are 15 years old. guimi and guimo are Linco's kids, while Lene and Kene are the kids of backed-up Siameses who ran away and haven't wanted to return to me (sob). Sophista has the high honor of being the only female (CRIES) and the dubious honor of having been pregnant for all 15 of those years (LOL). Her litter should be due tomorrow, though I'll be surprised if she gives birth to anything but a perfect group of little Siameses. (galfli and Littlefoot are from PUGS - thanks, fleurdelis and Bard!) Here are the girls expecting litters! There's Sophista with her 15-yo pregnancy (Sophisto's another runaway. RIP) and Lala, who's hopefully holding a grey Siamese girl, or honestly any girl at all. Both should be due soon! Of the litters I've planned, we have: I'd rather breed galfli and Fading Whisper to Siameses, but with no other adult girl available, I shall hope for a white-color-pointed grey Siamese, but I'm excited about whatever else they might throw at me! These two have been circling each other for HOURS since yesterday, but refuse to actually get it going. I'm going to sue (withdraw treats.) guimo and North were actively fighting, so I'm just glad they've started to get along enough to not, now XD Everyone else is still a kitten, so I'm waiting for them to grow! (Should be today... fingers crossed.) (Fading Whisper and North are also from PUGS - thanks, Bard!) And, aside from all that, we have fifi, the Honey Bear! She's part of the back-up crew and like Sophista the poor thing was pregnant for 15 years. But I don't care for Honey Bears, so I sped things up to see the babies and then return everybody... and fifi decided to throw two pink-eyed kids (boys too. LAUGH) at me! /shakes fist/ I'm keeping Ferris, but possibly adopting Flint out to anyone who might want him. It's really fun organizing them all like this. I feel like a baby again, messing with Mrs. Paint to organize all my petz... Maybe I'll find a better way to do it soon XD That's it for now, folks! Fran

MS Paint is great-- I still use MS Paint to do my tasks hahaha I need to learn a new art program as well.
I love Honey Bears :D They are such cute little beans!
I also love seeing these old petz from when you were a kid! Thank you for sharing the memories...I might need to find something with my petz.... Sadness I found a Excel Spreadsheet of my planned litters from when I was a kid... so I know the names and breedz of my petz but not the .pet files or even photos v.v

Thanks for leaving a comment Paint is great! But some people have such nice crew websites.. I wonder if there's something easy I can whip up to organize my petz XO Ahh it is great! Even though they're just normal, AC catz and dogz, they still feel so special. I hope you find something a little less heart-shattering than an excel with all your plans, but no pics to save! XD Now I'm posting my Dogz! These are the Dachies and the Poodles, I have more dogz but... let's be real, these are My Dogz. Oscar and guigui are part of the back-up crew, Sullivan, Aysta, Armando, and Sinistro are normal AC petz, A-Ying, A-Yao, and Huaisang are AC dachies, but of Autumn Down Kennel's dachie breed, and the rest are here curtesy of adoptions, purchases, and the mighty PUGS claw machine! Thank you Bec for ConXApo07 and 14, BraPre, and especially Sextou, who's now almost my favorite pet in the whole game. Thank you Bard for Jack, ParanoiaPage for Burmilla, and Mandi for Er-Ge! My plans are to breed as many awesome Dachies as I can, but I've got something a bit more thought-out for the Poodles - I want poodles with full coats in red, orange, and black, and I want them to breed true. Let's see if I can do it, and in how much time! I'm playing and raising them naturally, so it might take a long time XD Here are the pairings with litters... (I'm excited to see guigui's kids grown, and Bibi's as well! Biscar. Poor thing. XD And I'm sad... Neither of KuPe's kids were born with her white coat, her blue eyes, OR her brown nose ): here's hoping for next time! I'm planning on breeding her with the poodles then.) And the pairings awaiting litters! I hope for some more Dachies with bobtails and those clear eyes, as well as the grey-blue coat! Sextou and BraPre are both so close to what I want in poodles, I made Sextou a male for a second to breed them even though they're sisters to see if I get some babies that look like them (a nice break from throwing myself at the mercy of the genetic wildcards that all non-AC petz are XD) Sextou and Burmilla bred while I was trying to get Jack to choose one of them lmao. Burmilla is pretty big, but coat-wise she's basically BraPre with grey socks, so I was pretty happy about it anyway! The first two were bred yesterday, the last ones today - we'll see the babies soon! Thank you for passing by! Edit: An update on the cats! Sophista and Lala have had their kids, as well as Fading Whisper. I'm too lazy for pics after doing all the dogs, but Sophista had four perfect Siameses, one of whom was the dark color with orange color points! Fading Whisper and galfli, both pets I got on PUGS, rolled the genetic russian roulette and gave me two tabby babies, one with Alley Cat coloring XD Lala pulled through for me. She had one Russian Blue baby with Siamese color points (it's so hard to tell he's got color points at all XD), one little dark Siamese... and a completely grey Siamese, exactly what I was hoping for!! I called her Amor - the Portuguese word for 'love'

