Bunny,
I think many of us had some virtual pet game. They are fun until someone passes on due to neglect. See my reply to Michael.

I don’t have an iPhone but this reminds me of a software called “DogZ” that I played in my computer about 10 years ago lol.

Michael,
I had a program like this years ago, but it was a fish you had to care for. Mine, unfortunately died.

Virtual puppy reminds me of that game for the PC from circa 1997, called Dogs or was it Paws… urgh, memory not what it used to be!

Did Vic Get one? It reminded me of High School and we had to be partnered with a member of the opposite sex and carry an “egg” around all day.. that was “our baby” my baby unfortunately fell into the urinal!
He was a bad dad!

My wife always used to get a dog in her Sims2 games .. but, I could never get into the virtual pet games.
Although – this one has an interesting background music.

It’s fun playing this virtual dog game! My dog went to star career and wear sunglasses, but now I can’t remove it the way I remove his hat or change his clothes. Is there another way to remove his sunglasses? Or is there a problem in my application?

Gale,
I am glad you’re enjoying your virtual pet. I have not heard of any issues. I would go to the authors page to see if there’s information on the issue you’re having.
