I decided to introduce some of my naturally raising petz who had not yet met each other, especially the ones who are participating in the Summer Olympics. If they're gonna be team mates they should at least know each other, right? I started with Harley Quinn and Wish. They at first didn't seem too interested in each other, but I didn't see any signs of aggression so I continued to let them hang out together. After a while they seemed to warm up to each other more. They played tug a couple of times and wrestled a lot. But young Wish was always knocking over the older Harley, which was hilarious. How is this possible? Harley is playing tug upside down! Then I brought out Zachariah and Sandman, and they became fast friends. They love playing and tossing toys back and forth on their noses. They are two big silly goofs who love acting silly together. Then I tried Wish and Delicto. But my usually sweet Wish barked and barked at Delicto and sent her running. So then I tried Wish and Mercedes, and the opposite happened. The big Dane Wish was scared of a little kitten. Too bad those didn't work out. So lastly I tried Wish with Decadence, but without much hope. But then to my surprise the wicked alley started dancing around and doing back flips! And Wish was bouncing around and play bowing. They like each other, what a surprise! So much so, that when I put Wish away Decadence got sad. Aww. But I wanted to see how Decadence did with Zachariah. But sadly they did not get along. Zach wouldn't stop barking at Decadence. So I tried Mercedes with Zach. They got along famously! They had a cute howling and yowling session together. They also wrestled a lot. It's very sweet how well they get along. But edit: The next time I brought them out together Zach barked at Mercedes and made her run. I don't understand what happened? The same can't be said for Zach and Delicto. Zach wouldn't stop barking at her. But the funny thing is that while Delicto was running around scared from Zach's barking, he just kept knocking over Zach as he ran. Payback maybe? Next I wanted to see how Harley Quinn would get along with the catz, so I brought her out with Mercedes. But... well not much happened, I had them out together for quite a while and they mostly ignored each other. They didn't hate each other, but they didn't become friends either. Then I brought out Delicto. At first it seemed like Delicto wanted to make friends, she was bouncing up and down while looking at Harley. But it turned sour quick, Harley started barking and Delicto started hissing, then Harley was chasing Delicto, but, being a Dane, Harley soon tripped over her own feet and fell down. That's what ya get for chasing the poor kitty. XD Something weird happened when I introduced Harley to Decadence. At first they seemed to like each other. Decadence was bouncing and acting sweet. Then they howled and yowled together, which seemed good. Then when Decadence went up in a tree, Harley started barking angrily at him. Then Decadence started acting scared of her, although not running around in a panic. Then they seemed to ignore each other for a while. So now since they are ignoring each other I have no idea how they really feel about each other. LOL! Maybe I'll try again later. In the mean time, it was time for Sandman to meet the catz. He did not get along with Decadence at all. But he seemed to do very well with Mercedes. They looked at each other very cutely when they first met, and then howled and yowled together. Mercedes keeps knocking over and pouncing on Sandman, but even though he's a huge Dane and she's a little kitty, Sandman is so goofy and gentle he doesn't seem to realize he's so much bigger than her, and lets her get the upper hand. I have been looking forward to some Delicto Decadence kittens, since they like each other so much I was hoping they would fall in love. But.... Plot twist! Remember how I said that Mercedes and Decadence didn't get along at all? Well surprisingly enough, somehow they have gotten over their differences and fallen in love!! So surprising! Well now I am hoping for kittens from them. They have been very loving toward each other, but so far no kitten announcement. I guess they are taking it slow since they are still kinda young. That's okay, even though I am really anxious to see what their kittens will be like, I'm not going to nudge them with perfume or heart treats or anything, I'm going to let them decide when they want to have kittens. But just to be ready, I made sure to have the Cargo OWs in my game that Decadence shows so that his kittens may inherit those traits. Also I have a new pig from the PUGS gem shops thanks to Buck ! His name is Sir Choppington, and I thought that was so funny so I'm keeping the name! I was really hoping that he could be a friend for my first pig, Samson. They have very similar markings, although not exactly the same, and Sir Choppington has a neat spotted skin texture! But so far they have mostly ignored each other, not paying much attention to each other even though I had them out together for quite a while. Well, that's better than them hating each other at least! And one more bit of news, squirrels have started showing up in the back yard sometimes, and Wish had fun chasing one. She hasn't managed to catch one yet though.

