Hiii everyone! I hope you're all doing well ♡
I spent the majority of today going down the pc memory lane via the Wayback Machine. I'm so excited to share that I found an old crew list of some of my favorite petz from back in my LWKC days (2001-2003). I'm really happy to have a little piece of my petz history now and to be able to share it with anyone who is interested in seeing this kinda thing, hehe. Sadly though, the images are broken so we cannot see my beautiful, old petz... T_T
I also saw that my friend Henna (Velvet Pawz) made four of my petz into custom Petzies for me! But again, these images are broken so I cannot see them. It's too bad that the Wayback Machine didn't do a better job at archiving my old site ^^;; But anyway, here are the write-ups for each pet! Maybe someday I'll name my future petz after them to honor them, hehee ♡
Does anyone remember the sites or owners of Deviasion, Splitters, Enthronia, Ortilla, BlueIce-Inc, or Quibbletown II? These are some of the sites that my petz are from.

I loved BlueIce-Inc back in the day! And especially Velvet Pawz, I miss that place.

Definitely remember Splitters! I’m gonna go on an external hard drive search tonight and see if I can find my calico from there among other treasures! Will share later if I find good stuff

Well. I hit the motherlode. Probably the most entertaining are my "edited petz photos" Summer photo editing contest (going to prom lololol) I didn't make this one but I must have saved it because I thought it was SO RAD I found all my dog Chansey's show awards from the first time he got SGCh (but I showed him again last year!) I also found a show award for an old dog that I am CURRENTLY SHOWING!! hahaha As well, my very first site logo And the award for the very first dogz show I judged. Had to laugh because that would be DQd now for several reasons and never win first lol! Wow this award needs something. *BUTTONIZE* There are also dozens of retro site awards ie And plenty of graphic gifts ie So much random nostalgia. Anyone remember these? And a whole folder of midi files. Ahhhh, 1999.

OMG RHO That's absolutely amazing. I'm freaking out!
You totally have to add those show points to Chansey! (Named after the Pokemon? Hehee) Are there any site names listed on those awards? They're too small for me to see!
And those gorgeous edited petz photos!! xD That style was SO popular back then! Do you remember how to do it? I'm thinking we used the flare effect and had the actually white circle point away from the pet and then the pet just fell in the shadows/highlights? ALSO, THE SPARKLES! They were Paint Shop Pro brushes, right? UGH I need to start doing that again, bahaha! I never made the wings before though. They look so cool! How were they done?

Bunni It's fun to see the writeups even without the pictures. Blue Ice is another one that I miss, her site was very pretty. I still have the OWBF for her huskies in my Petz Folder from when she released it for download before she let her site expire. Rho. The Russian Blue Princess and the prom ones are very cute, and the Sonic one is funny. :-) I vaguely remember the name Lucky Kennels. I'm not sure if I went to your site or just saw the name around.

Ooh yes stancymckatt-- I loved finding this little write up of a few of my old favorite petz. This was taken from my site called Etcetera.

Bunni Haha! I should! Yep, named after the Pokemon no doubt. My brother and I were also really into Pokemon at the time. Chansey's awards are from: Fleetwood Kennelz (my online petz bestie Katie from Michigan's wesbite), HPH (I believe Happy Petz House?), Sunwood & Rosewood Kennels (my Swedish friends' site), Yori's Petz Page, Shady Petz, Danez 'R Us, Cybriar, Charm07's Chat Show, FBCK, and a few unnamed awards. Hmmm flare effect does ring a bell! I might have even been using an inner shadow or something ghetto like that. The eye sparkles were definitely a paint shop pro brush. I super loved that one lol!! The wings one looks like I traced a selection path and filled it with a colour, added noise, and then used the smudge tool to drag the wings down. And then more sparkle brush of course! And I found my Splitters calico! Named by Laura, I never would have come up with that lol stancymckatt Possibly! In the last few years of Lucky Kennelz it was pretty much a page set up to need no maintenance. Like downloadable adoptions & litters plus a crew page.

Rho: Hmm none of those sites that you received awards from ring a bell to me. I was lowkey hoping one was from my old site, LWKC, haha. I used to love making awards for my shows! Ooh I totally need to find/make a sparkle brush for Photoshop now LOL And omigosh, her name is Fascist? Rofl, I'm dead xD

Love the wings. Always wanted to learn how to draw them.

I loved Splitters and Deviation! (And Velvet Paws, of course!) I have a bunch of petz from Deviation although I think they were all downloadbles. I do have one purebred calico from Splitters! This is her pic on my crew site lol It's really cool seeing all these old things from two decades ago! I was playing petz and browsing website back then too, but I didn't have a website of my own and was more of a lurker than anything. I do remember some of the sites, though, and definitely those picture editing contests!

Oh how awesome that you managed to find your old site, Bunni! A shame the pics didn't survive, but it must have been a fun trip down memory lane! I can't remember any of the sites you mentioned, so I must not have been around in the PC at that time (how cool that there was another Laura at Splitters though, yay!) Now you've got me wondering if I could somehow find my old sites. I have no idea what the URLs were now, but I might have to go on an internet hunt later... I'd just DIE if I found my very first site again! XD Rho OMG, those edited pet photos - the nostalgia is hitting me SO HARD right now, hahaha! We should totally revive that as a thing within the PC again... *-*

I was around when everyone started drawing those wings. I could never figure out how. I had a site or two but I didnt release them to the fans. I was also not on the message boards and such. I was a ghost, lol
