The Doghouse: v.4

version 4.0

UPDATED: 8/31/25

Welcome to The Doghouse, newly revamped for 2025!

This is just a little page showcasing some of my favorite petz and advertising petzy stuff I have up on Petz Bazaar. My crew is stored in my Capacities app for easy sorting/filtering, and I put up adoptions on Petz Life and Petz Auto-Adoption Club discords as well as Petz Bazaar. Prefix is The Doghouse or Dh if you want to use it.

To all of the people who have been generous enough to gift, trade, or adopt out petz to me: thank you! ♥

about | the before times

I got into Petz way back in 1998 when Petz 3 came out. My childhood best friend and I would play for hours, and I was dedicated to this game. When my parents tried to ban me from the internet, 13-year-old me rode my bike 2.5 miles to the local library with my stash of floppy disks to browse all the cool websites and download .pet files. Over the years I have been in and out of the PC, but I've always kept my pixel friends.

To the right is the oldest pet I have: Scouser the Alley Cat. No idea where he came from, but he is a 2nd gen. alley/b+w mix born in 1998. He is a grump who is always hissing and giving me the stinkeye.

hawk | never forgotten

This is my sweet pup Hawk. I adopted him in Flagstaff, AZ, in 2008, and lost him to cancer in 2018. Thanks to the amazing people of the PC, his goofy spirit lives on in my game with his beloved toy sheep.

♥ to Lida for letting me use her greyhound file, Rizu for the fur textures, and Mythic Silence for Hawk's sheep.

featured | smol pixel companions

These are some of the petz that spend the most time in my game and are spoiled rotten. You may notice I have a preference for smol weirdos. They are very vain and like being admired so please gawk at them.

WARRIOR hexed by me, 2006 One of my very first hexies. I thought I was a badass so I hexed a dane smoking a cigarette.	MEJIS hexed by meer @ black mist, 2006 Six-legged terror with a forked tail. As far as I know, only 13 of these were made.
LAMBCHOP from cyove, 2006 Originally a bred alley that needed an extra breedfile, so I hexed it so the breedfile wasn't needed. A snarky, fluffy weirdo.	BAXTER bred by me, 2017 Bred as a doppelganger for a pet I lost somehow. Mini sheepie with a dachie personality, a total little goofball.
PLAGUE hexed by karli, tweaked by me, 2017 Spoopy dane with a white tongue! Appropriately enough, his favorite color is green and his favorite flavor is bone.	BRUISER from sexpot lida's hextraordinary archive, 2017 The most ridiculous little bouncy raccoon there ever was. Troublemaker with a Maine Coon personality.
MR. WIGGLES bred by me, 2017 Teensy bulldog with a chi personality. He consistently produces tiny adorable pups with his mate Crockpot.	CITRINE from lizzie @ ferality, 2025 A purebred, noninbred minchi. She has sleeping sickness but it's so adorable when she snoozes I can't bring myself to fix it.
LAMBSTINK bred by me, 2025 Bred this one when I was showing my boyfriend how Petz worked. He named her; born of the deep love between Lambchop & Stinky.	CLODHOPPER from lex, 2025 Smol dali bred with the Plushie Dali overwrite. I love his giant feet and floof tail.
MACLEOD from becca @ sungraze, 2025 Snapped this guy up from the Bazaar as soon as I saw his little snoot. Goofiest most fun little chi ever.	OPOSSUM from meiari, 2025 Strangest little raggedy beast and I love him. Tabby personality, so much sweeter than he looks.
OTTO from forestwalk, 2025 The (in?)famous smol ottoman. Literally fits on a stamp. Brexed his little pixel eyeballs so he could see.	OBSIDIAN from audaxity, 2025 Bred with oops wings so I brexed her into a tiny black gargoyle for Halloween.

bazaar | sales pitch

This is where you can find my various Petzy creations: jouroboros @ Petz Bazaar.

I have a doom & gloom black carrying case available there, and I have a fondness for making playscenes so I've provided some examples below. Occasionally I also post adoptions on the Bazaar, but most of my adoptions are on discord.
