Before, you could toss biscuits to my dogs before & they'd eat those up....

Just yesterday I made a food & water dish as a free add-on to the dog.

You can fill the dish for the dog, and it will grab bites as it roams around. This allows the dog to follow multiple behaviors in your absence without getting lost.

Until this update the dogs were a little naughty.... since anyone can give them treats or play with them, by the time you return, they might be anywhere chasing toys or looking for more treats.... instead of sitting where you left them.

They'll happily stay around their food, so we tricked them into obedience hehe

Good dogs!

We rolled out this update to everyone with LOLO dogs so far.

I also left our dog, "Cosmos" out in my shop, you can go there & hug and pet her. Sorry, you can't give her toys or biscuits, we've way too much random littering here whenever we allow rezzing Meet her here.

Check out these photos Natsuko (my partner) took while playing with our dogs

Yay! The LOLO has released more new dogs.... They are huggable, pettable, & playful!

These dogs come with dog biscuits (copyable always free food) they love to eat.
Each dog comes with a dog toy too & it can really play with this.
The dogs can be walked on a leash, or with no leash.

These new dogs can roam in an area you set (from as small as 7m X 7m to a big 28m X 28m range).
These dogs can be commanded to attack (non-damage) any nearby avatar, & they can even attack any inworld object.
I've set them after other LOLO animals, or you can make them go attack any object you choose.

These dogs have individualization -- you can give them a name, show or hide the dogs name, even set gender of the dog which changes color of optional name display to pink or blue. If asleep the dog can even display an "away" status like avatars.

My new LOLO dogs follow other commands, like to come over to you when you call. Anyone can feed, play with, pet, and hug your dog (depends on your land permissions to let them place objects or not).

TALKING: You can make these dog talk in chat!

Seven styles of collar you can change, and even the dog's leash is color changeable.

Available here on Xstreet Marketplace: New LOLO Lab Dogs

Also find these dogs inworld: The LOLO Pet Shop

Story of the Unicorns

Currency has flow, like a river sending water droplets down in a mass stream of rippling consciousness, capital has a way of moving between the obstructions to follow its destiny downstream. Some same it trickles up or down depending on your geography and magnetism -- I say any multitude of flows are possible when we take time to move with the forces at work.

Unicorns understood this before humans did. While we long for some singularity with the digital consciousness the unicorns became part of the etheric mass long ago, captured in the dreams of millions. Their stories are legion and they are like the gems of the gods, pawns in various cosmic games of intrigue given as tokens after an adventure. They are creatures of strength and beauty, seen more in natural history than in mythology as their images find their way into paintings of our heritage. Their origins are unknown: in China the unicorn is related to dragon and chimera while they may be cousins to the oryx or eland in the southern hemisphere.

The stories around the unicorns began as they were given to others in exchange for extraordinary adventures. A unicorn could only be awarded if the pursuit was true and the gift was needed. In some lore the unicorn would only come to virginal maidens but they seem to be quite friendly when appreciated, much like any precious gift. They have a special sparkle that has captivated artists and kings alike.

Unicorns as currency may seem to flow upstream, capturing the light in the river and magnifying it. Perhaps they are like a spotlight to goodness, a mirror reflecting the sun to its brethren on earth. Unicorns do not blend in and receiving such a rare thing is always a memorable experience. I give them to honor those who have done something wonderful and extraordinary in their own journey and in the process of giving I ask that unicorn to remember the nature of the gift to hold in its heart as it passes through the ages. The unicorns we give will outlive us and because they are rare and ephemeral they capture value unlike the gifts we typically give -- plastic cards with magnetic strips on them carrying information to a plastic store with magnetic strips in the objects. This is not the kind of giving exchange I want to share with others: I want to share something strong and beautiful. I want to give you a unicorn.

Here are the people who have earned unicorns from me this year, and why:

Jean Russell: for extraordinary listening and care in network culture as @nurturegirl
Stacey Monk: for initiating the Tweetsgiving movement to help a school she cares about
Bill May: for being a rockstar in government virtual engagement through social media
David Hodgson: for assistance with the Thrivable network of leaders
Lightning Temple: for extraordinary feats of artistic achievement

I have received unicorns from:

The pink fairy Amber: delivered to a Lightning Temple meeting, named Megajoule Lunacorn
Jean and Jo: The green unicorn shirt with the corn as a horn from Threadless (thanks!)
Captain Cassie: For lending me her stuffed unicorn pillow at Burning Man, and for general awesomeness, thank you.
