before you make one for your pet

Meet Pepper and Maple

Our two example pets. Each started as one photo and went through the same steps as every order, so this is exactly what you get, drawn for them instead of for your pet.

Pepper

example cat · a tuxedo · one photo

The Little Theater

Pepper as a paper puppet, in the poses the film uses. The show plays five short scenes: at home, outside, together, at dinner and at bedtime.

Example: Pepper the cat as a paper puppet, sitting — sitting

At homeYou can't recycle my castle! I guarded it for a whole week. Just peeking out... oh, it's you. I'll come a little closer.
OutsideExcuse me, did you send that ball rolling into my spot? I'll just give it one little pat. Oops. Now I want another.
TogetherYou're coming to check on me? Good. Everything's fine here. I'll just lean in for a chin scratch. That's part of checking, obviously.
DinnerTap, tap. Excuse me, dinner is late! You know my rule. Wait, that smells super yummy... I've forgotten my rule. Is this mine?
BedtimeYou saved my Sunday spot on the warm towels! Good. Laundry basket's perfect. I'm curling up now. Stay nearby... in case I need you.

Example: Maple the golden retriever as a paper puppet, sitting — sitting

At homeOh, you found me! Wait, I'm coming out. Nobody passes my corner without... um, admiring this slipper. You can stay here with me, though.
OutsideWhoa, a runaway ball! Stand back, I'll guard you from it... okay, I just really wanna boop it with my nose. Can I?
TogetherLook, I brought you one shoe! Never the pair, just the best one. Ooh, you're coming closer. Is that for an ear scratch? Please?
DinnerSniff, sniff... hang on, that smells good. My corner can manage without me for one little snack. But you stay nearby, okay? That's different.
BedtimeThe light's getting sleepy. I'll settle across the doorway so I know if you leave. I'm not blocking you. I'm... coming too. After this nap.

The tale

A small animal sets out to find its person, and that animal is your pet, in every picture. You draw a card, and the card opens your pet's tale. Read it on a phone, tap, listen.

The tale's pictures are drawn with your own pet, so here we show the cards you draw from.
