Both would be fantastic! My white swan is perhaps my favorite mount and id appreciate the alternate. i have the white swan pet too. I would like a black swan pet. Thanx for your attention. Nick please jot these down for future consideration ---HKE 2] just a note i dislike chaseing the dancing brooms could they just stand still and let me whack em? HKE 3] Im really hoping that there will be new garden plots coming WITH A NEW WINDMILL!!! {of course the windmill will have garden bonuses like the water tower } HKE 4] I think topaz dreams is fine as far as island tokens and puzzle pieces go ---also the Rubies and BB are fine. If I read Russ correctly, its the lower prizes that need work and I agree. I play Topaz Dreamz the most in the Casino and really enjoy it. I take a moonstone's worth of citrines and play Topaz Dreamz at ten max and let the spinner fly: I always come back with something for my moonstone., However the gold machine needs a plastic surgeon ---- an ability to win--- 1 something and 2--- more often. I don't play it cause its a waste of time and gold--- no return or paltry return. HKE 5] I would like to request a treasure chest that gives out random treasure for visitors to my golf course so i could use it on my SBA at my golf course---This also could do double duty for others at their ranches---HKE 6]Also as far as the golf course goes: On the Carnival or Circus Tent end piece, would it be possible to animate it so a tiny flag pops out the top and waves when the ball goes in; and it gives gold, mana, power and energy like the clown and train pieces? --- for the extra effort involved, willing to buy the new and improved model:D HKE 7] i like russ's ideas for the butterfly event and barbs ideas of stacking pet treats to move towards 40 with lower end pet treats ---HKE

We should have pecan pie, raisin pie, corn succotash, jello salad, braised greens, monkey bread, stuffed squash, spinach artichoke dip are few that could be added. I always seem to finish early. More things to do would be great. Another balloon would be fun to find and add to the parade. Maybe a dinosaur or frog.

Do they at least have the [!!!] icon over them? I could also look at slowing them down. 3) A Windmill would be a great ranch item with an effect like that! It's already on our suggestions list. 4) Similar to modern slot machines, there are low-value common wins that are there to make the bigger wins that much more surprising and special. I will re-evaluate those drops though. 5) We'll consider adding some more visitor ranch items like the treasure chest you're suggesting. However, it would have to be distinct from the existing premium ranch treasure chest... 6) Not all mini golf hole pieces are going to yield rewards. That's typically reserved to premium pieces, like the Clown and Circling Train. We'll consider adding more of those though! 7) Stacking pet treats has been suggested before. While 2 level 5 pieces don't equal a level 10 piece, experience-wise, they could be converted instead on the Pet XP they provide. It's on my list to consider!

Is it part of the reward for the quest, or does it get added to the puppy's existing attribute? Is it permanent if we buy the pet? or just temporary during the event? [sorry glynn, I didn't see that you posted a similar question]

I'll note these down for Georgia to consider for the next Butterfly Garden Gathering limited-time quest. 2) A VIP toggle is an interesting idea. I'll give it some thought. 3) The term "Dog Days of Summer" has its origins with the Greeks and Romans, apparently more tied to the constellations around this time of the year and how hot it is. Nowadays, it evokes the image of a hot dog panting in the Summer heat. At least that's what an article on National Geographic told me! Feel free to query about it on the net yourself for more details. The companion race track betting has been somewhat contentious. So I'll consider revamping it in future years. And while I love the idea of hybridizing pets, there's a rather massive art or technical demand required by it, that makes it not feasible for just Georgia and I at this time. We'll keep it in mind for a more simplified version at least. 4) I do agree that the Casino Slot Machine rewards could use a revamp to include currencies and items from systems introduced after the Casino was built. 5) I do love the idea of placing a seagull on posts, as we often see them in real life. I'm not so sure I can easily add placeable surfaces on tall objects like poles, due to how that system has been implemented. It would likely require a good bit of tech development time, which I don't have much available at the moment. I'll note it down to consider though!
