For totally random reasons, lately I've divided my showing petz into "schools" based on the Fire Emblem games. I thought it would be a fun way for them to compete with each other as well. There are three main schools, a lesser school, and a training school for petz that aren't being shown yet. Each has two "professors" and 8 students. I deaged some petz to make them students which leads to some funny situations. Once they SgCh. they "retire" and go to live with other retired petz in the "palace" AKA Petz 3 😅where they can find mates and have babies that I naturally raise. Anyway introducing the first school: The Black Eagles rarely admit "commoners." The two professors are Wiles and Conan. Conan is a SgCh. from my NIB Scottie line and he's very proud of that. His son Finn is a student. He doesn't always get along with Wiles, but Wiles is very easy going. He has to be since the school is full of poorly behaved dogz. Ventress is from minor nobility and is a very good student who always pays attention in the posing and other classes. Chai is an exchange student who mainly just likes napping...and burping. Finn hopes to follow in his father's footsteps but unfortunately is a bit vain and stubborn. He regularly has to leave class because he barks at the catz. Ferdie comes from show lines and is proud of his excellent poodle poses. Unfortunately he's not particularly intelligent and often gets into accidents. His friend Titus often comes to save him. She has a secret...she's Ferdie's daughter who time traveled to protect him! Her mother is Queen Gaia. Ceylon and Cursed are the only commoners. Ceylon aspires to become nobility and is quickly earning enough points to win favor at the palace! No one knows where Cursed came from. The rumor is he was part of a genetic engineering experiment to create a dog that could spy on catz. He seems to have high insanity and other cat traits... Finally there is Alex, who is the only student in The Black Eagles who excels at the athletic competitions like Frisbee. He is a distant relative of Thursday, one of my retired champions and Bunni's Bentley. He hasn't done quite as well in pose competition but he's hoping to learn from Conan.

Despite the name, this school is mainly catz. It is thought of as the "lesser" school but the professors Honeysuckle and Spinosissima want to change that. Honeysuckle is a magic cat of some kind. Spinosissima is a warrior cat who lost an eye... probably related to using her spikes in battle. They don't have any show experience. But they did have the bright idea to admit a dog! Shambles is the only dog. He didn't know the school was all catz when he was admitted. But has quickly become a top student because as Honeysuckle says "there are just more dog shows than cat shows." Shambles often feels out of place and is particularly hated by Boris, who does not believe the school should admit dogz. Boris, despite her name, is a girl. She is one of the top acrobats in all the schools and especially resents dogz because many agility shows don't allow catz. Pumpkin Spice is a genetic engineering experiment gone wrong. The mad scientist mistook the instructions that said "fiercest cat". Instead of making a battle cat, he made a fiercely fashionable show cat. Pumpkin Spice has enhanced intelligence as well. He uses that to pick out clothing and pose cutely. Legato paid his tuition by thievery. He's known for being able to climb ANY wall. He aspires to a palace life. Sherlock lives in the shadow of his brother "Gatsby" AKA SgCh. The Great Catsby. His main obstacle is he doesn't really like to pose. Asda is a mystery. She spends her time staring at the walls. Or at toys. She wears a mushroom on her head. Or is it part of her head? Beans was discovered in an alley talent show. He's a handsome kitten but he loves to pick fights and often gets sent to detention. Batgirl is a strange cat. She has a chinchilla personality, a strange alley-ish face, and oshie levels of fear. Despite this, she has some acrobatic talents and has become a bit of a rival to Boris and Legato.

The Golden Deer is led by SgCh. Enya and Bumble. Many of the students are commoners and they have been behind even the Ashen Wolves in show points lately, but Enya hopes to turn that around. However, rumors are that Enya got SgCh. with mainly honorable mentions. Bee claims to be a princess of an obscure tamsin line but the other students are skeptical. She wears a tiara which Unwell has called "pretentious." She's best friends with Darling, who aspires to become nobility. Neither of them are very playful and they often refuse to participate in frisbee or soccer classes. Unwell specializes in the obscure school of the meezer show techniques. She's extremely agile as well and has done excellent in hoop jumping. Unfortunately she's often in detention for attacking the other students. She particularly likes to pick on poor Tigger. Pierre comes from minor nobility and specializes in poodle poses. His half brother Goofy specializes in not posing at all and getting detention for barking at cats. They are both completely hopeless at anything acrobatic. Snoodle is actually a distant cousin and shares many of the same traits, except unlike Pierre and Goofy, he actually tries. Which has made him the best soccer player in this school. Hazy Jr. is a plucky orphan. Rumor is his parents are nobility! Tigger is a gentle giant from the northern mountains. He lives in abject fear of Unwell, who attacks him as every single chance she gets.

