Well I was running from the Charred Vale to Desolace then heading to Feralas. I stop in Nijel's Point to get the FP there since I for some reason didn't have it then started to make my way south. I look to my left and see Giggler. I had spent many a late night and early mornings, as soon as I was big enough, hunting for giggler on my main Alliance and high level Hord and have never seen him. I've never even seen him as someone's pet. I had Abracatdabra (aka Humar) with me. I litterally said "Screw it" quickly hugged and kissed my black lion and said "Have a great vacation and raise some hell out here" and released him. I started the tame immediately especially since Giggler was now attacking me. Tamed him and I'm happier about it then I ever thought I'd be. This same toon (alt hunter Alliance) also has Snort.
What I'm finding a bit odd in all this is there's been no heartbreak or loss in releasing Humar. I know that as soon as Cat hits or our added stable slots he'll be the first I go after, if not the second if it's in time for me to bring my Ghost Saber home. What's even more odd is that I cannot stomach the thought of releasing Humar from my main.
At any rate.
The pet taming curse has hit me hard once again and I now have a secondary Hyena on my alt that I'd been hunting for years. New stable slots just CANNOT come fast enough.
Marvelous!!! I'm planning on getting him on my baby Hunter as soon as I'm high enough level. I used to have the SM red hyena on my main, and was devastated when I had to let him go (this was at the time of 3 stable slots, not 5!).
