I hope you get her back and that it works out. I did something similar once, too.

Don't be too hard on yourself, I think we've all done that at some time or another. At least you know that those pets will always be waiting for you. It may take some apologizing to Blue on your part, but, I think she'll be more than willing to forgive you.

(Edit: Grats on Humar, btw!!! Very cool kitty, I personally have never seen him in the wild)

Congrats on the tame. I'm sure you'll find Blue and she'll forgive you. Like Teigan and Rhyela said, we've all been in that situation before.

gratz. I had Humar on all my toons but then they put that stupid Pitch in and now I only have Humar on my low level toons.

Soooo....."In my spite, dismay and frustration I decide to decimate every living thing (I really hate admitting this for some reason) in the area in the hopes it will reset something and she'll appear." <----This you hate admitting to,and yet you gleefully say..."I quickly killed the two babies and then started taming her. BLUE WAS BACK." And yet killing her babies was A-OK,so long as you had your Blue back?!

May P.Dawg have mercy on your soul.

P.S. I'M KIDDING!!! No,really,I am!! Gratz on getting your Blue back! Seriously,I was kidding!!

Awww, well it sounds like things turned out alright in the end. You got both Humar and Blue. Hey, you never know, if you had bought the other stable slot before and come back, Humar may have been killed/tamed before you came back. At least Blue didn't have a respawn timer of several hours! (Ok, so you waited two, but still.....) This way you got both pets!

I think it all worked out the way P. Dawg wanted it to.

Agreed!

And a big thank you to the community for not raking me over the coals for my lame attempt at "humor" in my previous post...
re-reading it reveals an immature hunter whose attempt at humor was compromised by a serious lack of common sense....
and coffee.

I suppose i should just delete it....

Amazing the way a pixelated creature can work its way into your heart. I have felt so bad when I've had to set pets free (refuse to use the term "abandon") but I'm happy everything worked out for you. First thing I plan on doing with the extra slots is going back for my Humar...had to release him when I stumbled across Loq.

Amen. I laugh jokingly with my friends about how I know they're pixelated, but my god no one understands that bond with pixels like another serious hunter does. I've had nightmares in the past over deleting Loki. My god...I think I'd sob for a couple hours if that ever happened >.<

I find myself surprised at how few times Humar has been spotted. I personally ahve seen him about 3-4 times, just checking to see if he was there. However, I did have to wait 5 hours to get a hold of him, but he was worth it.

Maybe I'm a little odd, but I've noticed that I can't seem to re-bond with a pet I released. After I hit 80, I retamed both Timber and the Clutchmother, who I'd tamed and loved and missed, but it just never felt the same. I re-released both of them. Even when we get more stable slots, I won't tame them again. Does anyone else have this little issue or am I just being weird?

I've had bonds change, but I haven't actually tried retaming a pet I've released. I have *considered* retaming the red raptor from Duskwallow Marsh, but I've definitely lost the connection with my old buddy, so I haven't even bothered. :\

Ah, remember finding Rak'shiri quick and easy. The pair of us bravely head out to Outlands, ready to become heroes. A few levels later, and there: The black owls. I had to have one. Now, looking at my stables, I couldn't get rid of Midnight, my panther till about 56-60. No way. Rak was in the other spot, and I likely had a wolf or something that I wanted. So, I got rid of Rak, tamed my owl.

A few hours later, I realize....I don't WANT the owl. I want Rak'shiri. Good bye owl and its back to Winterspring. Recruiting the help of a hunter in the area, the pair of us start the hunt. Hour later, and I get the whisper: "Rak'shiri!" Quick easy tame, many thanks, and loyal Moonlight is back with me. The pair of us became heroes, and were praised in Northrend, where we fought, survived, informed that we were dead, (That dialogue in ZD where the Argent people say, "You're X? They say that you're dead!" will always stick out in my mind. Creeped me out. >.>) and braved Icecrown.

As for abandoning and rebonding, I had Midnight, a panther I abandoned in Terokkar at 63-64. I cried for abandoning him, felt so miserable. I killed off the creatures in the area so they wouldn't eat him, released him in a nice glade...Was so sad for days after. >.< Curse you, pixels! Why do we get so attached to thee?

Teigan, I wouldn't say you're weird, but I can't remember personally releasing a pet and then going back to re-tame. I think just about everything I've released so far has been a permanent thing. The only exception I can think of at the moment is my little Sheldon. He started out as a brown/black turtle from...(wow I really cannot remember the name)...that instance in Ashenvale. BLACKFATHOM DEEPS (whew, that took too much brain juice). Anyhow, that was the first Sheldon, but I ended up not really liking his color so I released him and tamed a gray/purple turtle from Dustwallow Marsh. I really liked this Sheldon, but after a while I started feeling all weird about the fact that he didn't "match" me, so I released him and tamed a green/yellow turtle from Hillsbrad. Well, it wasn't long before I started missing my gray/purple Sheldon. The green/yellow turtle matched me, but he wasn't the same. There's something about the gray/purple turtle that I adore! So, bye-bye green/yellow Sheldon and hello gray/purple Sheldon (again)! I'm definitely hanging onto this one this time. And honestly I love him just as much as the "first" one. To me, it's the same one. I found him swimming all by himself out in the ocean and it was almost like he was waiting for me to come find him again. :3

Now when it comes to Tetsusaiga, I think he's one of the ones that I couldn't ever abandon. If I did, I don't think I'd have the same feelings towards him as I do now. He's been my pet for five years and while I don't use him as much anymore, I still remember the good ol' days when he went everywhere with me. That one isn't just some white lion I could go retame, he is the one and only Tetsusaiga.

I do get attached, and I think that's why retaming doesn't work. I chose to give them up once, even if it was stupid noob reasoning behind it, and it was final. I'm much more careful about it now.

I almost was in the same situation as you when I saw Araga and yet I had my pink bird with me at that time, but I did go back to Tarren Mill to deposit my Fritz and was feeling good Araga was still there when I returned. My heart was going frantic though when between the trips I found her, deposited my pink bird and went back, fearing someone would've killed or tamed her before I came back. Fortunately though, there was almost nobody in Alterac as according to the General chat channel list.
