Thanks for the tips, ChantillyTex. You guessed correctly that I was getting the error about a duplicate event. I will try your suggestions.

My group is hosting a two-week long event in SL. I would like to be able to post this on the SL events calendar, but when I try to post it onconsecutive days, an error message is returned. What is the proper way to invite people to events that last more than 12 hours?

All VKC Pets released since September 2012 are pathfinding-enabled. Gradually, the creator is re-releasing older pets with the new pathfinding skills but balancing this effort with creating new pets and updating the scripts to ensure that the VKC Pets are the best that they can be. Medhue, it would be a thrill if they were able to have skeletons that allowed them to move more naturally and with even less lag. As it is, the VKC Pets place pretty light demands on the region's resources, especially with pathfinding enabled. As it is today, in addition to the animations for basic movements, both overt and subtle, the VKC animals offer petting animations that are unique to each animal with many animals offering 3 or 4 petting animations. The smaller pets offer animations that allow the animal to jump into the arms of its owner in order to be carried around. I first met the VKC Pets in 2007 as a newcomer to SL. In fact, the VKC Australian Shepherd was my very first purchase in SL, ahead of skin, hair, home and other common things one imagines that someone new might choose. I still enjoy my girl Pixel as much today as I did then because she is able to grow along with me as each of us learns new skills. Indeed, it is the VKC Pets that keep me coming back to SL after all these years. One reason why I hang out with the VKC is that on a daily basis I hear from people who respond to the pets on a visceral level. They talk about how life-like the pets are and how they love them just as they would a pet in RL. Some have VKC Pets because they cannot have pets in RL. Some adopt a VKC Pet who reminds them of a pet who has crossed the rainbow bridge and view their VKC Pet as a surrogate for the lost loved one. Some adopt a VKC Pet in SL and come to appreciate it so much that they go out and adopt a pet in RL. Another reason is that it is just so much fun to hear people express amazement when they see all the features the VKC Pets offer. There are so many ways to interact with the pets and they offer so much in the way of basic skills. People thrill when their pets come unbidden to greet them when they login. They are pleased when their pets respond to commands from their friends in local chat. They enjoy playing with their pets and how their pets are able to play with toys. Added to this is the fact that the VKC Pets can learn new skills, and they can learn to behave using one set of skills in one location and a different set of skills in another. I could go on (and on and on, ask anyone who knows me), but I am afraid this might start to seem like an advertisement. But what I have to say about these pets comes from my heart. They are, without a doubt, among the best of what SL has to offer. For those who would like to meet the VKC Pets, I invite you to stop by one of our several VKC Parks. Play with the pets, talk to a trainer, relax and have fun. You can find the SLURLs to the parks and more information about the pets on the VKC Website.

Beauty and brains, too. Supermodel Roe is a VKC Proven Trainer who helps folks with their VKC Dogs. Great photograph, Fina!
