I've got a thread at Duke's Group where I post more regular, diary-type updates, but I thought I'd make a thread where each update is about a different pet or two. I've got some that I never have an excuse to show off, so
This is a dog I bred! I still don't have a name for her. She's super weird and goofy and I LOVE it.
The way she runs is just completely ridiculous. She throws her head back and then skips and it's so bizarre. I haven't seen any other pets run like that.
This is how she often responds when I take pictures. MAJESTIC.
Hilariously, even when there are toys around, she seems to enjoy just running around in circles. She's constantly bumping against things and makes a weird high-pitched "boh?!" when she does. Just watching her cracks me up!
This is one of the times when she's actually picked up the stick. I've honestly seen her spend a small eternity just jumping on the stick and pushing it down the screen xD Her favourite toy is the auto-rolling ball, but she gets startled when it bumps against her.
She actually has a sibling that I might adopt out at some point! I like his/her feet a ton better and it's made me wonder if I could hex them on her (I don't want to breed them together because they're siblings... plus, I think I accidentally deleted their parents). I only noticed this yesterday, though!

Oh my gosh, I love her so much!! x'DDD It looks like YOU actually have the llama dog! (More-so than I do, with Xixize! xD) She's so tall and has such a narrow head...such unique looks!! I love her!! I currently have no idea for a name, but she needs something super fancy, because she clearly thinks highly of herself! xD It looks like she has some Poodle in her, with that snooty, nose-in-the-air way of running! I love Poodles xDD Her sibling is so cute too!! And the feet almost look like lizard feet, haha! Funnily enough, I actually think I like the legs/paws on the black pup better...hmm. You know, I don't want to be rude and outright ask for the sibling pup...buuut, if you wanted, I could take him/her, borrow yours, and maybe swap around their feet/legs? xDD Then we'd both have fun llama Dogz with our preferred feet and legs! (What a bizarre thing to do for someone LOL) Entirely up to you though! ^^ And whatever this new look of Dogz is, I think it needs to become popular. Everyone needs a dog like this, LOL!! I love them! Also, I love your idea of featuring a different pet each time! It'll make it fun to see who's next, and it gives you a chance to spend more time with the Petz you might not normally spend as much time with! Fun for everyone!!

CatCreature Xixize is obviously a perfect baby sheep <3 I'm glad you like her! She's actually a Borzoi mixie hahaha. I've been enjoying getting random non-OW breed files and seeing what babies the game comes up with. I had no idea Poodles ran like that, now I kind of want to get a Poodle just to try it out because it's hilarious. You can definitely ask for the sibling pup, that's not rude at all! I'd rather see him go to someone who likes him (you, in this case) than just gathering dust in my breeding folder. I'm pretty indecisive about my dogs' feet, the fluffy feet look so goofy, but the sibling's lizardy feet just look so alien and I love them. Maybe I could keep both version of her and it'll be like... her winter paws and her paws when she gets a summery haircut haha. Anyway, I'll send them both over, thank you so much for offering to do this! I'd also be glad to try to breed more dogs like these if people are interested, or just dig up the link to the Borzoi file I used (I thiiink they're just Borzoi mixed with some default breeds like sheepdog but I'll have to check). I'm glad you like the idea! I'm feeling lazy about updating my crew site so this gives everyone a chance to shine hahaha. --- Today's pet is Bell! Some of you may have seen her in shows before
My track record with catz has been kind of spotty, I've mainly gotten Alleys and Alley mixes hahaha. I ended up being able to get the Moggie file to work (thanks to CatCreature's thread) and the first one that came out of the door after that was Bell. I immediately liked her looks and how calm she is. She's the only one of all my petz who's actually stood still and paid attention long enough to pose!
She gets along with pretty much everyone. I was kind of afraid of introducing her to Ruffian, but nope, she was very chill from the start and the two even play together sometimes! At worst, they just ignore each other. Bell is very drama-free, I love it.
She's got a mischievous streak, too, of course
She loves the auto-rolling ball because everyone seems to love it. I'm not sure how the pompom in that one cat toy came off, though. O.o

