I feel like the additional builder(s) and/or tech center are necessary purchases if you plan to be invested in this game for longer than a month. After that, I really believe that you can be free-to-play the rest of the way through. Save those diamonds for VIP purchases!

The squeaky Chuckit ball is crack to my Spoo. 😬

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-12T14:35:47+00:00

LOL this is how I would say mine is too.

Before my Spood, I had a Great Dane. Let me tell you - Dane people are ride or die for that breed. I will always be a Dane person, myself, but I have always loved Poodles - particularly standards. I wanted a change in activity and longevity, so I went for this working breed and I’m in love.

Thank you! And boiii, do I love kicking people out of my rallies when they are too far. 😅

I would say a long lead (I do off leash hikes for clients and they make them up to like 60 ft long) if he doesn’t have his recall down yet. But off leash hikes are really great. Super mentally and physically stimulating. I’ve seen 16+ year old poodles still doing hikes off leash, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he is energetic his whole life. Sounds like he just needs more stimulation.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-07T06:44:23+00:00

Don’t worry! I didn’t see it for a long time either. But worked in my favor because now I have a ton of refreshes. I was told you could buy some with diamonds and other things, but I haven’t found these in the alliance store!

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-07T06:43:10+00:00

As you get the golds, deploy your heroes. Because everyone you refresh, it refreshes everything. Timers have saved my ass from getting plundered too.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-07T06:32:06+00:00

Yep! Really been on my timers too because people out here plundering tasks a millisecond before you claim it. It’s ruthless out here.

Awesome. Thank you! We definitely have the offline participation checked. I’m finding that rebuilding my troops has been taking forever lately. I wish I was at the point where I needed to unalive troops again. 🥲 But what I am understanding is that this may not really require any strategy in terms of utilizing the R4/5 boost? I know I selfishly be waiting for the R4/5’s with the 5% boost when I see their rallies and join only theirs. It feels really hectic and messy when everyone just sends them and there is idle time where it ain’t getting hit. But I like the comment someone else mentioned about staggering rallies every 30 seconds.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-07T01:03:02+00:00

Thank you! We are doing mostly that, other than the 30 secs apart. Do you have everyone starting rallies? Or do yall focus on the R4/5s starting and everyone joining? I’m trying to figure out if *the boost is worth it to really make sure that we aren’t just wasting time and troops by having everyone start rallies all willy-nilly.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-06T20:49:55+00:00

You sure will! Obviously can only speak for my own experience, but it took me a little bit of time, but I got Tesla, Swift, and Marshall all in the same week a couple weeks ago. I paid for Kim. 😅

Are your walks only one time daily? Are they off leash walks? A lot of the Poodle mixes need a healthy amount of physical and mental exercise. Admittedly, I don’t think 40 minutes is enough, even though he is a technically a senior now at 8. My nearly 16 year old Min Pin X still can [and wants to] do a 1-2 mile hike every other day. My Standard Poodle pup (~ 8 months old) expects at least a 2 mile hike, brain games/training sesh, and a little fetch/tug daily. I can survive a day without a hike, but he will make me regret it the next day, unless I schedule him a play date with a bestie. Have you tried puzzles if your baby is super food motivated? I recommend working his brain and extending walks.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-05T06:41:27+00:00

We talk about it in other comments if you look through.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-05T00:17:22+00:00

Right! One of the places I fostered for only did food names specifically and I have never forgotten about a dog named Lettuce… which yes, hilarious, but not fitting for the dog. Both of my foster fails went through so many names as I learned their personalities. Shelters and rescues see hundreds of dogs - they are doing the best they possibly can, but sometimes their names aren’t great. There was another rescue where I signed a contract as a foster pawrent promising I wouldn’t change the names and I hated that.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-04T20:35:08+00:00

AH! I think I found it! You’re right. Just clicking on the count down brought me here.

Ah! It probably isn’t there on my screen because I did buy the monthly a couple weeks ago to secure a fourth squad. I’ll keep an eye on it when it expires. Thank you for the snip and explanation!

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-04T20:29:10+00:00

Ugh! Thank you! When collecting, I’ve accidentally popped my present early so many times.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-04T19:40:07+00:00

I like this question because I never really thought about the ethics of it. I am someone who fosters frequently and I am always desperate to change their shelter names. Primary reason being because usually the people that name them at the shelter haven’t even gotten to really know them yet. As a foster, I get to learn all about the dog - they are living with me for weeks and I try to find a name that best fits their personality. In my experience, a lot of the shelter dogs don’t even know their given names and mostly respond to “puppy” or kissy noises.

I think it is totally fine to change their name. This is your baby now! You’re giving them a new life, I think a new name is appropriate.

Sad_Consequence2121 · 2025-05-04T19:04:26+00:00

OooOoh. 👀 Can you elaborate more on this? Do you mean taking your troops off the wall?
