I like the idea of vets office. Maybe we can make a required checkup for dukes group petz once every couple of months to keep it open?

I run the primary vet clinic and, in all honesty, I don't think we need it. It's a nice idea but it's not very practical. I mean, to send a pet over to somebody for a check up or stuff like that is cute but you could also just pretend to take the pet to the vet in your game and use PetzA to check their stats and be like, "Well, she started to develop a cold." Especially for check ups, it's very pointless because half the time it's just, "Well, her hunger is at 0" or that and that's sort of useless. And if your pet is sick, you can usually tell because they sneeze or cough or if they have fleas, they constantly groom themselves. It's not that hard to self diagnose.
I think we could create a possible hotel board instead of the vet office, where people can post and send their petz to designated people (ie. trusted members) if they're going away for more than 2 days. That might get more use.

I agree with Artemis, it's not very practical anymore especially since we don't do the sim game anymore. And we already have a pet sitting board, so we don't really need a 'hotel' type board in my opinion. Though if more people like the idea, then I'd be willing to give it a try.

I actually really like the hotel idea. But I think someone needs to find/make hotel room pictures and stuff, and there could be a thread of whatever room numbers where owners could check on their petz, and see what they're doing. Like switch up the pictures to playing fetch, sleeping, eating, etc.

Oooh that's a lovely idea Vanilla! I like that Haha I'd be sending my pets just to see lol Okay, I will be changing Vet board to Hotel board. Vanilla & Dragon, you are in charge of it! Let me know if you need sub-boards or anything and what you want them to be called. Or if you need anything else just let me know!

WHOO I GET TO BE IN CHARGE OF SOMETHING
Allright, so should I draw the hotel room or should I search for stock photos on the interwebs? Regardless I can still do petzpix editing to make them look epic and such. :3

Alright change of plans. I am keeping the Vet board but I will be re-vising it so be sure to check in that thread here soon for the revisions! I think it will be a lot better!
I've named a board - Petz Resort Hotel above pet sitting. Let me know what you'd like for a description for that board, I just typed something real quick. Also decide if both of you or 1 of you will be watching the pets that are sent in.
Dragon, it's all up to you! Do it however you like!