Oh my gosh, this was sooo fun to see how all the relationships are developing between all your crew!! I'm super happy you like Sir Choppington, and that you are keeping his name (and cute top hat hehe). I had a ton of fun with the names of those pigz, so it's nice that someone appreciates it. I hope your piggies will grow to become friends, and can't wait to see how everyone else gets along as they age.

Thanks Buck! I'm having lots of fun seeing how the relationships develop in my crew as well. A lot of the dogz and catz don't get along, but a few do. And so far all the dogz like each other and now all three of the catz like each other now that Mercedes and Decadence are in love, so I'm very happy with how well my team members are getting along. And yes I really liked all the funny names you gave your pigz, I really got a kick out of them all. I had a hard time deciding which one I wanted since they all look so good, but finally it was a combination of Sir Choppington's colors, name, and top hat that got me. I love top hats and of course I thought it was adorable that he was wearing one, so I think he's gonna keep it on almost all the time now, goes so well with him and his name. And good news! Samson and Sir Choppington finally noticed each other, and they seem to be liking each other so far, they seem really friendly with each other, so that's really good! Sir Choppington seems to be a bit of a calmer pig compared to Samson, who runs around squealing a lot. Maybe having a calmer friend of the same species will be a good influence on him. One other thing I just noticed! See the note bird left about Wish eating the cake? That was so awesome! That was the first playdate I had ever sent petz off to, and I got to watch it live. Bird put out about a million pieces of cheese out and one piece of cake to see which pet would eat the cake, and Wish ate it! LOL, that was such an insane playdate, I loved it! And now I love I have something to commemorate it in Wish's profile!

Ah yes, the cake was not a lie. I'm glad you liked the note! I'm always wondering if people won't get mad when I do that (sometimes I read notes and wonder if I was suppoed to see them :S) #Rockin'Ruby #ConfusionFusion #hEmmered #BlameBuckForPresident #Melon #SleighWithMe

Oh, Meer, btw I'm not sure if you saw the note in the Gem Shop, but I forgot to anchor some of the Pigz' paintballs, so please feel free to double check that and fix it if you need to

