so, i've gotten my set of 8 horses and im really happy with them!! i've been thinking whether i should also buy a dog, particularly a hound (just coz i have 5 gold vouchers and can't wait to spend them all lol) but im totally not pleased that it only gives 50 xps whereas the palomino horse, which also costs 5 gold vouchers, gives 80 xps and only takes one carrot to feed! i think i made the right choice to buy horses from the start.
Personally: no.Quote:

I have all pets and each wake up call gives me 5-6 items. You hardly miss the bacon or could buy I easily. At his level coins isn't that much of a problem.
That's just my personal opinion.
thats what i would expect to come from you :D yea i agree that everything adds up in the end, so do the expansion items. except when gold vouchers are so scarce and so many are needed to buy these pets, you kinda want to pick and choose lolQuote:

I love my dogs and cats. They add to the warmth of my farm. They show up when I am working on trees and bushes, or moving things around on the farm. I don't have them for the points. I have them because I like them.
They have a huge appetite for bacon but they're absolutely worth it! Cats, on the other hand...meh :p
Seriously tho, by the time u have all the available vouchers for all the pets, ur farm will be crawling with dogs :)
Me too, but I still don't have enough golden vouchers to get all dogs and lovely tuxedo cat that I don't have.Quote:

My thoughts exactly. I love the dogs and cats. They are nosy and funny. The horses were great in the beginning but now I find I have to shoo them out of my way because they are always in the way blocking things. I do get great items from cats, dogs and horses.Quote:

My horses think they are cows and constantly hang out in the cow pasture. I have all the pets now except 2 horses I am waiting on gold vouchers for. I definitely love the expansion items they give (even if it is mostly tape).
I'm saving my vouchers for a pet bear!

i hope that if we ever get bears for pets we wont have to feed them a bottle of syrup every 6 hours lolQuote:

We'd feed them a hunk of fish, naturally!Quote:

Besides all that, I like them for their doofiness. The dogs romp around all goofy with tongues hanging out, the cats stalk like big game hunters, and the horses may seem boring but just watch and they'll surprise you.
My horses are also nosy nellies. I love the way they hang around the red tool boxes with one standing on top of it and then stepping down while another steps up. It's like:
Horse #1) "Ooooh, I can see the whole farm from up here."
Horse #2) "Really? Let me see. ooooh pretty."
Horse #3) "Hey, it's my turn to look." ;)
Mine also love the boats. Every so often, when a boat approaches the dock, all the horses come over one by one and then hang around in a group intently watching while the boat comes in and docks. I imagine stuff like:
Horse 1) "Oh boy, do you think it's dropping off sugar or apples this time?"
Horse 2) "I sure hope so. All we ever get are carrots around here."
Horse #3) "Oh man. They WANT sugar again. Dang, never bring, always want. Not even a carrot as thanks. sheesh!"
I agree that just watching them is interesting. They really do come to see what you are doing. My pinto comes to watch everytime I gather eggs. I think he likes to watch the chickens jump! :-)
i wished they'd make the dogs cuter. their teeth are too sharp, kinda reminds me of sharks.
Haha, the dogs are very nosy, I always find them in my crops or garden! But yes I think they need to be cuter, they should make one of them look like my dog I think! (it herds sheep so it would have a place on the farm) :DQuote:

I agree. I don't like the look of the dogs and so have only bought the kennel (agree with needing more blue on the farm) but intend to leave it empty. I also find the horses' muzzle and body shape disturbing somehow, and so won't be getting any.Quote:

how is it possible they hang out at the feed mill? your stables are on the left and your feed mills extreme right, i didnt know they travel that far coz mine dont. i tapped on your horses and they're always moving around the pool area.Quote:

haha i thought the pinto horse is the cutest, but i dont like the bay horse. it looks like it has serious underbite problem lol. why dont you start fishing? you could get some diamonds!Quote:

I think they are worth it. To me they ARE cute. I guess I will have to zoom in as much as I can to see this thing about teeth (vision impaired here).
My fave is the hounds, love his ears flapping in the wind lol. Would rather had a beagle or two though. Still trying to get more gold so I can get the second hound. Cats are meh and I only got the orang tabbies (I think- cant remember, the first one you see in the list of animals).
The horses...eh. Not too enamored. If anything the horses are the ones that are not 'cute'. I have seen the horses stand on the red lockbox/trunk when I visit farms with horses lol. Pesky things have to shoo them as they are big...
I must be doing something wrong as my pets never drop anything except Xp. I've tried waking feeding before waking, waking then feeding, whistling to wake, touching to wake etc etc but they have never given me anything!
There are a certain number of times you must wake before an expansion item will drop reliably if you only have a few of the pets.Quote:

We got items every other time or so when we only had a few cats and dogs. Once we added horses things really started dropping for us. Hope this helps you :)
Is your barn full when you wake them? They won't drop the items if you don't have room for them. that's the only thing I can think of?Quote:
