    I can't say this is a bad game and I can't say it is great game. It's right in the middle. THIS GAME WAS SO MUCH FUN.... For about a week. Now I never play it. It feels like a chore spending 25 minutes to wash 3 dogs that are not even real. Also to walk your dog is dreadful, most of the time he won't even run so it takes forever. The contest were okay but when you I can't say this is a bad game and I can't say it is great game. It's right in the middle. THIS GAME WAS SO MUCH FUN.... For about a week. Now I never play it.
