THRIFTY DREAMS

A [CHEAP_SNOOZE] Blog

21/06/XXXX

Alright guys, so it's been a few days but we've had our first response to our ad! 

Meet Buddy!

A Cocker Spainel-type. Which is a variation of the well known 'dog-type'.

I found a website called the TCPdex, check out the Cocker Spainel-type's entry HERE.

He's 4 inches tall and incredibly friendly. He's really happy to have the space to himself and is helping me construct a staircase I ordered that's going to connect all the shelves together.

He's quite handy for such a little guy. He also helped me figure out a way to make the kitchen sink accessible to TCPs for bathing and perhaps recreational purposes. After he helped me do all the dishes after a few weeks of them sitting there, of course.

I made some TCP scale flyers which he's going to be putting up in some of the local TCP gathering spaces. So we should see more people coming in to stay. 

I've gotta order some more furniture and start making some too. Buddy has been able to customize his little room a smidge but I really want to make him feel comfortable, it looks really utilitarian at the moment. 

Rest easy!

I've noticed that someone left a comment on the guestbook, so I want to introduce a new segment where I answer your questions and respond to your comments! I love reader feedback. Maybe you guys could even send in questions for the TCPs that end up residing here in the future.

CluelessMedea - Hello! My name is Streamy! My friend Medea has been looking for blogs like this to show me. There are no other TCP in my area, so I don't really know what they're like. Do they need to live in groups? That may be difficult for Medea, I have already been "an adorable handful."

It's nice to meet you Streamy! Every TCP is their own unique individual with their own wants and desires. Buddy happens to be very fond of Doo Wop Music and cheese-type chunks. 

I hear that it's common for TCPs to form small communities, often called 'colonies', but it's not really essential to most TCPs. Those groups likely form as a consequence of there not being already available infrastructure to support the rapid influx of spawned TCPs in most towns. So the people that can build those spaces, i.e. other TCPs, tend to congregate for many reasons. Safety being one of them.

The biggest trouble I've had is watching my step. It's hard to live with someone who could be underfoot at any moment, I've been working on small bridges made of Popsicle sticks which can connect major areas such as; the kitchen counter and the coffee table.

It's really up to your personal preference, if you'd like to live among other TCPs then you can seek them out. Perhaps Medea will surprise you in how they handle taking in more than just you.
