Again, thanks for all the replies, guys! It makes me so happy to know that someone else is keeping up with these pupz. Now that the pupz have some new friends, it's time to get to know them even better... with a huge party! My other naturally-raised dog Rosalia is getting married, so what better excuse to throw a backyard blowout to celebrate her marriage? Ember is excited about getting to go to his very first party! Flicker, however is confused, and wonders, "Why would anyone want to marry an icky boy? What about the cooties? WHAT ABOUT THE COOTIES???"
She's happier about the pink ribbons they're being asked to wear (to match Rosalia's pink eyes) and posed to show it off. Ember, though, is definitely not. Even after I explained to him that pink isn't inherently feminine and gender roles are obsolete anyway, he was still pretty unhappy with me and shot me some world-class side eye. Flicker helped restore his fragile masculinity by engaging him in the macho sport of wrestling.
After all that, it's time to party! Flicker had a great time chillin' with some friends and posing in the flowers. Weddings are awesome! Ember met Mikael, the father of the bride, for the first time and instantly bonded. They both love to pose! Mikael tells Ember he has the potential to be a world-class showdog when he grows up! The pupz' good friend Jessamine agrees, and spends the rest of the day prancing around with her pals. All that running around is tiring, though, so the pupz lay down for a quick nap. Bride Rosalia sees them napping at her wedding and figures she deserves some rest too after such a hectic day. Soon a bunch of the adults see what a good ideas the pupz had, and join them for one big napfest. You can't see them all but there are 4 sleeping dogz in this picture (Regina, Mikael, Stonewall, and Flicker).
Before long almost everyone is asleep! It looks like the party is over, but everyone had a wonderful time! The pupz can't wait for the next party!

Another day, another adventure as these twins grow up!
Today we're checking out the slopes of the snow scene! I bundled these pupz up, and realized that I couldn't tell them apart without their feet visible! But don't worry; the dog with the white on their sweater is Flicker, and the plain plaid is Ember. You can also tell them apart by their tail tips!
Ember and Flicker investigate the snow. What is all this white stuff? What are these white balls?
Ember has the answer: they're toys!
Meanwhile, Flicker has found a toy of her own. She seems to be pretty good at sledding! Even a few falls won't discourage her!
While his sister plays with her sled, Ember has found yet another toy: the snowman's carrot! He picks it up and plays with it for a while before it mysteriously disappeared. It took me a moment to realize that he had eaten it up!
Hm, maybe they're both hungry. I take them inside for some warm mugs of soup. It's not long until they're both all gone!
What a fun, snowy day! These pupz are tired out, but well-fed and ready for their next adventure!

These dogz are growing up to be prettier and prettier, and I'm excited to get them into the show ring! Let's start teaching them the basics of posing while they're young-- I just can't wait!
We'll start with Ember. He seems to be the more "mature" of the two, so I thought he'd be a posing natural. Let's get him all lined up... or not. He doesn't seem to want to stay in place!
Once he finally learns how to stay, he has some problems remembering the camera is there... it seems like he gets surprised every time!
He also has to learn that I'm not looking for tricks or bleps.
And finally, finally, poses! He looks very handsome indeed.
Flicker has similar problems. It seems she much prefers tricks to poses!
But after a few surprises...
She found her style.

Another tiny update from just a little bit ago! Now that the dogz know how to pose, they need to learn some tricks. Friendly motivation, along with tasty chicken treats, will be sure to produce some cool moves!
Flicker shows off what she's got.
Now it's Ember's time to shine!

He also has to learn that I'm not looking for tricks or bleps. But bleps are adorable! I find it so hard to not pet them when they do cute stuff while I'm taking photos. Too bad there's no voice commands in the game; I'd love to just say "Dane" or "Dali" and the pet poses.

I'm naturally raising these two, but I'm raising at my own pace so it's slow going. Thanks for keeping up anyway!
I took these dogz out and got a lovely surprise: they had earned their Happy Pet certificate, which means they're finally adults! I checked to make sure, and yep! Happy, adult petz! It's no surprise; they're getting so big!
I decided to celebrate this special event with my favorite kind of party: a dog party! The guests of honor received special grown-up crowns. Very shiny!
It's not a party without friends! I invited a bunch of their puppy pals (all outfitted with party hats, of course). The only one not attending was Rosalia, who's currently taking care of a new puppy of her own! Here's everyone, all ready for a great time!
Time to party! Flicker plays with mom, Ember and Darius show off their poses, Arlecchio gives us an angry handstand, Dad shows Ember how to really wrestle, and Jessamine, Stonewall, and Ember form a furry cuddle puddle. All the hallmarks of a great party!
Jessamine really is getting pretty friendly with these pupz. They're all adults now... I've been considering setting her up with Ember for a while, but right now they seem to just be friends.
Now that these dogz have had some time to play, it's time for desserts! I bring out some ice cream sundaes for everyone. Seems like they're excited!
And let the ice cream scramble commence! Everyone wants a bowl. Soon it turns into a gigantic pit. Fur and sprinkles flying everywhere! It's too much!
Maybe we need to have a slightly smaller party so these dogz can get their sweet treat. I put everyone away except the younglings: Ember, Flicker, and Jess. Now they can eat their ice cream in peace without all the bigger dogz pushing them around.
And all done! Looks like these pupz had a great par--
Uh-oh. Major uh-oh. The thing that I never thought would happen... just happened. Flicker and Ember had been running around together and cuddling all day, but I didn't realize it was anything more than siblingly love...
... until this happened. Everyone meet Ladon and Lotan, both named after other products of siblings getting a little too close. This isn't what I wanted to happen at all!
I put uncle/dad on the Shame Stool. Shame! Bad boy! Don't impregnate your sister!
Aunt/mom gets off the hook a little, because she can't stand on the stool for some reason, but she's not completely free. Bad girl! No getting pregnant with your brother! Icky!
*Sigh* At least the pupz are cute? I age them up so we can put this whole incident behind us. Aunt/mom looks a little iffy about seeing her son/nephews all grown up, but I don't care, because ickickickick I just want to get them away. I did end up keeping Ladon; he seems to have a knack for showing. At least they grew up handsome, I guess.
It looks like I'm going to be raising these guys separately from now on o~o

Flicker and Ember are growing so big! Look at them <3 I have two step-siblings that I worry might fall in love with each other as well x3 Ah the joys of playing with more than two dogs at once.~ Especially with family members. I guess dogz don't care to be inbred

Uh oh! lol I've had some "surprise incest" babies between step-siblings before. That's the downside to having a bunch of dogs out at once I guess XD