Hahaha! Yes, the cake was not a lie! I get that reference! And I can't speak for other people, but I for sure would never get mad at someone adding a note like that to my pet's profile when they are on a playdate, I find it quite awesome! And I suppose if someone didn't feel the same, like maybe they like to keep their petz's profiles nice and neat with only very specific types of info there, they could just delete the note if they didn't want it there, no need to get mad, I would hope. And I certainly don't put anything in my petz's profiles that I wouldn't want anyone else seeing. Usually I just put their show name, who I adopted them from, their email and website if they have one, and any specific rules I need to remember, like not to MPA but to send back if that's the case. Oh and when I was in the PKC I would put my petz's reg number in their profile too. And sometimes petz come with notes from the breeder/hexer already in the profile, like rules and contact information, and if so I of course leave that there. A few of the petz I have gotten have cute little notes added by the person I got them from, usually petz that were gifts, and I like having those notes there. Anyway, I didn't mean to go on such a ramble about profile notes! XD Oh Buck, thanks for that, cuz no, I didn't see that message in the Gem Shop (RIP PUGS). So thanks for letting me know! I didn't notice Sir Choppington's spots looking un-anchored, but I will double check to make sure they are and fix them if they are not. And now for some updates! Introducing a new team member! Meet Markov! I just adopted him from salki here on the forum. His parents are both Ultimate Grand Champions, so I'm hoping when Markov grows up he will do well in the ring too. I think I'm gonna make his show name Dubloon's Pick Your Poison. I'm not exactly sure why, but it seems to fit him. I dunno, it makes sense in my weird head. XD Show Name: Dubloon's Pick Your Poison Call Name: Markov Gender: Male Breed: Great Dane Mix Birth Date: June 22, 2020 Adoption Date: July 4, 2020 Registration: None Lineage: 462th gen, not hexed, tree-trimmed Dam: UGCh Medusa/Dubloon's Jai-Ho!, 'Destiny' Sire: UGCh Dubloon's Wonderful Night for Eyebrows, 'Bento' Origin: Adopted from salki via Duke's Group I brought Markov out to play for a little while to get to know him. He seems to like to carry around toys, but he is very unsure of the squirrels that kept showing up. He wasn't quite sure what to do with them, although he did try to pounce on them once or twice, and missed. Then Markov decided to dig in my flower garden! Markov! I love the way he looks, with his sheepie markings and dali spots, and his cute little nose spot. I couldn't tell from his adoption pic, but I was delighted to discover that he has a chest patch and you can see one spot over it, I think that looks so cute!
I also discovered something else when I painted him to see his hidden spots on his black front half. He has one black ear and one self ear! You just can't tell cuz his self color is black. But I love that trait! And if some day he has puppies and they inherit that trait but a different base color, they would look so cute! He also has that spot on his tail that makes a ring around the tail, another trait I love, so I will definitely need to find him love when he grows up so he can have puppies that show off these hidden markings! As I was playing with him and taking lots of pictures of him to show him off, I realized that he is already very posey. He will often strike a pose when I click the camera, he must have inherited good posing skills from his awesome parents! I can't wait to start showing him! But since he's just a little puppy he tired himself out from all that playing really quick, and so I put him on a dog bed and he fell right to sleep. Aww, they're so cute when they are sleeping, aren't they? Then when he woke up we got something to eat. He had quite an appetite. No no Markov, don't play with the medicine! (Hehe, I just thought this pic was so funny I had to include it)
Then I took him to my training room and wanted to see if I could teach him a trick or two. At first he didn't know what I wanted him to do, he just kept staring at the treat and whimpering, or doing what Zach does and just stare at me blankly. But finally it clicked for him and he did a couple of tricks! Maybe we will work on getting his trick tittle. After some one on one time, I wanted to see if he would make a friend or two. First I introduced him to Zachariah, but that didn't go well. Zach seemed like he wanted to play at first, but Markov just growled and barked at him. Bummer, I was hoping they would be friends. Then I introduced him to Wish. That seemed to go much better! They at first tentatively met, then they were bouncing and jumping around. They howled together which was so cute, Markov with his high little puppy voice, and Wish, almost full grown now, with her big, deep Great Dane voice. Then Wish licked Markov, which is so so sweet and adorable, I love it when they do that. They even settled down for a little nap right next to each other.
When I put Markov away for a bit because Wish was tired and needed a rest but Markov was still bouncing off the walls, Wish got really sad, so it's clear she likes my new puppy. But the weird thing is that Markov seems to glare at Wish a lot, like he's only pretending to like her, and secretly hates her guts. LOL So I'm not sure if it's really as good as it seems from Wish's point of view. I guess we'll see how things go. In other news, I have kept wishing that Zachariah and Wish would fall in love, since I think they would make adorable puppies. But then I noticed something in their family trees. Wish is from Buck, and Zach was bred by me from two dogz, one from Buck and one from ParanoiaPaige. And I noticed that both Wish and Zach have a dog named Harvey, owner listed as Mika in their family tree. Harvey is Wish's father, and is Zach's grandfather on his mother's side. That would make their puppies very very inbred. Now I don't really care about inbreeding, and I know most other people don't either. But I do try to avoid it with my own petz that are closely related.
So now I'm not sure if I want them to have puppies or not. I can't decide. So... well I guess I will leave it up to them. I won't encourage them to fall in love, but I won't keep them from having puppies if they do.
Although, they grew up together and are almost fully grown now, and they haven't fallen in love yet, so maybe they won't.
In other love related news, something sad happened. Decadence and Mercedes fell out of love! I was very surprised and disappointed, I was really looking forward to kittens from them. But now they absolutely hate each other. They were such a sweet couple, such a bummer it had to end like this. I hope they can find new love some day. (I already mentioned this on Discord right when it happened, so some of you already know this, but I wanted to make sure to include it in my official updates as well, as it's very significant news) Edit: Oh no, be careful what you wish for! It seems that Mercedes has found new love already, but.... Oh my, it's very..... very.... strange.... I don't even know what to think! Want to know what I'm talking about? Check out the other thread I updated today!

