Hello there! Time to introduce myself I’m Jayfeather, Jay if you want. I’m a girl, 26 years old, and I live in Germany, Black Forest. I don’t believe my english ist bad, but if you spot mistakes, please tell me! Especially grammar. Always improving myself (or, at least trying). I actually quit Petz almost 10 years ago, I believe I was active until 2010 / 2011 and then still was around until 2012 / 2013, but not that active anymore. My computer crashed (because it was reeeeally old) and I lost almost all of my pets, toyz, hexies, and that frustrated me very much . I also lost all the breedz, which is kind of a shame because I had every breed that was around at that time and some of them are nowhere to be found anymore. I’m so sad to see so many sites went down. During my active petz years, I was part of a german forum (worldofpetz). The community was small, but so nice, kind and creative. Sadly, when I returned to petz a few days ago (out oft he sudden, by the way, I didn’t plan that) I found the forum abandoned, no one was around anymore, and I was so sad, because you know, petz without other petz-people is not that much fun. I’m glad I found you guys. I was so excited to find out this forum still exists and there are active players! I can’t wait to start again! Back then, I was going wiiiild with CK Border Collies, MaineC VPZs, Cali Mixies and Dali Mixies because I love color variations. Also Siberian Huskies, but I don’t find that breed anymore. There where thousands of petz, hundreds of PetzA profiles (thank god sherlock software is still available). I love to breed for others and had a breeding service running and plan to do that again. Maybe some of you also like these breeds? And maybe even some of you would like to share some 8+ generation mixies with me to help me get started? Greetings <3 Jayfeather

I can relate with the pain of losing Petz...I lost my first few batches of Petz ever to corruption. -.- What I've learned...is always, ALWAYS back up your Petz. Maybe I'm overly paranoid now, but I back Petz up in several places as I'm determined to never lose anyone again. I even 'remade' some of the first mixies I lost, just to sort of have a piece of them. It'll never be the same, but it's also comforting too.
I can't say the same about other people, but I feel like at the very least, I will -always- be an active Petz player. Even in my moments of not playing as much as I used to, I still open the game daily. xD I've found it to be soothing for anxiety and other issues, and almost calming when I need it. It's a really great game, and I've been addicted for years, and I see no sign or reason to stop loving it as much as I always have.
I don't have any mixies to offer you as of right now, but if you're looking for high-gen mixed breeds, I've...literally got tens of thousands of Petz. :X My crew, linked in my signature, is insane. And always up for breeding requests, if you want to pick someone for me to breed for you. Although I don't blame you if it's overwhelming. xDD
Cali and Dali mixies seem to be weirdly popular! They're either everyone's favorite, or a very common result in breeding, because they've been everywhere as long as I can remember! xD And those parts of my crew are especially large since there's always so many! I think you'll definitely find some more of those, as well as people wanting more!
Anyway, nice to meet you! ^^

Thank you Bec and leashykitty for your warm welcome Also, thank you CatCreature. I'm sorry you also had to endure such a loss. Isn't it weird how we build up such a deep connection to a bunch of pixels? I had a mixie named Knurrer, he was a very mean alley with tabby coat. But he was so special to me. I also lost my favourite hexie ever that I got from a very nice friend back then. She hexed my real cat Merlin, and I miss this hexie more than ever, now that he's forever gone. I will definitely back up my petz now - well, at least the most important ones. And I will DEFINITELY take a look at your crew! I love mixies, I think I just like the idea that the petz are more... unique.

Welcome back to Petz! And Welcome to RKC! Your English looks really nice to me. English is a tricky language to learn to write in. Even though I grew up speaking, and writing it, I still end up running how to spell something though Google... Sometimes several times a day. I had a brush with loosing my petz due to a tech that refused to listen to me (I didn't store things in My Documents because of being afraid of viruses, and the folder got wiped during an computer upgrade. Thankfully I had diskettes). So, I keep multiple back ups now like CatCreature . (It's time for me to make a new CD back up come to think of it.) I have a grab bag thread in petz talk if you'd like some random mixes :-)

Welcome back to petz! I also recently rejoined the community after many years, sadly also don't have any of my old petz. As well as the adoptions here on the forum, I recommend joining The Flea Market (an auction site) as there's a lot listed on there at the moment so that'll help get you started, then you can breed/list petz of your own on there.

Welcome! It's great to have you here and your English is phenomenal. I too have had bouts of coming in and out of the petz community usually after losing everything to computer issues. It seems we all have that in common or at least the fear of. Anyway, I think you'll like it here because I agree the joy of petz is greater when there's others to share it with! Looking forward to talking more as well as seeing you around. I'd love to help you with a start up crew. <3

Welcome, jayfeather! I'm glad Petz fever has seized you again in 2020 -- it seems to be a source of comfort for many of us during these tough times. Hope you're staying safe and healthy, and can't wait to see your mixies!