I don't think I'll ever find more than just the Excel sheet-- Petz was saved in Program Files v.v and I only saved my Documents when I did a backup with this Excel sheet. I hadn't played petz for so long I probably forgot to save games from my Program Files :\ And that's where the Pix would be. Oooo a Chihuahua x Dachie pairing! That was one of my first pairings when I returned to the PC! I wrote about it here: dj7.proboards.com/thread/7421/love-triangle-pg-wait-more

Ahh that's true! I did have my own petz saved in a separate folder just for them. Little-me really wanted to keep these petz in particular, for some reason XD They're not even the ones I remember most!
Thor, I read part of that, and then had to stop because I couldn't stop laughing. Arthur, that POOR THING. oh my goddd. I didn't know pugs don't have noses either!! Art imitates reality huh [cries]

Some updates on the catz! 3699 and Linco had two breautiful little meezers! Linco is one of the backup gang and an AC Siamese, but 3699 is a purchase (thanks, Bec!), so I was very surprised their babies weren't crazier! I checked, and apparently 3699's family is full of meezers, so that explains that XD Amora looks like another Siamese of mine, Ella (got on the claw machine, but a purebred Siamese! Yay!), but with different eyes. Mirtilo ('Blueberry') on the other hand looks so striking, with the puffy tail and the icy blue eyes! A pity she didn't inherit the calico black-and-white markings, but she's wonderful as is. I can't wait to breed her to... Foxtrap!!! I've been spamming pics of him everywhere, so you may know him XD I got him from Klomonx on PUGS, and Foxtrap now owns my soul, because he's about the prettiest thing I've ever seen! Some other updates: Ella (mentioned above) and Molgav (thanks, fleurdelis!) managed to give me an entirely black kitten! Molela's all textured, too, which I think is just wonderful. And I love Elgav with her mom's coloring... plus some white from dad! So cute. I'll die of love T v T) Kene is a 2nd gen Siamese and part of the backup gang, while North was another PUGS purchase (I forget from whom @o@), and again I was surprised and happy to get so many meezers! (I feel like the world is trying to comfort me after Fading Whisper and Galfli gave me a tabby and an Alley-colored tabby XD) Number 3 and 4 are twins! Fun! Number 2 has some nice markings! Number 1... well, she's not a meezer, but I love that she got her mom's exact spots! I've been busy breeding poodles, so no babies have left the nursery yet None of the dogz' either! Oops. But some have been born (mostly when I forgot to turn off 'babies should be born instantly' when going back to playing normally lmao): BraPre and Sextou had two little Sextous, while Burmilla and Sextou had one black little poodle I named Sinistro Speaking of breeding poodles: it's been super fun! I'm trying for completely white-coated small poods (including selfie eyelids!) with 171 blue eyes, that breed true. It's hard, but so rewarding! They don't breed true, but I've got about two dozen of those fully white poodles now One funny thing that happened: while I was breeding the latest gen, the pair was in Arabia, and I accidentally bred the girl to Scrappy [facepalm emoji] Meet Arabian Accident. (and her parents!)
Almost as if aware of exactly what I absolutely adore, Arabian Accident was born mostly poodle, with mom's icy blue eyes, with a smooth coat (!!) and with only one ear in brown. She's adorable. I DIE looking at her. I am in love. Fully white-coated-including-eyelids tiny poodles who? I only have Arabian Accident in my heart now. And!Due to her non-poodle dad!! Arabian Accident!!! Doesn't have a poodle personality and doesn't pose like a poodle! Giving me my only poodle I can show outside of poodle-only shows!!! With her beautiful eyes and her only little brown ear! The perfect dog!!!! I could cry. Between my love of poodles and my love of siameses, I almost only have petz that need breed-specific shows ToT) Well, not anymore This has been a partial update on how my crew has been! Thank you so much for reading this far. I leave you with a tiny pic of Amor: not grown yet, but at least mobile.

