Erm well hello for the first time. this is Mamma mimi here and ready to answer the Enormous, Towering pile of letters you all lovely community has sent me.
Forever, i am grateful to you, indebted to you the players, for playing dog online. I hope that if I answer your letters you will continue to play dog online.
Koral asks:
mimi i love your game and i hope to continue playing it and sharing it with friends for Many Many Years to come!!!
my question is what inspired dog online dot net to come to fruition in your mind.. i am curious if you pulled from specific old online spaces and games to create this glorious game.
thank you!!
oh *bows in deep respect* i am speaking to.. Oh my Goodness! It's Koral the top dog. Aah... i better make a good first impression...
well you see. When i was just a small pup not even one years old: my Mama bought me the computer, and inside the computer, I discovered there were: Websites.
How did they make Websites? Who was the inventor? Well at the time i was a baby. i did not know. But still. I liked to play on the websites. Hmm, let me dig around my Piles and Stacks of memories-- Oh! Here it is. It is my list of favorite Websites.
Oh! The Memories! Very nostalgic. Well, eventually i grew up and now, I am the one who makes the Websites. (But Not all of them... Just dogonline.net). And Any One can learn how to make a Website, and put it on the internet, you know. Isn't that the Beauty of Websites?
Fargo asks:
I love all the awesome little guys in the lonely tower! What's your favorite enemy?
it's got to be Peeper. The Silent Protagonist of the tower: He has been there always. they say Peeper is worthless and weak -- No! In fact. You'd better watch out. Soon enough Peeper will bring his Peeper pals and you'll see how cool he really is.
Wolfwood asks:
Mama Mimi where did the games go and will they be home soon? 3:
The Games are on a self imposed journey of self improvement. I Promise to You dear player, when they return, Games will be stronger and better than ever. And with less Bugs. Much less bugs...
MunchieDog asks:
Hello Mimi!!! Thank you so much for dog online dot net, my friends and I have so much fun on dog online dot net every day. You and your team have cultivated a very kind and welcoming community that I feel very lucky to be a part of.
I'm sure you intended for this to be specifically site related questions but it has been burning in my mind I MUST know... What is updog?
Bug asks:
Is it okay to search for bugs on purpose in dog online? I've always been interested in searching for bugs whenever I can, but there's always the fear of my account being deleted/suspended while searching (and I'm also curious about the gift for finding a real bug)
Thanks for creating this experience, I cant wait to continue to play dog online every day and uncover its charming secrets!
A Cruel Irony, a dog named Bug is asking about Bugs. Computer Bugs that is... Well. I pray that you youself do not get Debugged.
To answer the question. Yes please you need to find as many bugs as possible in Dog Online. You need to email me as soon as you find a bug or esle how will I Fix it?
Do you know any Bug Finders? they are often holding a special item that only a true Bug Finder can hold. All Dogs can Be a Bug Finder too, but only... if you don't use a Bug for your own Evil purposes!!
Wuff! Hello, I'm free dog, and Mama Mimi is taking a short break from answering letters. In the meantime, I'll be doling out some FREE advice! Wuff!
Anonymous asks:
Do the dogs have consciousness? would they want to? could we fit the dogs into our society?
Wuff! I think... therefore they do?
Sorry bud, it's been a long time since I read the Musings of Dogcartes. You can rest assured that the dogs are happy just the way they are, playing, planting, and rumpusing in the tower!
Don't worry about them! Wuff!
B0RK asks:
Hello Mama Mimi,
I love dog online and your eight beautiful children. I play dog online every day without fail. HOWEVER: Many food items in the game with 0 nutritional value fail to note that it's awesome and/or yummy to eat the item, only instead noting that it is not nutritional to eat the item. Can you weigh in on relative awesomeness of foods with 0 nutrition?
Wuff! I'll answer this one! Hmm, what a wonderful question... Yes- food that is nutritious is good for you, but food that isn't can be even yummier, and eating yummy food is good for the soul! Wuff!
I love eating mulch, personally. I love mulch...
...
Huh? What was the question? Wuff?
Bug asks:
Hi hi! I'm very sorry if this isn't a bug and its an intended feature, but it seems weird to me that when the Sunny Flower Wand is on cooldown it can heal you anyways if you use it (e.g., I've used it in the Clouddogy fight to heal whenever they disabled all of my combat items for a turn)
I tried recreating the same thing with the cheese cutlass, but the chance of healing seems to be pretty low, so I wasnt able to check if it happened with all items that heal you after attacking, but I'd guess they all work like that, and since items that attack that can also heal you after using them never heal if you win a combat with them this interaction felt like an error on how the turns are counted in the game to me
Much love and sorry again if this is not a bug ☆
Wuff! Hmm- you know, recently I've been looking at my pile of various rusty swords and broken wands, and the last few days they've all been... rattling... changing color... getting lighter and heavier...
Maybe you should keep an eye out for changes in your own collection soon, too? Wuff?

fellinmud asks:
Purple Striped Socks are 4 million dollars
If it was up to Me, I says we make them 4 Milliong Apples, Payable In Apples to Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I trieds on these Ding Dang Big Money Socks and Well.... They Didn't Fits. Da Shopowner then hit me with a Big Big Big Stinkin' Broom and said "SHOO! SHOO! WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU?! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!! GET THOSE SHIRTS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!!" And To This Day, I Still Don't Get What The Big Dealio was There........
Maybe My Act Of Braveries and Minimal Broom Property Damage will help prices go down?
You can still buy them for Bragging Big Money You Use Badly rights, though!!