The Blue Lions are run by two sorcerers, Astra and BlueGriffith. That might account for some of the weird time travel going on here. Many of these petz are parents of the students of other schools even though they are the same age. Very strange. Adorbs is Tauros' daughter? And Lil Bub is Adorb's half brother? But Lil Bub is in love with Tauros? Drama! Lil Bub and Tauros constantly only pay attention to each other in class and then have to be seperated. QR Code is the best dog at sports in the school. He can catch a frisbee quite easily. Fox is from an old noble family that's largely been forgotten but she hopes to reestablish them. Unfortunately her posing is not really all that good. Trouble's isn't either. Astra always admonishes them for not living up to their potential. FreeFoo is from a mountain family of large dogz. She's a bit awkward but has quickly taken to posing. Bailey's sister is Ventress, who is in the Black Eagles school. Bailey thinks his sister is a total snob and considers himself a simple cat who just likes to pose.

And finally, Garreg Mach, for petz I want to show but am gonna wait until some others retire. These petz hope to get into the other schools and in the meantime work on their showing skills. The school recently got a new teacher, Thursdays, who is an SgCh.! He's also the father of both Concerto and Owen...but they have different mothers! Drama! Nutter Butter is the other leader of the school. She had big show dreams but always complains there are never enough shows for bunnies. Concerto is a big poofy weirdo and his half brother Owen doesn't think much of him. Owen specializes in the poodle pose and is very proud of it. Concerto specializes in yapping. Jonathan is Owen's best friend and also does the poodle pose and comes from a SgCh. family. Mettle is an angry kitten who isn't sure what she specializes in yet. She often attacks Violet or the dogs. And makes angry faces if anyone but her gets a reward. Chris is from a new NIB Scottie line. She hopes to get admitted to the Black Eagles so she can meet Finn... Shamir looks elegant but is a clumsy sheepdog at heart. Violet and Reginald are Gatsby's parents. Gatsby is my first SgCh. cat. All I can say is TIME TRAVEL. Or MAGIC. And it's funny they've been in love since I introduced them and are still madly in love even after being turned back into kittens.

I'm still reading through this but I LOVE IT. I don't know anything about Fire Emblem but I really like the concept of schools. I also love the stories you've come up with and I'm weirdly invested in them already. This is brilliant, I love it. I'm going to keep reading today's posts and I hope you keep us updated on these students P.S.: I love that you have a cat named Reginald. I've got one too, except she's a girl and some kind of Siamese mix.

Ceylon made SgCh. today! Which meant the Black Eagles threw a retirement party. Ceylon unfortunately slept through most of it. Finn had to be asked to leave since he was barking at catz. Chai overindulged in tiki drinks. Alex was a little upset. He pretended to nap but also looked angry? Ceylon was his BFF and Alex hasn't been doing very well in shows. After the party Alex stayed to say his final goodbyes Ceylon was sad to see him go But was excited to meet his new friends in retirement, including his former mate Lady Grey. Who has a puppy! The puppy looks a lot like Ceylon. Don't tell him it's not his!! After the retirement, the professors of all the schools determined Chris, the Scottie, would go from Garreg Mach to The Black Eagles. Chris is very excited since there are other NIB scotties at that school. That means another puppy/kitten gets admitted to Garreg Mach...

Congrats to Ceylon! That's very exciting What does Garreg Mach mean, if you don't mind my asking? I can't wait to see who the new puppy/kitten ends up being!

Congrats to Ceylon! That's very exciting What does Garreg Mach mean, if you don't mind my asking? I can't wait to see who the new puppy/kitten ends up being! It's just the name of the school/monestary from the Fire Emblem Three Houses Game. I had another retirement too! Luckily the value was all set up already for Shamble's party. Which he also slept through... Boris and Asda seems pretty angry at the whole thing. Boris said she deserved the retire much more. Shambles was only really friends with Sherlock and Beans, the alley cats. Both were a bit sad to see him go. Beans gave him a goodbye lick. The newest student also attended the party. Shamir! Replacing Shambles as the only dog in the school. Shamir was like "I didn't sign up for this. That left not one but two spots for the Garreg Mach school. I picked Crush's Alejandra, since i don't have any other sheepdog faced dogs. And Allie, who is SgCh. Gaia's daughter. Then they went to soccer class with Thursdays, who is a soccer champion. Unfortunately Thursdays was hogging the ball. So I had to put him away. I trained them a bit on posing and then they had a party where they could choose uniform-approved accessories. Alejandra already had a bow and Allie picked a bow as well. Maybe Alejandra thought that Allie was copying her? Because then Alejandra started bullying Allie a bit and had to leave. As usual, Violet and Mettle got into a fight.

And for show points, with all the retirements, the Blue Lions takes the lead with Blue Lions: 75 Black Eagles: 60 Ashen Wolves: 51 Golden Deer: 50 Tauros from the Blue Lions will probably retire soon but no one else is up for retirement. I did some posing at the Black Eagles school but didn't get many good pictures. Finn has proved especially hard to pose but it seems to run in the family.
