New Puppy Avatar

I have released my first fluffy tiny puppy *avatar*. It has a new hud with an additional button to choose eye colour. Also an improved kennel accessible from the hud.

Click the image to see it in high resolution and clearer text.

Biggies will love you when you become this puppy. Available now from Tiny Inc, Raglan Shire or at Puppy Heaven in Raglan Commons. Beware of offers to adopt you and take you home. It's a commitment.

poppy pupPETS

Some weeks ago, I got together with the very clever and handsome critter, Catten Carter and we erm.... merged minds! The result was the whelping of a litter of extremely good looking, intelligent and adorable puppies.

Inevitably, as with all puppies, they needed a massive training regime so we decided to delay homing until they were completely ready. They are absolutely the ideal PET for any avatar from any genus, whether you are tiny, critter or full-sized.

After several whacks on the nose with a newspaper, we feel they are now ready for loving homes. We needed to name them for training purposes. However, we have made it extremely easy for new owners to choose a new name. The puppies are very adaptable so they will very quickly respond to it. Below, you will see the full details of their abilities; but here are their recently taken portraits, ready for for you to choose one to fall in love with.

  • FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Q: The puppy appears to be floating
    A: This is a limitation of Second Life. Physical objects will always float a bit over the ground

    Q: I lost my puppy
    A: Rez the basket then click it to locate your puppy. Puppy will return to the basket and go to sleep.

    Q: My puppy broke!
    A: The pet script in the puppy is very complex, but we continually add updates. If you find a bug/error with your puppy, please write down what happened and send it as a notecard to either Etheria Parrott or Catten Carter

    Q: I wish my puppy would do....
    A: We always welcome suggestions for new functions. If you have a great idea or suggestion, send it as a notecard to either Etheria Parrott or Catten Carter

    Q: Some body part of the puppy did not move correctly
    A: This can happen under heavy sim stress. Wait a second, order the pup to stay, and it will correct itself.

    Q: Will the scripts work correctly on Mono?
    A: This puppy is compiled for Mono to reduce sim lag and increase performance


    Cinderella Carriage

    Xerxes Luna is my long time business partner and co-owner of Tiny Inc. He has made this wonderful Cinderella Carriage which he has just released for sale in our barn at Raglan Shire. For a small extra charge, Xerxes will add your monogram to the door textures so if you wanted this, IM him to arrange it.

    Pulled by six beautiful butterflies for the smoothest ride you will ever have in SL. It crosses sim boundaries without problem and I guarantee you will turn heads. The carriage takes several tiny passengers and you can choose whether you want to drive it from inside or from up front.

    Oh and guess what happens at midnight!

    Isn't it wonderful?!!!
