1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Anthro Dolls: Are they pets of your human dolls, or separate?

Mar 25, 2008

    1. Definitely friends....
       
    2. I have a Pipos Robin on hold. She is definitely more like another child. I wanted another tiny to be a sister to my Ume (Bobobie March). I was going to get a pink resin child and name her Sakura, but then I saw Robin and fell in love. So she will be the Sakura to my Ume now.
       
    3. my little Quinn isn't a pet - she's the spoilt baby sister of my SD and MSD, and they're always so overpowered by her cuteness that they give her whatever she wants, when she wants it. she gets away with murder that way!

      Quinn: I can haz cookie nau??
      Me: Sure :fangirl:

      you see what I mean :|
       
    4. I am not into the small anthros, so definitely not pets. But if I got a full sized anthro around my dolls height, they would definitely be friends.
       
    5. I consider my petdoll to be a seperate entity from my bigger guys. Mostly because it's not an actual animal- since he's an anthro he has a face and human body. Also he seems too spunky to be someone eles pet.
       
    6. So far, my little Julia ACB is best friends with an orange dragon-horse (yeah, my avatar), but when my Lati yellow, arrives, I imagine she'll be more of a little sister.
       
    7. I'll buy a Pipos Curo, as Walter C. Dolneaz, just as bunny ^__^

      Walter C. Dolneaz is a character from Hellsing, he's Integra's butler. And I think he'll be a great bunny, with the butler dress and the monocle.

      So, my Anthro will be more like a animal-ized version of a human <3
       
    8. Griss (who should arrive tomorrow :D) is definitely not Tobin's pet. He's supposed to be her guardian and mentor, but that won't stop her from putting him in frilly dresses. :XD:
       
    9. In my collection, animals and humans are equal :) I never thought of my anthros being pets :) Some of my anthros are taller then my human BJDs because i only collect the mini ones :) Sofar i have 17 anthros + 2 more on their way and only 3 human BJDs :)
       
    10. Mine are totally not pets they are friends of my other dolls but they are just talking animals. I have more BJA's then BJD's though. I absolutely adore BJA's!!!!!!
       
    11. My Pipos Mango will technically be a pet, but will be treated as more of a confidant and freind beause of how she works into Nigel's strange little world.

      I'm practicly drooling for some cute adorable owner/pet shots for when she arrives. <3
       
    12. that's how we treat our pet cat IRL ...
      :lol:
       
    13. addition:
      i decided at least some of my dolls think the animals are just a kind of short and furry people that don't talk with words.
      so... yeah. friends.
       
    14. Mine (a DZ Fox) is a friend and very much anthro over a quadraped pet. She has a more humanlike history too I suppose. She is quite close to my CP Moon although their pasts have nothing in common. I plan to get a lot more anthros in the future and I suspect most of them will probably be anthros and not so much pets....but it would be fun to have at least one pet.
       
    15. I have one (Souldoll Aku). He's not a pet, he's a friend of one of my dolls.
       
    16. hmm pet or not? more of a companion, but isnt that technically a pet...... aghh its complicated i guess if i give him the ability to speak telepathically its something else. q.q im still figuring out the characters and relationships.
       
    17. Koneko, my Dollmore Catish Reaa, is married to Zai, my Unoa Ane Ange. Simsala Bun, my Dollzone Coney, is the imaginary friend of my large guy Ace. So my anthros are pretty much equals, neither pets nor in a separate universe.
       
    18. Mine is a magical house-elf/mouse hybrid and pretty much a friend to mine,but is less trusting of other dolls.
       
    19. I currently consider anthro dolls with humanoid features, such as Doll Chateau Carol and anthros from companies like DollZone, DollFactory, and Pipos, to be magical creatures that are like humans--they talk, wear clothes, etc. But more animal-like dolls, such as the cute bird and hamster from Paper and Sakura, would be like pets. As for stories, my dolls don't necessarily share the same world, so I don't mind if they don't all match. :)
