I saw Creatures pop up on a site and ended up looking up Petz since I was obsessed with this game from childhood into my early 20s. I stopped playing because I got busy with University and my hosting company randomly shut down so I lost everything. Life goes on I guess.
I was Angel (early!) and Debbles/Debz over at Teardrop Kennelz & Cattery (TDK prefix) which was started around 08JUL2000. I really missed this community!
I am actually really excited that a community for this game still exists and can't wait to explore this "classic" as an adult.
Any old friends still around?

Welcome back! I feel so old playing this game but it's great to see people still enjoying these goofy little pixel petz.

Hey fairylight! I love seeing folks pop in who had websites back in the day. Do you have any screenshots or graphics from it?
I wasn't involved enough in the community to know who was who at any point, but I do stare at the owner names in my family tree histories and wonder about them and where they are now -- especially the names that often appear together. I hope you find some old acquaintances here!

Hi! I remember you! I don't think we ever got to hang out, but I'm really glad to see you again! Welcome Back Debz!
I'm still StancyMcKatt as I was back when (Stancy McKatt's Hangout).

Welcome to RKC ^^ Same thing happened to me, university was tough and I was going through a lot of stuff at the time so I let petz go. But, hey, there's still a community and that's worth celebrating! I think I saw you joined Petzcord, too? We're glad you're here c:

Welcome back! I feel so old playing this game but it's great to see people still enjoying these goofy little pixel petz. Don’t feel old, feel more experienced and wiser Hi! I remember you! I don't think we ever got to hang out, but I'm really glad to see you again! Welcome Back Debz! I'm still StancyMcKatt as I was back when (Stancy McKatt's Hangout). Omg, hi! I remember you, but I think more in passing. Its so nice to see someone from back then! How have you been? Hey fairylight! I love seeing folks pop in who had websites back in the day. Do you have any screenshots or graphics from it? I have one or two old photos actually. I found a screen shot in my Petz external HD backups, but only of one of my designs. Sadly my more elaborate layouts are gone..maybe wayback machine has one..

I also went through a lot of stuff and ended up having to let Petz go. I did join Petzcord, I’m Phayom on there. I should probably change my name to something else in the group to be more recognizable. Its quiet on there, but everyone has been so nice to far!
Thank you ALL for such a warm welcome! I feel so blessed! I can't wait to get to know all of you!

Mostly just "Busy with life" is the simplest way to boil things down. [rofl] I had to do an internet detox for quite awhile. I'm slowly getting back into a few things that I used to super enjoy, and trying to stick to that. Mainly Petz, Animal Crossing (Pocket camp this time), reading, and artwork/crafts (yay for Instagram, so much simpler than having to fight with a gallery site or Deviant art!) I'm working very very slowly on putting a petz site together... I hope I stick with it. I hope things have been mostly well for you! :-) .

Yeah that's probably simplest way to boil it down on this end of the monitor as well. Life seems to get busy and next thing you know 10 years have passed and you're not quite sure where you've been all that time. Or maybe that's just me?
Sometimes an internet detox is a good thing..it'll probably help you enjoy all the things you loved even more! I really love Animal Crossing as well. Its relaxing and absolutely adorable!
Honestly, once I got back to work I hope I stick with Petz too. It would be perfect for me with my hours since a lot of it seems to still be forum based and not 'real time'. I want to create a new site as well, its exciting!
What kind of crafts do you do?

Card making, Drawing, Painting, Knitting, Crochet, Sewing... Occasionally Jewelry making, and macrame. And a few other odds and ends.
Do you do any?

Like..people actually made THAT with their hands? Its amazing.

You may have just not found the one that grabs you yet. Creativity is like a muscle. The more you use it, the more you have. And it can be built. You have some creativity, the old website layouts prove it! Programming a website takes creativity, know how, and hands to type the code. I hope you can stick with it here when you get back to work. Having a bit of time to breath and think about what to type helps a lot. It's nice to not have something that you have to reply to right off... like other, newer, social media sites can be.
