And would those wishes result in lifetime happiness points for your pets?  What would the rewards be?  Never Be Scolded, Everything Smells Yummy, Always Catch the Squirrel, Fire Hydrant King, No Baths Ever.   :D

If that were true my dog would ask if she could be a Sim pet.  ;D

Surprisingly I'm not all that excited for this EP...surprisingly, because in real life I have 2 big dogs, 3 cats and 10 chickens.  I am passionate about animals and I love each and every one that we are blessed to count as part of our family, but I have enough 'feed me', 'pet me', 'scoop my litter box' in real life.  I don't know that I want to deal with it while simming.  That being said, I'm sure I'll 'pony up' my hard earned cash for this EP, too.  I only wish they let us enjoy Generations a bit more before eclipsing it with the announcement for Pets.

OMG did you guys NOT read the entire info on this EP?  Pets are fully controlled by their maker.  They can be cross bred, (with others of their kinds), to make different breeds of dogs, horses, cats, etc.  They are more like Sims, not just pets.  YOU make them do stuff and I would imagine you make all their little wishes come true as well, (groom me, feed me, NO! NOT A BATH!), so it's you in Simlife as seen through an animal's eyes.  Of course we ALL want EA to fix all the buggies and glitches, of course we all want things just so, and we all want an EASY button so our games never go belly up.  But what EA wants is to make money, and the way to do it is to keep cranking out stuff that will have us addicts buying.  Now, consider this.  If EA stops making money on Sims, WE stop having a reason to gripe and complain, while totally enjoying our addiction, because without this particular cash cow, there would be no Sims.  Really, now.  Can you imagine life without Sims?  Really?  Seriously. I for one am going to use the remains of my Mom's Day gift, (bought Generations with the first part of it), and am going to pre-order this toute de suite!  (that means right away, or rather very quickly)  I HATED Sims2 Pets with a purple passion, but this one looks like it's going to be a winner, and really, who can resist Grimmie on a pale horse?
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

This is a little bit rushed though. Just a little.

If there are schipperkes, I'll be happy.  I remember how excited I was when they had them in Sims 2.  ::)

I just heard about this, I can hardly wait!
I would think thy would have a stuff pack after Generations, then Pets though. Isn't that the general way it works?
And yay, horses!

It's like Expansion every Six or so Months normally and a Stuff Pack inbetween but if Pets is coming this year? Then maybe we won't get a Stuff Pack? I'm a bit disappointed that the Animals look a bit 'plastic' they just don't look as high quaility as the Sims?

It's 88 day gaps between SP's/EP's isn't it?
It's official - Thesims3.com's forum has a Pets board.

The horses are a little frightening looking, but this is just a trailer.  That look could change dramatically before Pets come out.

I'm hoping this comes with a new town.  With horses, I can only imagine the space requirements on a lot.  Most of the current lots won't cut it.  Perhaps they'll live elsewhere; I know many real people with horses don't keep them at their own homes.

I know I'll buy it anyway, eventually.   ;)

This sounds alright. I just hope they put in more types of pets like rabbits, birds, guinea pigs... I thought that Grim was riding the horse because it had just died, so he rode it to the afterlife...

Wow we just got a new one and they've already got another one coming!  ;D I gotta say those sim animals are so adorable! Especially the dogs. Grim on the horse looked pretty awesome too.

Graham (the producer from the Generations Live chat) tweeted a picture of the pet shop that you get as bonus when you pre-order pets.  Judging from the logo on the pet shop it looks like there may be birds.

It's official. I'm so excited to make my Persian Mix into a Sim. I'm going to start the first Feline Legacy. Remember this post everyone. I officially plan on making Sims 3 History, by starting the first ever Feline Legacy.

I bet pets will have the same basic human traits as children and toddlers too.
