Having tried Meeko out, I would not adopt that home wrecker again, Braggen ended up leaving him outside, at another house, guarding the chickens. But if you really want a dog, just ask him to wait in the house near the prospective victim and leave for a day or two, when you return your child might have decided they like him. If it does not work after a few times, try a different dog.

There would also be a limit on the number of pets that can be adopted, so if you already have two you might no be able to get a third.

Yep, it's reported you can only adopt one of any dog, though.

I just bought Vigilance from Markarth, took him home, and my child IMMEDIATELY asked if she could keep him.

Its strange, but Meeko has been guarding those chickens for ages, thought he would have given up by now and gone back to the family house. I have no objections to adopting him if he stays outside.

How about a pet per house Bethesda? And give the option to, 'Go inside Zeus' or 'Guard the house Zeus' on top of an option to keep certain pets. I've always felt bad for Meeko, poor dog. I mean seriously, who wouldn't want'em?

After fast traveling a couple times Lucia finally asked me if she could adopt Meeko, and I said she could have him when I'm not using him. I then told Meeko to go home, and he started to walk towards my house (Winstad Manor), but I left and then returned to my house he was nowhere to be found. I checked at his old shack a couple times as well but he wasn't there either. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so how do I fix this without loading back or anything like that?

Sounds like on his way there, he encountered something and got killed.

I was about 10 feet away from my homestead's front door when I told him to go home, so he didn't have that far to travel. Also, I used Detect Dead around my homestead and his shack to see if his dead body was there and I couldn't find anything.

I've been having trouble with my dog being a pet at my Windstad Manor house, I'm starting to feel like it's a bug tied to that specific house. I got one of my kids to ask if they can keep him(stray dog first, then tried a husky) but when I tell the dog to return home instead of going inside it goes about 15 feed away from the house and tries to sit on these rocks. It acts as if it will stay there but because of the formation of the rocks the dog cannot find flat ground to sit on, so after a few attempts of finding a flat area on the rocks the dog gives up and just walks off into nowhere(followed it) and cannot be found at its original location(tried mulitple dogs who should have a place they return to). Anyone else have something similar happen to them?
