Lola knows that behind every great celebrity is a loving pet-ebrity. With a budding acting career and her own blog, Lola is living every puppy's dream.
Hilary Duff is an internationally celebrated multi-platinum chart-topping recording artist, concert performer, actress, designer, philanthropist and businesswoman. When she's not busy with her very full schedule, which includes acting, recording, worldwide concert touring and hands-on volunteer work, Hilary always makes sure to find quality time to spend with her Chihuahua Lola.
Buddy loves answering questions with helpful tips, but he also has a few questions of his own. These questions include, but are not limited to, the following: "Do you have a treat?" and "Is that a treat?" and "Are you going to eat that treat? No? Can I have that treat?"
From the rushing of the rapids to the babbling of the brooks, Dan Hardiman is in touch with his inner tap. As soon as he had enough Simoleons to buy some land near Paw Valley's legendary waterfalls, he jumped at the chance, buying a humble home near a majestic waterfall.
Kate Hardiman grew up on a flamingo farm, so she is familiar with feathers and water. She met Dan Hardiman at the annual Soggy Bottoms Water Sitting Festival and she immediately fell in love with his adroit water sitting. Kate one day hopes to retire and spend her golden years reading novels on sun soaked landscapes of rural splendor.
Buster knows a lot about dirt. And trees. And flowers. He likes to lay on his back with his paws in the air and listen to the waterfall and watch the falling stars. Nature is Buster's sublime cathedral. He also eats garbage.
Incredibly rugged and covered with a coat of filth that can only be described as complete, Buck mostly keeps to himself and his faithful dogs. With an eye for natural beauty and a wanderer's wit, Buck long ago relinquished his grasp of Simlish, opting instead for a traditional and undistinguishable dialect of woodsman gibberish.
The runt of his litter, Rufus trained as a young pup to become the largest, strongest and most foul smelling dog. Cast out of his family for the latter, Rufus and Buck stumbled across each other in the woods and formed a sacred bond of stench- one that has never broken.
Cast as a young puppy to star in a film about lost pets, Lucky accidentally wandered from the set between takes and found himself lost in the forest. Displaced from the glitz and glamour of the film industry, Lucky listlessly wandered the land until Buck Oakely found him and raised him as a loyal, if bitter companion.
Hamhock joined the pack for saving Buck Oakely's life. During a freak winter storm, Buck was pushed into an overflowing river by a ridiculous gust of wind. Hamhock ran to the riverside and snagged Buck's shirt with his teeth, saving the Sim from the approaching waterfall. Forever grateful, Buck has taken care of the dog since.
Leaving the city was tough for Townsend. He had never experienced the quiet sublimity of a starry sky. He therefore never missed it when he installed his industrial grade security system, complete with 120 decibel cow bell. After receiving numerous complaints, the town council immediately legislated the Townsend Act, which made it a crime for Townsend to be a jerk. He removed the system.
For Linda, breeding dogs in the city was challenging at the best. When she and her husband had the opportunity to move into their dream home and expand the dog breeding business, they jumped at the chance. Linda raises the dogs using only the purest, organic wheat husk, attracting health conscious customers from around the state.
Henrietta is a stinky, stinky dog. Rolling in garbage is the least of her crimes. We could mention other, darker crimes of hygiene, but the records have been sealed for the common good.
Fauntleroy will tell you that being a pure bred dog has its advantages. Even ancient Egyptian Royalty understood the benefits of careful breeding. Like squirrel chasing and bug eating. Fauntleroy almost feels sorry for the lesser breeds. Almost.
Mira was born and raised in town and now owns the family home where she grew up. When she was younger, she won the annual swimming contest for five years running, swimming from one end of the lake to the other in less than two hours. Now older, Mira likes to organize towels and yell at young people.
One of Mira's tenants, Marsha likes to pretend she doesn't live in a rural community by subscribing to magazines like Snobberie and Couture Quarterly. Although Marsha is still young, this delusion is already expressing itself in unusual ways. For example, around 4:00, she starts speaking in a horribly inaccurate British accent that some mistake for palsy. Best to smile and move along.
Every since her failed venture into online foil cap supplies, Varian has found herself in a state of transition. With her entrepreneurial spirit still intact, her current inspiration comes from watching the interplay between master and pet. With a little support and hard work, her Pet Meals on a Stick idea is guaranteed to prosper.
Penelope grew up thinking she was the family pet. Her parents often found her drinking out of the dog bowl and modeling cartoon characters out of clay found in the cat box. Needless to say, her older brother encouraged her. She was such a good girl.
Presto the wonder hound; the agility that such a name implies has been lost on this pup ever since his first jelly doughnut. That is not to say he is dimwitted or lazy. Recently he learned he only needed to push the neighbor's garbage can over in order to increase his treat intake ten fold. Woof he said.
