Well let's see, first time my sim created a poodle on the floor, Kevin was outside the opposite side of the house. But when the floor became wet, he suddenly started sprinting towards my sim and dropped himself in the water. My sim told him off and he instantly learned that.
Then my sim had to repair the computer and as the stuff was lying on the ground, literally a second later, Kevin came sprinting to play in the trash lol. Told him off.
Then he learned speaking after my sim taught him to. And shortly afterwards the pop-up came. I think it's funny actually. He quite literally sneaked in to the adoption. I did not pick a fox on adoption. That was the first weird thing. That the adoption guy brought two dogs lol.
