Many of these games have you starting off with a pet – or adopting one later. What kind of critter is following you everywhere? A dog? A squirrel? A monster?

Meet my crazy fur babies, Roxie and Rosko! Roxie is actually mine, Rosko belongs to another family member (soon to be introduced!), but they're litter mates and they live together, and I'm their favorite person and the three of us run around together all the time. They sure make fun (and funny!) companions while I'm going about my day, and I'm so glad they're part of the family.

They are mostly NOT as well-behaved as they are in this picture. Rosko, especially, likes to try to knock you over as his way of saying "good morning".... But I still love him.
