I think pets would be such a nice addition to this game.

Can you catch a snapping turtle in April in the northern hemisphere?

Yes, it's available from April 1st.

It's a gift sent from in-game mom.


Yup! 9pm to 4am.

Was it a random gift or a gift as a result of the starting questions, "What would you bring to the island"?

I only got 1 gift from mom so far.

I wouldn't think so. It's part of the "Mom's" furniture series, which has around 6 or 7 pieces. I think she'll just send you a piece from the set at random like in past games.

OMG I want that puppy! Is it a DIY or something you purchase?

It's "Mom's Plushie" - a gift received in a letter from mom, so it's not orderable. It's customizable, so you can change the color & design. This one is called "Pupper". I think it's my favorite item in the game!

It could almost pass for John Wick's dog 'Daisy'!

I feel like there is something wrong with that, all the characters (excluding your characters) are animals.
But than again the squid villagers have no problem with doing the fishing tournaments. Or fishing in general for that fact.

So I noticed that you can buy pet items in Animal Crossing and yet having actual pets is not something you can do in the game. I think this is a missed opportunity for a lot of funny villager interactions in the game. Animal Crossing New Horizons seems to be full of funny puns and humour so it would fit in with all of that really well. I don't think there should be a system in place for caring for pets and stuff like that, but it would be cool if they made a new character that opens a shop where you can buy all sorts of animals and have them running around in your home, or have the option to bring it outside and see it running around the island. Imagine if you bought a tiny golden retriever puppy, and then spoke to Goldie and she had the most hilarious shocked look and had the funniest things to say about it. I dont know, I just think it would be so damn hilarious if it was a feature in the game.

I would kill to see Cookie, Goldie, and Lucky with their own pet dog and same with the cat villagers hahaha. Also livestocks like cows, sheeps, goats, etc...
