My plan was to have a "distant relative" come to adopt the two pups because they are a handful, and Di is not up to taking care of all these dogs. I made her an Animal Lover, but she's still Insane and a Loner. The relative is Lord Piers Wimsel (Lord Peter Wimsey) who will take the pups elsewhere to live.
And if you can make sense of THAT introduction, then you must be an avid mystery fan!
Here is the Riddle dog family. Mama Marple and Daddy Spade. Spade is a big dog, but the game let me mate Marple with him. He was the best looking of all the town's strays and adoption choices. Lucky him! BTW, he wouldn't mate with Miss Marple until he became part of the household. The two pups Clouseau and Mulder are asleep and dreaming about baseballs.
Puppy chat.
Mulder: I'm afraid of eagles.
Clouseau: Yes, but parrots are fun.
The pups stay outside on good days, but Di has to carry them upstairs when it's time to come in. It's fun to watch them pounce on the chew toys.
They're so tiny. Their thought bubbles are bigger than they are! I love it when they hike their little legs to pee.
They look similar, but there's a difference. This is Clouseau. He is thinner and has a darker face. His traits are Loyal and Proud.
Mulder is a little stockier and has a broader, lighter colored face. His traits are Genius and Independent.
Di had two visitors right after I opened the game: Silver Racket and Dilly Pidgin. Di looked like she didn't know what to do about these ladies. They were acting goofy, so...
Di started talking madness.
She couldn't quite get her point across, but at least Dilly didn't run away screaming!
In fact, Dilly took time to go around and socialize with each dog in the household.
But this had to be the sweetest thing I've ever seen in the Sims. Mulder needed more socializing, so I sent him to snuggle with his mother in the pet bed.
They both adjusted their positions, gave big yawns, and settled in.
This was cute enough to see, but there was more snuggling to come.
Mama Marple put her paw over the puppy and moved closer...
Until she was wrapped around puppy Mulder.
And every once in a while, Marple would lick the puppy gently...
Then fall back asleep.