New Update With Another New Puppy!Show Name: Zan's Moonlit Wings Call Name: Inaaya Gender: Female Breed: Great Dane Mix Birth Date: June 22, 2020 Adoption Date: July 8, 2020 Registration: None Lineage: 615th gen, not hexed, tree-trimmed Dam: Gourd Sire: D169 Origin: Adopted from Zan via TFM This is Inaaya! When I saw her I just had to have her. I just love her brown and black coat. I love that she has black ears, muzzle, feat, and dali spots. I love her matching brown eyes. I have so many petz with pale eyes, it's nice to have something different. Not that I don't like pale eyes, I love them! That's why I have so many petz with them. But variety is good too, so that's why I adore Inaaya's brown eyes. She's just so pretty! I'm glad I was able to win her at The Flea Market. I got her name from a random name generator, I thought it sounded really petty. And the phrase “Moonlit Wings” is of course from a song, which I also thought sounded really pretty, so I'm thinking that will be her show name. No real rhyme or reason going on between her show name and call name, I just like 'em. So unless I come up with something more connected, those are her names! And she definitely needed to have a show name because she loves to pose! I'm quite delighted and hope she will make a great show dog when she grows up. Just look at her! Of course she's not lined up or anything, these are just some spontaneous poses I got while taking pictures of her playing, but it shows that she is very inclined to pose when she hears the camera click, so pose training should be easy for her, I hope! She gets along wonderfully with Markov. And they are very close in age so they can grow up together. Maybe they will even fall in love, they could make really cute puppies some day. We shall see what happens. Inaaya and Markov have a good howl together! Then they settle down for a nap together. Awww!
Inaaya also gets along well with Wish. Wish is almost full grown now, and she does very well looking after the new young pups. Markov still does that weird glaring thing at Wish, but he always acts very friendly with her, so he definitely likes her, he just has a funny quirk about having angry eyes when he's not, silly pup. XD Inaaya loves to toss toys back and forth with her friends. It doesn't matter who, she will do it all day with any of her friends! I've never seen a dog do that quite as much as Inaaya does. It's her favorite thing to do. While I had the three of them out, Markov, Inaaya, and Wish, Wish fell asleep, I guess the puppies tired her out. But then, Wish started sleepwalking, LOL! That was quite funny to see. After I spend some more time getting to know Inaaya, I will introduce her to the rest of my natural crew and see how she gets along with everyone.

I think when someone sends a pet for a playdate, you send the pet knowing they can see the profile haha. I use my profile to keep information on the personality and the tricks the pet knows (if any). I love keeping notes in profiles from previous owners and/or from playdates haha (I'll even write a date and the playdate and who wrote the note-- but I think only bird writes notes </3)
I wish I had learned to write about specific rules and who I adopted them from and when in their profiles... :| esp PKC reg'd parents numbers ugh hahaha I end up having to hunt a lot of information down.
Anyway, back to your new additions-- I love Markov <3 what a good showname!! Love the hidden spots <3
Wow that new dane from Zan is stunning! I should check out TFM more often but whenever I log in there's some pet that errors out the whole website...
