2017/12/25 - 12 Days of Housepets

[Pecan]

I really hope this gets voiced (sang?) at some point, would love to hear/see this as an actual song.

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas
Time to react to everything about this great stuff!

- Is it just me, or has Bino put on a little weight ?
- I love how Sasha took 9 "days" to realize boxing gloves were not such a well-picked present for her
- What is there in a "not-chocolate" beverage? And I agree with Bandit1990, I’m sure Dallas stopped as soon as Joey noooooo’d him.
- When announcing the present she was getting, Tarot seemed kinda blasé or like "Peanut is still learning how to be a good boyfriend to me, but I'm afraid of what he has bought for me"... And one could say she was right, considering what she got ^^ although she did seem surprised.
- Cool to see Jessica growing fond of Nintendo!
- Aw come on, Max. Be a better boyfriend next Christmas: don't forget to go buy her a present

So, wait, Grape and Max ritually kill chickens all the time?

I think that just like us, they don't see what the wolves have censored, and like us they assume that they're doing smooches, which they do all the time (to quote Grape's official biography, "Her boyfriend is Maxwell and they make much snuggles"). That's why Max says "Smooches count for the kangaroos apparently!". (Also, I still find it pretty weird that Max has grown this tiny goatee since the beginning of the current arc... How old is everyone in human years, by the way?)
- Poor Sabrina and Fido… May they be immune to this in the next Christmas!
- Also, Mungo. I just LOVE this guy. So glad he has become a recurrent character
- And Bruce and Roosy are such a heartwarming couple. :') I sure was a part of that collective awww.
- Duchess saying « screw this » ?? Not very PG…
- Even though the last « day » ended with the gag with Bino and the bear (I agree with Cesco, Bino ruined the top couple moment!), I really loved the fact that the music started by slowing down in order to highlight how important the Bailey-King couple is. Also, I agree with Dissension, a « fruit cake » could be King's gift ^^

Thanks a lot Rick for this original and awesome work!!

Count the gloves.

Along with the 2014 Christmas "Pageantate" arc, this goes right into my mandatory 25 December reading list!!

[yellowcrash10]

I had the stupidest grin while playing this. That Bruce and Roosevelt scene completed my life.
Also, thank you for making a Linux build! Us geeks appreciate it!

[Naro Rivers]

My grandfather used to send us a fruitcake every Christmas. None of us actually liked fruitcake, but tradition is tradition.

The way I see it, if there's good reason to get rid of a tradition (wasting food, for example), then "because it's tradition" is not a good enough reason to keep it...

Oh, I didn't notice a third one popped up XD

[NHWestoN]

Yeah, Sasha's facial expression is just priceless. You gotta wonder what Kevin was thinking when he .... oops, never mind.

[TheOne]

I realize this is an old thread, but I *finally* got around to watch-BEAR!

But, really, what was King's gift?

[Amazee Dayzee]

Since it looked like that the gift started with an "F" as that was the sound King was making before he was interrupted by Bino and Bruno, I want to go with a fragrance diffuser. I think Bailey would like to smell nice things considering she grew up on the farm and probably was used to the mixtures of different animal manure.

[Morlit]

One of the things i like with this flash animation is how it sorta provides context to the whole "Give her a dead chicken" thing with Rufus.

It was part of a wolf mating ritual that he knew none of the actual details off. Just that it involved a "dead chicken gift" .

[Amazee Dayzee]

He might have also been involved in the ritual at some point which is why he knows about it. Its been established at least in Babylon Gardens that ANYONE can go through the Rites of Passage.

[GingaDensetsuAleu]

They only did that once because Miles' cubs were doing it. It was a fad for a little bit and then Jack and Bino ruined it.

[Amazee Dayzee]

Does that mean it absolutely CANNOT be done anymore because of them? Or did they just ruin the fun that it could create for other pets who got involved?

[GingaDensetsuAleu]

Everybody already did it except for Bino, and the wolves won't let him participate because of the incident. Even King got in on the fun.

[Amazee Dayzee]

But they won't let anybody else who is new do it? So other people who are interested and want to try it are out of luck?

[GingaDensetsuAleu]

I mean the only reason they let the rest of them do it is because they were already doing it.

[Amazee Dayzee]

Yes I do understand that and know what you are saying. However I was asking if they would let anybody who didn't already and who was NEW go through it?