I'm still reading this but OMG. Huaisang is everything. Pleasepleaseplease let me know if they ever have babies! Also, Sniff Snorf's name is great. <3 I've got to ask, are you from a Portuguese-speaking country?

Thank you so much for reading, lobb! ; v ; Sangsang really is the cutest thing!! I plan on breeding him with other dachies and some poodles in the future > I need to get that little brown nose, those specs, and that mustache, like, on every dog I own. This is why I play this game. Sniff Snorff came named! I got her from Bard on PUGS. Her description was simply "get snorfed on". I had to have her XD Haha, I'm Brazilian! What gave it away? Edit: Wait, it was probably Sextou's name, right? XD

I hope you do breed him and you're right, you NEED those cute features on every dog! xD That description is amazing, I can see why you bought her! I wouldn't have resisted either. Does she snorf? I don't think I know what Sextou means, but it was names like "Armando" and "Sinistro" along with your mention of Portuguese

He's an Autumn Down Kennels breed, btw, if you're interested There are a LOT of variations, which is why I couldn't resist but adopt three of them, haha! She... honestly, mostly she barks a lot XD Sniff snorf is an excited girl, 24/7. I love her, but I'm glad I don't have her in real life, haha! (.......though I do have an excitable dachie in real life /dies) Ahh oops, it's a local slang XD It's from sexta-feira, as pessoas usam como um jeito de falar 'finalmente é sexta', 'sextou' do mesmo jeito q vc falaria 'choveu' ou algo assim. And I love these kinds of names! It's easy to get used to using English and English-sounding names, so I think it's nice to have names and shownames in our language! ^ v ^ (Edit: to translate what I said in Portuguese (oops), "It's from Friday, people use it as a way to say 'finally it's Friday', '(it) Friday'd' the same way you'd say 'it rained' or something like that.")

Ehehe I ended up checking out that breed and I love them! The variations are incredible (though I haven't seen any like your Huaisang, he seems to be extra unique). Excitable dogs are awesome! How old is yours? Maybe they'll mellow with age. Mine is a mutt and has calmed down a bit as an adult but he's still a total goofball I'd never heard that word, good to know! It's a useful name. I'm really bad at names/shownames so I usually just pick at random from any language. I've got a dog named "Lobo" because he looks like a wolf -- his name is totally uncreative so at least choosing from a language other than English makes it sound less obvious xD

I love ADK's breeds! I have the Cocker Spaniel and the English Spaniel as well, though I haven't adopted anyone in those breeds yet. She's a bit over two years old! She's a Dachie/Poodle mix (explaining why I ended up falling in love with the dog breedz now...) so you can imagine what a clever troublemaker she is. But poor thing, she just has a lot of energy, you know? Even when she barks all day or destroys/chews on my things, I don't get mad. It's not her fault, I should be playing with her and talking her on walks more. It's not like I didn't know what kind of dog I was signing up for XD I'm glad your boy mellowed out a bit hahah! Mutts end up being a surprise when it comes to what kind of dog you're getting, which can be incredible but also frustrating sometimes... I love goofball dogs! What's his name? I usually try to make nice references in shownames, but then I keep wondering if people get them XD (Like, Pangur's showname is Decifra-me Ou Devoro-te ("Decipher me or I will devour you" sorry English it just does not sound as cool as in PT! XD) because he's a Sphynx cat...) I love Lobo though! It may not be the most creative name out there, but I think having it in another language makes it special in a different way

