1. Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!

   TBH, there's not many bodies of water in my area (except saltwater). I'd be surprised if raccoons do the drowning-dogs thing with 100lb dogs due to lack of practice.

2. [LockGuard Official] I've been working on something BIG... and fun...

   So... I totally added additional features, like prop importing/attaching. I figured that is an absolute necessity out of the gate. And now I'm staring at props and avatars being like... I bet, I can make the puppeteering system 'cling' to mesh surfaces with whatever offset its at... so you can lock a hand onto any mesh surface as you animate.... even if that surface is animating (like another avatar). Not just IK targets... but the surface itself, so you can do crazy good, animated interaction between two avatars with zero manual targeting, without having to adjust every frame. 🤣😅 (save me from myself, please)

3. Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!

   Just be glad it wasn't some older, wiser, much-heavier raccoon. I feel bad for it, but I'm still glad things didn't end worse.

4. Theatre, Play, and Deception in SL, Which, When, and Why?

   Ok, but now I think you're making a distinction based purely on emotional reaction rather than structural reality. There is no proximity at all between an Advocate and a Troll, except possibly in the feelings of discomfort they might initiate. Confusing the two is a straightforward category error. It’s like saying a Surgeon and a Mugger are "neighbours" because they both use knives and cause pain. In legal terms, this is the difference between Actus Reus (the act) and Mens Rea (the intent). Civilized systems have spent two thousand years agreeing that the Act alone does not constitute the crime, the Mind matters. The Troll and the Advocate share the Act (disruption/discomfort). But the Troll possesses the Mens Rea (intent to damage), while the Advocate possesses a Constructive Intent (intent to stress-test/strengthen). To treat them as identical because the "sensation" is similar, is to get rid of basic principles of justice. As a society (and a forum), we could probably do with worrying less about what something "feels" like, and more about what something actually "is."

   The raccoon was small and young. Cinnamon isn't an experienced swimmer (none of my huskies liked to swim yet).
