Hi there! Thanks for adopting some Bichon Frises!
🐾 Your new pupper can't wait to get started playing with you. 🐾
❤️
But first, some important stuff to note about animesh, which is what these bichons are...
- Animesh requires an animesh capable second life viewer.
You can download the latest SL viewer here.
Or check out third-party viewers here. - Animesh can't be resized. This isn't our choice; it's a second life thing. Sorry!
- You can only wear one animesh object at a time.
... unless you have a premium account, then you can have two.
Again, this isn't our choice; it's a second life thing. Sorry!
When you make a change that's important to note, it will let you know in local chat with a private to you (owner) message.
Let's go over the different parts of the HUD.

The minimize button closes the full view of the HUD and brings you to the welcome view. Click on this view to go back into the Functions view of the HUD and begin working with a pupper.

Wanderers: How-to and Important notes
To start, with the HUD attached, click on the wanderer you want to work with.
This will make a particle appear over top of one of your dogs on the parcel that looks like the one to the left.
This icon will continue to float over top of your dog until you are finished with its options and turn it on.
With your chosen wanderer selected, as reflected by the particle over top of it, you can then change...
- Phantom: whether your dog can physically push avatars and other physical objects around or not
- Radius: click a number that represents how far in meters your dog can wander from where you turn it on.
- On/off: green turns your wanderer on, red stops it and returns it to its starting point
An important note regarding wanderer/sitter/bed functionality:
When you click to select the wanderer you are working with (or sitter/bed) that selection will stay active for 10 seconds. You can only change options on that item within that 10 second time frame and the selection particle will be active to reflect that. With every button you click to change that bichon you currently have selected, the selection 10 second limit will refresh.
Please make sure you have your desired wanderer/sitter/bed selected when you go to press buttons!
Companions must attach to your "Avatar Center".
You could attach it to your hand or something, but then the dog will flail and move wherever your hand goes and that's gonna be a bit crazy. So hey, if you need to reset where your dog is attached, right click it in your inventory, hover over "Attach to" choose "Avatar Center".
This will allow you to move your dog into a position where it can walk and move alongside of your avatar. It's best to get the dog even with the ground, even if your avatar is floating in its animations. You could have the dog float in the air, but again, kinda weird. You do you, though!
You can ONLY have up to 2 animesh items attached. You could choose two dogs, but if you have two companion dogs attached, the HUD will affect them *both*.
If you want to give your companions a name or customization option, we recommend you attach them one at a time to change their textures and name them. Once you're done, wear them both and bam, you're good to go with your new doggo buddies.
Helds and Purse Pups function almost identically to companions but use their own HUD and override your arm animations, which can be turned off if desired as well.
The sitters and palette bed bichons are decorative items meant to be left in one place that include or are an animated pet.

Sitters & Bed: Important Notes
The sitters and palette bed bichons are decorative items meant to be left in one place that include or are an animated pet.Like wanderers, you'll need to click the one you want to change before the HUD will work with it.
This goes for texture changes, animation playing, etc.
