Virtual Pets Create a Commotion

I am a big Sims2 player. I have families that have grown to the fourth and fifth generation. I usually play the game at night, after the walk with Honey. She usually rests on the futon while I play demi-god to my little virtual families.

EA Games just released the new expansion pack, which allows you to add pets to the game. You can create dogs and cats . . . and being the kind of dog owner I am, the first pet I created was Brownie, which looks an awful lot like Honey.

As I was creating Brownie, Honey was doing her usual lay-down-behind-Marco thing, and I guess she had a clear line of sight to the event. All of the sudden, she started growling, got up a little, and started crawling and sniffing towards the computer screen.

She saw Brownie, the virtual dog.

My roommate came into the room after I beckoned him, and we both had a good laugh as Honey kept trying to figure out what that dog was doing on the computer.

Honey is a smart dog, isn't she?
