hey there, i'm sorry CS has become boring to you, and giving your beloved collection away after such a long time and so much effort collecting them all is very admirable ;v;
i had a look though your collection with only one pet in mind - and you have her.
the 2014 weimaraner store pet.
now this pet is my main dreamie, but not because of how she looks, or how rare she is. it's because of Branka.
this is her, my lovely girl.
Branka was a hungarian vizsla, a rescue from a puppy mill in Germany, had been kept in terrible conditions and forced into having at least two litters of pups by the time she was 2 years old. when she came to us, she was so scared of everything, and it took a lot of work to gain her trust. but over time, she came out of her shell, and grew into one of the most loving, intelligent, beautiful dogs i've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
she had such a unique personality. she
adored food, and belly rubs, and having her ears cleaned, but she was an independent spirit and would only seek cuddles if she was in the mood. she slept most of the day, and spent the rest of it begging for snacks. she had this sneaky thing she'd do - with two other dogs, sometimes there'd be no room for her to jump up and snuggle. so she'd start jumping around, like she wanted to play (which was out of character for her... Branka had no interest in toys or playing.) but the other two dogs always fell for it. they'd leap off the couch, excited to join her - and as soon as they did, Branka would run past them and hop up into their spot, plonking her chubby body down where it was nice and warm. it never failed to make all of us cry laughing.
earlier this year, Branka started having trouble with going to the bathroom. urine infections, gland infections, constipation... for several months she suffered, miserable. then we found the cancer in her bladder.
she was only 10 when we had to put her to sleep. it was such a shock - i never even got to say goodbye. one morning she went to the vet for her checkup... and never came home. we knew she was coming to the end of her life, but we thought we'd have at least another few months with her. sometimes life is cruel, i guess. i still miss her every day (and it's been hard to even type this post out, to be honest.)
since then, i've been coping with her absence through videogames and pet sims. my friend gifted me a shiny Lillipup on pokémon Sword, who i nicknamed Branka, and i created a neopets account for the sole purpose of creating a golden Gelert with the name 'Brankarina' (Branka's nickname). i'm even in the process of making a memorial for her on my Animal Crossing island.
my last goal for immortalising her was to find the 2014 store weimaraner on CS. not exactly identical to her - but the pet that looks most like her on the entire site. it's actually the reason i came back from my year-long hiatus - to trade up until i find a pet worthy of trading someone for her.
i understand this dog is from a highly sought after store set and why you may want to keep her, and if you do, that's fine. it's just a picture of a dog, in the end. and i can find it other places. but i felt like this would be my best bet to actually owning her, seeing as nothing in my own collection comes
close to the value of a 2014 store pet.
sorry for ranting about my doggie, tbh i've been finding any excuse to talk about her since she passed. it helps me remember the good times. thanks for reading, if you have, thank you so much for the chance, and sorry again for the downer ;w; <3
if you're still reading, do me a favour and go hug your pets. let them know how loved they are. you never know how long you have left with them.
