The whole Pets thing has me holding off on submitting. I think about everything I have for CC is fixed now. I think I'm still waiting on some beds but otherwise it's looking good.

I've taken some time to fiddle with the Pets EP. OK, one observation... do the puppies really have to play in the pee immediately after Mom or Dad goes? Really? I guess maybe they like it while it's still warm. Damn those puppies though. Can't take your eye of them for a minute or they're splashing in pee puddles. Honestly. Disgusting. And isn't it a bit odd to have six wild horses grazing in your back yard in the middle of town? Not shy at all I guess. And does everyone trip over sleeping raccoons? I mean my sims can't take a stroll through the park without coming across one sleeping in the grass for all the world to see. They don't even hide. Sheesh. And they just sort of spontaneously nap by my mailboxes. Waiting for a package are we? I know there are sims in Appaloosa that own cats yet they never go to the cat park. Well, I have seen their cats there outside the fence mewing to get in. Pining away for that scratching post in the corner. There are usually just random, petless sims, hanging about reading books. Really? You have the urge to read in an empty cat jungle? Seriously? There's absolutely no better smelling place you'd rather be? Ugh. And I want to know, is it just me, or are the dogs incredibly stupid. I mean stupid to the 10th degree. They drink their pee, they chew constantly even as adults and they'll be damned if they'll use the chew toy. No, there's a perfectly good baby crib over there to gnaw on. How rude. They sleep everywhere they shouldn't. Like... right in front of the fridge so nobody can get to it and all my sims pile in on top of each other to complain about it. Just kick the stupid mutt people. Or, I mean, gently carress it awake, give it a smoochie, and then pat in on the rear to send it to the other room. I'm not a dog lover by far but these EA dogs seem really, really, really dumb. And once they're trained and have solid good behaviors they still do the same old stupid stuff. A dog learns the non-destructive trait yet continues to gnaw on the nightstand, dresser, couch, newspaper, and what not. Um... o...K... I can give them the best behavior reward and they still piss all over the house even though they've been trained to go outside. And guard the house. Sure puppy. My dog always gets that want and I have it do it at night. Oh yeah, it growls at every imaginary baddy but lets the raccoon raid the garbage can right NEXT to where the dog stands. Good doggie. You've proven totally useless. I'm so glad I've investing so much time training you. Woof. And why won't they bite the paparazzi? They're annoying. They hang out on my deck talking to themselves. Do you guys have the doggy gnomes? I have a house with a bunch of them loitering all over the place. I'm tripping over them too. Poof! One more. Poof! Another one over there. What is amusing is how they spook the actual dogs in the house. LOL I love that.

Obviously I've tinkered most with dogs so far but I'm watching the cats in town. I don't get the horses. Who let's their horse out to go downtown? They're always running around without anyone on them. Like they want to go to the spa or pick up a rubber duckie. Doesn't anyone in Appaloose have something called... a fence? Just as thought. Damn. It's bad enough I have herds of wild horses and frolicing fawns running through my yards and leaping over my parked cars. What friendly wildlife we have. If my brother was a sim we'd be having bambi for breakfast and plenty of glue for the school. Hmph. I did pick up a cute goldenfinch and stick it in a cage. It was happy and sang nice. My sim liked to play with it. It gave the maid something to clean.

Oh, speaking of maids. Seymore Cole. I was really disappointed this wasn't Seymore Butz or something more humorous. I get him or Bea Bright. Well, if she was so bright I don't think she'd be a maid. She came to a party my sim threw once and she was dressed really... interesting. Also, on one of my jaunts downtown for my staple rubber ducky I bumped into a chick on her horse in her raunchy undies and thigh high stockings. Nice. Oh right, this is a family friendly children's game. Silly me.

I did treehouse woohoo and got splinters... and triplets. Bad treehouse, bad. I did haystack woohoo and was so annoyed by the country hodown that I'll never do that again. How painful is it anyway? Hay. Has anyone tried this in real life? Splinters are nothing to having hay stuck up your butt and... other... orifices. My vote is for shower sex. At least you come out clean, like nothing happened. I'm all for less laundry, even though my sims don't do laundry. Why would I want to do real life chores in a game? What sort of sadistic madman wants to make their virtual people do laundry? Mwhahahahahahaha, just wait until the lawnmower comes out my pretty! Just kill them if you're that way. It's kinder. These are the same people that enjoy shoveling snow, washing dishes, and waxing their car with their tongue. Wax on, wax off! Ew.

Um, anyway, I'm having fun exploring the fuzzy side of sims and I'm so glad my sims aren't wolfing out this time around. Back hair is so uncool. Nasty. Well, back hair, butt hair, stomach hair, forehead hair...
