Well, I don't mean for this to be taken as a complaint. I'm just requesting clarity.

As I said, I'm enjoying the game very much. In fact I'm exhibiting withdrawal symptoms as I sit here at work worried over whether two of my fathers will still be among the animated when I get home this evening.

As for the dog, I don't know how to check whether or not their happiness increased. They were pretty happy pre-dog. But while the family doesn't even act as if they realize the dog's there, he's kinda grown on me.
