I finally won my pet. Can anyone give me some advice on how to look after them.

By the time I get a pet I'll be too bored to death to look after it.

Congrats Dreamcatcher! LaSorella pretty much covered everything you need to know. :-D

Woohoo another 2 rings! At this rate I'll only need to play 46 more furores to get my pet :)

But let's not call the wrath of the Sleuth gods over me. I already have enough bad luck in the furores as it is.

I'm trying to steer my pet towards being ultra charming. At the barbers I only ever groom him for charm. Yet he is acquiring smart skills at the same rate. I'm concerned that they might overtake the charm. Anyone know why this is happening and what (if anything) I can do about it?

Don't use judge of character but always use the charm interview skills regardless. If possible don't use smart skills such as surveillance and if even more possible don't use smart gear to check the crime scene.

Many thanks, Mr McCoy - and also to Sleuth Sindy for her PM : )

Using Research also has to do with the smart skill.

If anyone has the time or inclination, they might want to take a quick look at Kolya. He turned sepia yesterday even though he is still a puppy and his stats are just T2, S5, C5. ... nowhere near maxed out. I also received the message that goes something like "For the time being Kolya had learned all that he could". I had always thought that you would only receive this message when your pet has maxed out.

The night before this happened I had bought a charm booster from Dorian - so I'm wondering if this is connected.

Is this likely to be a glitch? I'm concerned that the little mite will be stuck in sepia-land, trapped as a puppy forever, never able to reach his full potential.

If anyone has known this happen to another pet - and if it recovered or not - please let me know. Thanks : )

Looking for some advice with my 45 day old parrot.

She is currently at 7 for smarts and 2 for charm, and has been for some time. No sign of her gaining more in smarts (as I'd hoped) and no sign of her becoming golden/sepia.

Admittedly I've not been playing as many cases as usual, but even when I was completing my full daily quota plus some from my alt, progress became slow.

I had thought that pets became fully grown at around 31 days, but that hasn't happened here. Is she destined to be a baby forever. Any advice welcome.
