One of the things I love about Petz is how you can have an unlimited number of dogz (or at least, unlimited until the game overloads). Even though I lost my last two naturally raised pupz to a file crash, there's always a new pup to love.
Meet the parents, Wisteria and Samuel! Wisteria was bred by me; I'm hoping she passes on her spottiness, her pretty ears, her patches, and her eyes. Samuel is personally one of my favorites, because this big guy (bred by Heartfelt) is so darn gorgeous! I love his red coat, his spots, his patches, and his big fluffy tail. I'm hoping these two will give me a beautiful, classic tamsin to naturally raise.
Before I took them out and let them get to know each other, I did a few things in PetzA; I figure that since my last attempt to naturally raise went so badly, I'd need to make sure this one went right. I set the babies to be born immediately (I need a replacement pup soon!) and set the number of babies to one (no incest this time!). And then I let the parents out to meet each other. At first it's pretty awkward; all they want to do is look at each other. But soon Wisteria breaks the ice with a big ol' bark!
Now Samuel's ready to play as well. They have a good time running around, jumping up and down, and wrestling...
And then they realize the other is kind of cute! It didn't take long for things to turn romantic and sappy as syrup.
It was only a matter of time until a heart popped up! I eagerly took Wisteria out, ready to meet my new friend. And here he is! Everyone, meet Silvermoon!
This little bundle of pixels is the classic tam I hoped for. He's got a stunning gray coat, the silvery eyes of both parents, and tons of spots and patches! Mom thinks he's a very handsome boy as well; even though she was tired and skinny, she was jumping for joy over her new baby!
She watched me carefully as I fed Silvermoon his first meal, a nice warm bottle of milk. He lapped it right up; it looks like being born is hard work!
After dinner, Silvermoon and mom took a well-deserved rest.
I'm excited to see this little boy grow up! I'm happy that even though I lost some buddies, there's always room for new friends.

I am really quite relieved <3 I remember when my first petz were lost to a getting a new computer (like when I was 8 and didn't know what backing up files meant), and I was really sad and didn't want to play anymore for a long time. I am sorry for your loss but glad you have found another pet <3
The parents are GORGEOUS! Wisteria sure is photogenic. Samuel's eyes are so wide at their first meeting!
I love Wisteria's "excitement over her baby" photos <3 I can't wait to see Silvermoon with his eyes open!

Before we get back into the cute puppy pics, I'd like to share this monstrosity I have created:
Lol, now that that's out of the way, on to updates! Silvermoon is still in the small and sleepy stage, so there isn't much I could do with him except give him lots of pets. Mom kept me entertained by showing off her trot; I wonder if Silvermoon will be a trotter like her?
While I was petting him, I remembered a trick I would do in the olden days before I had PetzA to get puppiez to open their eyes before they officially could. If you tickle their back feet, they startle just like adult dogz do and open their eyes! It worked on Silvermoon, but his eyes stayed open for a little while... guys, I think my dog can see dead people or visions of a terrible future or something, because that look is creeping me out.
Thankfully, his eyes closed after a minute or so. Now it's time for food! I gave him his bottle as mom watched closely. It turns out she wanted a little too!
Tomorrow Silver will open his eyes officially for the first time and I can start learning about his personality. I wonder who he's going to be!

Only a small update, because I'm knee deep in code for my research project (*dies from procrastination*) but here's what's up with Silver and Wisteria!
Mom was happy I was remembering to feed her baby, I guess, because she trotted around during feeding time like a horse eager for oats and watched me like a hawk.
After Silvermoon was full, Wisteria decided that the bottle was a new toy. Maybe that's why she was watching so closely? She even posed with it, which was kind of a punch in the face because I'd been trying to get her into the show ring for months. I guess the secret is to give her a milk bottle.
Silvermoon is still blind and sleepy, but only one more day until he wakes up and greets the world!!!

At long last, Silvermoon is awake!!!
And what a handsome boy he is! I knew he had those silvery eyes, but it's quite another thing to see them in person. Silvermoon used those eyes to explore his home, the nursery, and while he had a fun time running around, it looks like he's still getting his footing!
Thankfully, mom stepped in to show him how it's done... by running him over.
But soon they were both prancing happily around. I wonder if Silver will grow up to be a trotter like his mom? Only time will tell!

Oh gosh that color scheme! <3 I love grayscale colors and his eyes complete the look x3 EDIT: I never saw this before I laughed far too hard at it.
