Talk to the animals
Wow, Bunnicula let me splurge a little and get some pets! The guys went to Toys R Us and picked up things for me that I had researched on the Web. I got a Tekno Robotic Dalmatian (by Manley), but he has a glitch and only goes through one routine, then shuts down. So he is going back to the store...for a refund, actually. Because the second pet I opened was a Kitty the Tekno Kitten (same company--Manley), and she works just fine. She's sleek and silver, very peaceful and loving and responsive. :-) After I played with her a bit, I *knew* the doggie was just too hyper and yappy for me.
Also got a Chirpy-Chi (from Tiger), which is a robotic bird that sings up to 40 different songs! You have to feed it, though, and keep it happy. It's very pretty (silver with green wings/tail/crest/feet) and very entertaining!
Aannddd I also got a Meow-Chi (also Tiger), which I didn't get around to opening. It is white-and-orange (Cat'r picked him out for me) and is in a fat-cat-Garfieldesque-sitting-up position. :-P He has a little toy mouse (eep!) of his own. I'll check him out tomorrow before we (or Cat'r) go(es) back to Toys R Us. With the money back from the doggie, I could maybe get a Shelby (relative of Furby--which I have 5 of, plus one baby Furby). hehehe
Bunnicula and I are awaiting two Petal-chi (from Tiger) that we ordered from WalMart online. And I won that auction last week (?) for a Mutsu, the Curious Little Fish (or Water Looper, in Japan), also from Tiger.
The reason we are doing this frantic virtual-pet/robotic-animals buying NOW is that all the stores are rapidly selling them off (and often at good low prices!). It's just about the END of them all.
