MISTLETOE & TURKEY
Mistletoe was adopted from Bunni via the WW Advent and Turkey was adopted from Thor on PUGS. These two were immediately friends <3 (gave them matching blue bow and bandana!)
Day One & Two
Picked their accessories and then onto individual play. First up Mistletoe! Testing.. Testing.. Testing..
Tennis Ball is the winner! The one toy she kept going back too.
Turkey's turn! Sniff sniff sniff.. sleep.
He never did choose a toy.. so more on that another day! He was getting hungry so figured I'd better feed him. He nibbled from the blue, silver, and green bowls, finally finishing off the green (took a while as he was constantly distracted by the roaches).
Brought Mistletoe out for her meal.. She nibbled from every bowl and then longingly stared at the mugs on the counter instead of eating. Giving up on the mugs she angrily ate out of the green bowl for a few seconds and then finished off the blue bowl xD
She was getting tired so I took her to the Family Room to see if she favored a pillow to sleep on, even though that "activity" was planned for a few days from now... but she got distracted by mice and fell asleep on the floor in the "middle" of all the pillows xD Goodnight pups <3

Day Three & Four
Stopped off at the Circus first and played with Misha - everyone got along great! I kept trying to get Mistletoe and Turkey to jump through the hoop, then Misha did it and THEN both Mistletoe and Turkey did it - maybe this is one of those times they learned how to do it by watching an adult dog? If so that's pretty cool! Noticed they're fullness bars were low so we stopped in the kitchen for a nice snack
And then off to the Wild West to meet Pepe! Although Pepe didn't stick around long, he sat while the pups playfully barked at him, then he ran off the other side of the scene and didn't return bahaha! Oh well!
Mistletoe and Turkey had fun playing together on their own at least!
Finally - Arabia playtime with Jones! (not sure what happened there with Turkey, I think he tripped and then his eyes went bonkers haha)
And a nap <3
And for day four, check out my Fresca & Duke thread, Mistletoe and Turkey played with the kittens in the South Seas!

Day Five & Six
Tried out a few new toys today! The Jack-o-Lantern, Car, and Plane.
They LOVED chasing the plane..
And couldn't have cared less about the car xD
Neither had strong reaction to the Jack-O-Lantern. Mistletoe wanted to play with it and although Turkey wasn't afraid and didn't get angry or anything, he did seem to prefer keeping his distance. Every time I moved it close to him he'd run away and give it unsure glances haha
Now time for a nice brushing! They both loved it, I mean what pet doesn't? lol.. Mistletoe didn't mind at all if I brushed Turkey, but Turkey on the other hand seemed to get a bit jealous! He would bark at me, try to be playful, and even knocked the brush out of my hand once.
I checked the sliders and we played until their Energy was around 25 and headed to the Family Room to see if they'd pick a favorite pillow this time, and success! Took some waiting but they both checked out a few of the pillows, then circled and finally lay down on the yellow and blue ones <3
So I'm going to say that Mistletoe's fave color may be yellow, she chose the Tennis ball as her favorite toy on Day one and now the yellow pillow. Turkey, still unsure, no consistency in his choices.
Day Six, we played in the backyard! They both loved the watering can, and had so much fun playing together <3
Then we picked a favorite flower and grew some! (Thanks Thor for the idea!) Mistletoe ultimately chose daisies and Turkey chose violets.
I decided to check out their personalities with GoalDescriptor today and they have a pretty similar personality, which I've noticed because they generally have similar reactions to things so I wasn't surprised. But.. poor Mistletoe - 0 intelligence xD Not that Turkey is much better haha

To comment on this, YES! Adult petz can teach young petz to jump through the hoop!! I.... I should have used this when my two failures of a Great Dane personality dogz wouldn't jump through hoops.....
@eyes going bonkers in Arabia-- I think the genie lamp does that?
Sometimes I notice that dogz don't always seem to have a "favorite". I wonder if it's only for finnicky petz that their favorites really stand out more?
Also I'm such a big fan of Mistletoe.... she's sooo cute! They are dumb and cute but I love them <3

Thor That's so awesome they can teach them so much, so cool! And yeah I assume that because they have 0 finickiness, its harder to determine their favorites which makes me sad haha I really want to know! At least Mistletoe seems to be a little more consistent? haha Also thanks for reading! I'm enjoying my time with them but I'm so bad at sharing pics of my petz so I'm glad I'm doing this at least - AND that someone is interested in reading <3