I sent over your fixed pup, and thanks again for mine!! <3 I also love mixing random files together...I have since I was a kid xDD I get some pretty weird things sometimes, but it's always fun! And that could be fun keeping both versions of your dog! xDD
Bell is adorable!! And she looks really nice along-side Ruffian too, I love their black coats so much! <3
And haha, I never know if anyone loves the auto rolling ball or not, because I've never seen a pet NOT go after it. It seems like it's so distracting that Petz literally won't resist chasing it, so I usually never count it as a favorite toy possibility just because they all react the same to it. It DOES, however, make for a very useful weight loss tool! xD If you have a chubby pet you want to slim down naturally, leave them out with the auto-rolling ball for a while until they're either slimmer or need a break for food/napping, and then resume again later as needed. Works better than anything else I've tried, haha!
Sometimes the cat dancer's tip comes off like that. o.O I think it might be a glitch...if it's in a place where you can't get rid of it, you could try removing the toy from the game, running the game once, then closing it and putting the toy back, and it should fix it. Just a tip! ^^ I kinda think it's fun though!
How come you got a lot of Alleys and Alley mixies? Does it happen to be a favorite breed of yours? The Alleys are actually one of my favorites...possibly my top favorite cat! xD They are SO funny, and for all the growly and grumpy behavior, they're so sweet underneath it all!! I love them! <3

CatCreature Seriously, I'm not a huge fan of breeding in any systematic way (I get bored) but mixing stuff together is just really fun. Sometimes the results are totally worth it! Thanks for the compliment about Bell, she was the first moggie to walk out and I just HAD to adopt her immediately. Thanks for the weight loss tip! I do have a couple of chonky dogs who could probably lose a bit of weight haha. The auto-rolling ball just seems to be mesmerising for everyone. xD Though I have a dog who's gotten startled by it a couple of times. I'm not getting rid of the pompom, ever. I just love it and I keep forgetting it's there. I definitely have a soft spot for Alleys/Alley mixies! They've got so much personality and you're completely right, they're really sweet when you get past their grumpy exterior. Plus, I just love their wonky faces/tails haha. --- I forgot to post before (I've been kind of a mess) so today, here's two members of my crew.
This is Caro, I got her from The Flea Market. I know she's not super distinctive-looking, but I don't know, I just immediately liked her. I like how her eyebrows are barely visible so they look a bit like a fringe. She's a really sweet baby, though I don't know much about her yet.
(If you bred her or know who did, please please tell me. I started another thread just to ask that. I got distracted and deleted the auction before I could write down her owner.)
This is Cookie, another TFM acquisition (from Jayote). I've been trying so hard to keep my crew small but I knew I'd failed when I saw him. He's even better in-game, he's EXTREMELY cuddly. He doesn't seem like a big fan of playing by himself (he often just sits or lies down instead) but ugh I love him.

What do you mean?? Caro looks fantastic! xD Lab face, Chi ears, Sheepie and Mutt markings, little (Dachshund?) legs...she's got plenty of diverse traits and the result is one crazy cute little shortie pup! <3 I'd have gotten her too, if I found a dog like that, she's lovely and so adorable!! I also really like Cookie's colors! Sometimes just basic black and white together is all you need! They look so satisfying together...and always make me crave Oreos, LOL I love how chill he looks! xDD

Jayote I definitely love him, thanks for selling him. <3
CatCreature Sorry, I guess that didn't come across right. I meant that compared to some of my other petz she looks really normal and I've seen other dogs like her! She's really special to me and I really love the way she looks. Her short legs are just so funny! I wonder how she'll turn out as an adult haha.
---
Today's pup is Jonas!
He's one of the pets I've had the longest, because I bred him within my first couple of days or so of playing the game. I just really love how he looks kind of like a Muppet.
He's got a huge personality and is always goofing off and doing tricks for the camera, so I've picked him to enter freestyle contests and earn trick titles on Duke's Group.
He was really tiny as a puppy, I can't believe how much his grown! He still has the same energetic, show offy personality, though.
He recently went over to CatCreature's game for a playdate, where he unexpectedly found TRU LUV... resulting in a baby, Moonchild. Here she is, curling up next to her old dad for a nap. <3 (She'll get her own post, of course.)
Jonas is one of the main members of my crew, one of those pets that are ALWAYS in my game. I just really love him

Hehe, don't worry about it, I was only teasing! But I see what you mean, most of your Petz seem to come from overwrites or external breedfiles, where Caro is mostly original breeds, like Cookie! ^^ I have a ton of shortie Dogz like her...they're a major weakness of mine! I have a pretty good estimate what size she's going to be when she grows up! It's a little easier for me to tell with original breeds, but I'll let it be a surprise to you! xD Yay, Jonas!! After getting to meet him, and watching his sweet, adorable epic love story unfold...he's become a favorite of mine too! xD He really is such a fluffy, adorable boy...he looks so much like a plush toy, I wish I could hug him!!

