I want a dog

I want a dog in Glitch.  He doesn't need to be fancy, but he needs to follow me around and maybe help me with quests that are created for people do to with their dog.  I'm happy to feed him and pet him and teach him tricks.  I'll pick up after him too, of course.

If we're going to have pets, we might need a few kinds.  Some people like cats and birds, but I'd be really happy to have a little brown dog... who wags.

  • Yes! Quests that involve pets of some kind sound really cool!

  • A pet would be fun, my preference would be a cat but can you imagine a cat helping with quests... they'd just sit there with that 'I'm not doing that' look on their face or they'd be licking their bum ;)

  • Thee:  a single post ain't going to get it done.  You should post this request in a few other places, too.  ***wink***

  • Are you a free Dawgg  Mr. Dawgg?
    :D

    I don't really mind either way. 
    I'd get a dog if there was a dog available. Providing it was a proper dog and not a small yappy type dog. 

    But I do imagine that each person having an animal of sorts following them around in game would cause even more lag than there already is in the game. It's bad enough with the chickens flapping around the place when I'm not anywhere near them and butterflies getting in the way of harvesting, then we'd have to navigate dogs, cats and other critters too... sounds laggy to me.

  • I'm kind of anti-pet.. I'd rather have animals that provide a function in game, or perhaps the option for pet(s) but only within a glitch's home. Unless if the animal is given a personality, they'll end up being more for looks than anything else- which kind of defeats a pet's purpose.

  • A bear. A sun bear. I'd name it Hill, after Hillary/Hillaby/Bill-Hilly/Be-A-Hill/Chickeeduck, and it would follow me around making snarky comments and grinning. Maybe terrifying some chickens, but that's to be expected. Hillaby's grin is absolutely terrifying.

  • I like Zeezee's thoughts about the option for pet(s) in the home :) 

    However, I'd imagine that if one pet was made, there will be a huge list of pets that everyone will be wanting and it'll be never ending. Just from this thread alone, there are dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, lizards, dragons, horses and monkeys. If the whole site was clamouring for ever animal that was special to them (personally I'd like a Giant Wombat as well as my Dog). I imagine the artists would be going crazy from trying to create every single animal in the planet, then they'd have to be animated and whatnot. Then people would want different colours and sizes.... Seems like it would be a ton of work.   

    Unless they make a completely new species of pet, just for the glitch world, and just have that one thing available (maybe customizable like the vanity section is). I guess that could work. Maybe. Still would be lots of work, but much less hassle than doing thousands of different species.

  • Just the mere mention of the word "lag" made me think maybe I don't want pets after all but I like the idea of a Glooch (Glitchian pooch) or a Glog (Glitchian dog) that will knock me down and slobber over me in sheer joy at seeing me come home  ;D

  • We could have baby lag-monsters as pets. Just give them big eyes, a large head in comparison to their body and a cute expression. They could curl up in our glitch homes.

  • I'm pro-dog, which makes me anti-dawgg.  (No offense, Mr. Dawgg.)  The animals are some of the funniest parts of the game, so the more the merrier.
