Hey everyone! So happy to be back and to see people still here! Looking once again to improve the group, hoping for people to suggest things you'd like to see added, and suggest things you don't think there's much of a need for anymore. Example for that is the money thing and the bank, anybody think we should keep that around? We could still have the jobs and the what not, but do we still want the bank and have to pay for things? Also, do you think we should lower the limit of pets again or keep it the same? Limit would go back to 5-6 if we did. I haven't beed doing very well at keeping up with the Warnings and Karma, I think I'm going to get rid of the warnings and give Karma to who ever I think deserves it. Thanks again for sticking around guys, I want this to be the best club it can possibly and I certainly need everybody's help to do that! I'm looking for more Contest ideas as well, so please fill free to chime in! EDIT: Idea just came to me, what would you think about adding in a Role Play type thing with the petz? It would be like the realistic Role play games with the wolves and horses, only with our Petz. I could add in a new Catagory, and put boards and such we could role play in. The characters would be our petz. I always thought it would be fun. What do you guys think? Or is that confusing?

I've always wanted to role play Patches, so that would be cool. I think you should keep the limit though. I'm not sure about the money, but definitely keep the jobs. I'm thinking of opening a daycare to satisfy my boredom with other people's petz instead of adopting more. I think once everybody gets back in the swing of things I'll open a racing competition. If more people don't start popping around soon I think I'll try and contact them to let them know that you're back. And a random note, don't save your pics as JPEGs, save 'em as PNGs or GIFs.

Oh yeah, I forgot to set the setting in petz! Thanks for reminding me!
Awesome, thanks for your input! I would love it if you opened a daycare, I'm in need of one. I did an pm all thing, and I also posted the link at the RKC forum to see if anybody else was interested in joining. We'll see how it goes. Thanks again!

Hey, I got an idea today while at work, it's still in the works and I need more ideas and such, but I thought it might be fun... We could play kind of like a board game... With Cards... I could put all of our names on paper, and do a drawing thing like once a week or something. I'd then write down all of our petz names and keep them seperate. On another piece of paper, I'd write a whole bunch of things that could happen like: * Sick dog, needs vet care * Dog has lice * Dog met up with skunk and got sprayed * Hurt paw * Lost dog Etc... There'd also be good things, but can't think of them right now. And those are just quick thoughts, I'd try to make them a little more descriptive and such. Any ways, here's how it would go. 1st I'd draw a member name, Say I drew Sendy's name. Then I'd draw out of her petz to see which pet it would happen to, then I'd draw a card that had the description of what happens to that dog. Example: 1. Sendy 2. Patches 3. Got sick, needs vet care Sendy would then need to send Patches to the Vet to get checked out... We'd of course then need a vet and such. This would open up more 'jobs' and a whole new aspect to the game I think. We could get really creative with it I think. I also think we should do a trial run of it for like a month and see if we like it or not and if we keep up with it. Any questions, suggestions, ideas? ---------------------------------------- EDIT: Just wanted to show off my new puppy! Her name is Tonka, I couldn't resist to add her to the family, I've been thinking about her for days. She is first Gen, straight from the AC and the first one out. I love her green eyes! Isn't she cute! She hasn't met the others yet. I'm hoping her and Phieve will hit it off .

Ooh, I like this idea. It reminds me a monopoly. I think we'd need some of our members to be more active though. It doesn't seem like the people that joined since you put the link on RKC have put in a member application yet.
Of topic, but if we have pets up for foster care, can we 'foster' them ourselves? I know Danes are quite popular in the PC so if I put Pumpkin and Brooke up for adoption at RKC I might get some people who'd be great Duke's group members, but just can't decide on a pet/pets to join to group.

That sounds like a really good idea! It might start out with just a few people and dogz constantly but it still seems good! I would love to take a job. I've tried this with horsez and it includes some roleplaying and it got sort of creative like that.
It would be fun to have like, "dog walking groups" or something I've wanted to do, "Doggy Bootcamp" which would be like agility/obedience/weight loss training all naturally. It'd be like, probably once every summer because I have no idea how long it can take for the weight to be lost etc.
As for members, did you send out a mass email inviting them back to Duke's Group now that it is becoming active?

Glad you guys like the idea! lol it reminded me of monopoly too, trying to think of a way to include dice as well. Yes, you may foster them yourself if you wish to . That all sounds like fun! Try an post ideas I could add to the cards with the things that happen to the dogs on. I did a mass PM, but not an email... perhaps I'll try that. Thanks guys!

Okay, did a mass email a few hours ago, hopefully something comes of it. Perhaps it would help if you guys said something good or fun about the group at the RKC Forum where I posted it? Also, we have a new rescue center in "the town" and you can now open your own shelter . Go check it out! Wasn't sure if you still wanted your post up Sendy, so I moved your old one there any ways.

I think I'll plan a late BDay party for my boys, and at the same time it'll be a "Welcome New Members" party. I think I'll pm KrazyKitty on PetzRus since she's still active there, though I haven't heard anything from Jenn or Sirah for awhile.
I love the new shelter idea, I might open my own mutt shelter. Yeah, I still want them there. Though I was going to ask you to take them in at your new shelter.

I was talking about the very first one you put on with the catz and dogz for adoption that we fostered petz from.
Sounds like a great idea with the BDay party & Welcome party! Hope she decides to come back, along with everyone else! Sure I'll take them in, though I thought you wanted to foster them yourself?