^ I actually have some dogz bred using the default breeds that look really unique! Of course, I didn't breed them, I don't have those kinds of skillz yet You're right about Jonas looking like a plush toy! If I had enough money, I'd probably commission a custom plushie of him because his look is just so spot on for one.
---
Today I decided to do something a little bit different: I'm going to show some breeding results I've gotten and how conflicted I feel about them hahaha.
I recently started breeding catz -- I was aiming for a black cat with two fangs (like a vampire kitty) but instead I got this:
I just love the way he looks, I think he's earned himself a permanent spot in my game!
I also bred these two siblings. Is it just me or do they both have fangs?? I'm not sure if I want to keep them both in my game as pseudo-twins or just choose one.
Another breeding result I liked was this weirdly chonky cat! I'm really on the fence about keeping him or not.
Things are even worse on the dogz side of things, because I've had so many breeding results I've liked or at least didn't hate and I'm really indecisive.
I like this dog's round ears.
This is one I'm DEFINITELY keeping! I kind of overlooked her at the first but I really like how she looks in-game. She looks so simple but neat.
This dog has thick eyebrows and this plus the "pants" make her look kind of like an old man.
I also found another llama dog in one of my folders... and I'm so indecisive about keeping him.
This is just the tip of the iceberg so I'm already feeling kind of overwhelmed. I wanted to have a small crew but there are so many petz I like Plus, while I'm probably going to adopt out some of my breeding results, I don't think all of them would find a home. (And yes, I've deleted many that just went totally wrong and glitchy.)

Oooh I LOVE the grey kitty!! He looks SO soft with those colors and that fur and ahh! How cute!! I love the little panda looking pup too!! <3 Your comment on the poor little lady dog looking like an old man made me laugh...but you're kinda right!! xDD And ooh I LOVE the look of that 'llama' dog as well!! He looks so wooly, and I love the mask, giant feet and ears!! Haha, a small crew was never an option for me. xD With a game that has THIS MANY possibilities...it's impossible for me to only choose SOME. There's always going to be lots of amazing Petz. All you can do is try to adopt out who you can if you want to give them a shot, and see who will get new homes.

CatCreature thank you! I'm so happy with how the grey came out, and he's so gentle, too. I love him. I can try to breed you an identical one if you'd like! The game has WAY TOO MANY possibilities, even more so with downloadable breeds... I just want all the petz. All of them. I'm planning on making an adoptions post one of these days because I've got so many nice petz who need a good home. --- I wanted to avoid adopting new petz for a while, but then stancymckatt posted some cats on WW and I just couldn't resist.
This is Abloom! I love her pattern and how fuzzy she is, it's like she's wearing an oversized sweater. <3
Next up on the list was Moonchild!
Her origin story is in CatCreature's thread. She's so pretty, I love her icy blue eyes and her colours.
She's really sociable with other dogs and seems to be fine around them, but when she's by herself, she gets scared really easily. She seems to be wary of most toys xD
I only discovered that recently because I usually bring her out with Jonas and his friends (her "uncles") and hadn't spent much time with her one-on-one. She's really hyper, though, she's always running around... sometimes she'll even ignore the toys and run around aimlessly because why not.

(And yes, I've deleted many that just went totally wrong and glitchy.) Other than trying not to have too many of any one color (looks at her solid white dogs)... I've mostly given up on an upper limit. As long as they're not in the main adoption folder, and you have back ups. There's no harm in having loads unless it just annoys you to no end. One quick way to pass out a load of pets is grab bags. They're always fun :-) I wanted to avoid adopting new petz for a while, but then stancymckatt posted some cats on WW and I just couldn't resist. This is Abloom! I love her pattern and how fuzzy she is, it's like she's wearing an oversized sweater. <3 An oversized sweater is a fun image XD I'm glad you're happy with her!
