Hello!

Two of my idogs have issues I have noticed.

Classic 2007 white idog that does turn on, which just doesn't seem to register listening to sound. Am I correct to think the microphone has went bad? If so, is there a general part name I could get and attempt to repair with?

I did try to dust out the microphone hole and try fresh batteries with no luck.

My 2005 white idog has been acting very weird when trying to boot it. Sometimes it takes a few nose presses. It moves incredibly slow. Once it is on, I have noticed it occasionally is slow moving, but overall functions. I haven't done deep repairs on idogs so I have a lot of research to do, but is this the motors going bad? Anyone else have this issue?

I did change out the batteries to fresh ones with no improvement on condition, so I believe it is also the idog itself struggling.

I'd love to get in contact with someone that does repairs if they are willing to converse with me on my journey learning about idogs. 3/8 of my idogs definitely have something wrong, my pink one I believe has a high pitch whine behind all of its sounds and may need a new speaker.

I don't come from a very experienced background, I've only ever disassembled one other toy - the poo-chi - and that fella still is not reassembled. Leg seizing issues happened in all of the ones I collected so I kinda have to learn them if I want to enjoy them.

I want to take care of my robot dog army, I need help! 🥹

I saw palm pals locally, and this collie caught my eye. I am so happy I returned to the location and decided to grab her! I don't think I could have found a more perfect first palm pal.

The softness is out of this world.

I'll actually admit I grabbed two, so I can handle her all I want and not be sad that all well loved plushies seem to eventually end up changed in texture and appearance.

I haven't given a name yet, but Fia isn't a bad brand given name.

I'm honestly especially happy to get her from the market after seeing even palm pals are not immune to crummy scalpers. She's so pretty, I'm sure she will end up with that treatment. RIP idea of adding the chocolate bunny to my chocolate bunny collection. Non-pals Easter plushies for me and all my fellow Richie-wanters.
