If you can't have a real dog, make a virtual and interactive puppy.
Not everyone can have a puppy. Whether a dog is too expensive or you have an allergy, taking care of a puppy is a lot of work and not recommended for everyone. However, you can interact with a puppy online. That is, you can create your own virtual puppy. It won't be the same as a real one, but it can be fun taking care of your virtual pet and teaching it tricks.
Instructions
1. Research the available virtual pet websites. Popular choices include Neopets and AdoptMe, while FooPets offers realistic-looking virtual puppies. Look for one that offers a wide range of puppy options to choose from. Select a site based on how much time you are willing to commit to the care of your virtual puppy, cost -- if any -- and the functions available.
2. Create an account with the website of your choice. Choose a user name and password and submit your name and email address for their records. This will ensure you'll be able to log in later, even if you forget your password.
3. Create your virtual puppy using the website's tools. Choose a breed, color, sex and size of puppy. Pick accessories, such as food bowls and collars. Most importantly, choose a name for your new virtual pooch.
4. Take care of your virtual puppy by feeding it, giving it water, bathing it and playing with it on time and regularly. Your virtual puppy's happiness will likely depend on how much time you commit to its care. Neglecting your virtual puppy could mean that it dies and that you'll have to start over by taking care of a new pet.
5. Check in on your virtual puppy daily to play games and to monitor its care.