Nah, I think mutts are ok! You can often tell, especially if you're getting them from a shelter or if the mix they are is clear. I knew what I was signing up for when I got him -- it's nice that he's mellowed out but I miss it when we could play for HOURS aha.
Pangur's show name is great, I love it!
(Sorry if this is incoherent, I'm extra sick today and can't words)

Ahh I didn't mean to imply otherwise - mutts are not only okay, but amazing dogs! I do think bred, purchased dogs can be more predictable, which can be necessary for certain people. And I think having the structure of the kennel behind you is just something else! Not with my dogs, but with my rats... we bought them at this amazing rattery, and the breeder is totally present and helpful, you know? My girl Darcy got cancer this year, and it started as an ingrown hair, and when it got worse, we were unsure if we'd just be overreacting if we returned to the vet... So we just posted on the zap group like "hey, is this normal for ingrown hairs or?" and if the breeder hadn't told us that it looked like a terrible, fast-acting kind of skin cancer and to take Darcy to the vet now, we might not have been so quick to do it. And for that I'm eternally grateful. (Darcy is fully recovered now, fat and beautiful and glowing with wealth! (^▽^) ) I wish everyone who had a pet had this kind of support, you know? But. Well, the reality is that bad breeders are easier to find than amazing ones. And there are so many, many terrible downsides to not doing proper research and choosing the best kennel possible that - well, when the predictable thing is how sick the dog is going to be, then I'd rather have a mutt who has more energy or is more anxious than I'd expected any day. Take it from someone whose mom bought a pompom from some garbage breeder last year. Came with parasites. Passed them to my other dog. Already snorting and sneezing because can't breathe properly. Big chance of life-long, chronic back pain issues. Life expectancy of 13 years. The breeder denied the parasites, only paid enough to shut me up, and hasn't returned my texts since then. I will just say: yikes. /DIES/ Ahh, I'm sorry for the wall of text! It's a subject I like talking about, I suppose. Or, a subject I get fired up talking about XD But thank you for reading! ------------------ On to my virtual petz instead! XD All the kittens from before are out of the nursery - some are up for adoption over at Duke's Group, if anyone wants to check them out! I can't believe I never properly introduced the troublemakin' trio here. pictured: prepare for trouble, then make it double! (triple?) This is Amor with Dude and Guy respectively! I never much cared for Russian Blues aside from getting grey meezers out of them, but I grew so fond of Dude. He's a bastard. Nasty, prickly little thing. Fights with everyone that isn't a sibling. Now that I think about it, that's probably sign of a meezer personality. Why do I only like arrogant, finnicky petz? Why do I do this to myself? You could just really see his (obnoxious) personality shining through, and I loved him for it. Looking at pics to make the collage above really made it obvious that 1. Guy is absolutely The Chill Sibling and that 2. these bros absolutely love each other. I absolutely stand by my decision to keep the whole trio instead of adopting out the kids who weren't the grey meezer I was breeding for. And I'm very glad I finally got PetzA to work with my catz, so the trio can be together again! Pretty sure I'd go to hell if I separated them.Now he's out of the nursery, I also realized Dude is mute. I should probably unmute him and allow him the full range of obnoxious noises he deserves to be able to make, but I actually kinda like this? He was born mute, he's perfect like this! And he obviously doesn't need noise to be able to express himself XDI liked this trio so much I had Lala and Linco breed again! They only had one baby this time, and he's a meezer with green eyes.
His name is, of course, Pal. Meanwhile, Lala and Guy are just /gazes beautifully at you/ I seriously love this gang. There's too much to talk about, so I'll choose two things! I adopted WOrst from Bard, who along with the love of my love Foxtrap had baby Wolftrap, a delightfully fluffy meezer! Who did he get this attitude from? His parents are the picture-perfect happy couple! And - head over to Polygondwanaland, gyiyg's website, 'cause they got a Siamese OW that killed me, it's so beautiful! I adopted Cheshire and Daniel, and I'm utterly in love. "bro these meezers above us don't even have elbow-length gloves" "excuse me sir have you seen my perfect grew pawpads"
That's it for now! Thank you for reading. (o゜▽゜)o☆
