How sweet! My first dog I adopted as an adult passed away at ten years old last month. What a great dog! He was a gorgeous black German Shepherd with a big heart and an endless zest for life. We played fetch together every day until the last days of his life, even when it became difficult for him to move. He was the best friend I ever had, and I miss him terribly. Nothing but love. ❤
I may be a game dev myself but unironically this is my favorite topic of any of your videos thusfar, my mom has always been the same way with never being able to say no to helping animals & that rubbed off on me big time. I actually volunteer for wildlife rehabilitation in my free time, it's really fulfilling work!
I'm not a game developer and I haven't played any of the games Tim has worked on, but somehow I've watched every video he's released. I have no clue why. This is my comfort channel.
One of my friends in highschool's parents (both of them!) were veterinarians, so they always had the weirdest cats/dogs around the house. I still remember how while watching a movie there a cat crawled into my lap, and as one does I started petting the cat. A bit later I noticed my friend looking over a lot and asked what was going on. He said the cat curled up in my lap was evil and hated literally everyone. Except for me apparently.
Thank you for sharing this with us! I had a demanding week or two at work (which gobbled up my free time), and I’m binging these to catch up. You had a horse?! What a fun video, thanks again.
Happy belated birthday to Abby!🎉 I'm surprised that a "talk to animals" (ala divinity series) perk/feat never made it to one of your games😊 Have a great weekend Tim!
I saw you and the title of the video and I couldn’t have clicked faster! That list of pets, damn! Glad your love for animals got put into your games. Dogmeat has to be the most loved dog in gaming, all because of you and your team!
happy birthday abby! i'm actually astonished with how many animals you've had in your life. Always had severe allergies so I never warmed up to the idea of having pets.
Wonderful video! I love pets and being around animals, so this was a great topic to pick. I know you mentioned this was filmed awhile ago, but happy belated Birthday to Abby!
This is my favorite video of yours. I've had pets ever since I was a kid. My first dogs were a little beagle named Bucky and a Saint Bernard named Boris. Boris and Bucky were inseparable and would go everywhere together. Both died when I was ten and after a few months my aunt and uncle surprised me by getting me a black cocker/lab mix I named Pepper due to her having a bit of white fur on her paw. She reminded me of salt and pepper. Pepper lived a VERY long time. We had her until she passed away when I was twenty-six. When I was twenty-seven I ended up meeting my future partner who raised and showed Ibizan hounds. We had four of them-two boys named Bastian and Tamen and three girls named Mecca and Shiner. Sadly, Basty and Tamen passed away due to epilepsy in 2002. Mecca passed away at 15 in 2003 and we lost Shiner at 10 in 2011. We've had some great Ibizan hounds since then. We had Geb and Haiku who both passed away at 14 this last year and we still have Haven who is 13. Sadly, Ibizan hounds aren't a long-lived breed but while I miss all the pets I've had I can't imagine not having critters around the house.
It sounds like your description of my grandfather same thing happened with him loved animals and had a wide selection from hamsters dogs cats although not as many species as your mother. Animals are always okay in my book and have always been an influence in my life for sure. Thanks for sharing this Tim.
This was such a joy to listen to! But Tim, how did you deal with the loss of so many animal friends throughout the years? I would love nothing more than to house all the senior and abandoned dogs and cats I possibly could, but I don't think my heart could handle saying goodbye so often😞
Thankyou for sharing that with us. Happy birthday Abby!! also rip Pinchy. My husband is very allergic to cats and dogs so no pets for us, I live vicariously through the people with famous dogs on the internet- Nala, Hammy (rip Olivia), Omar (Marisha Ray, critical role)etc and a parakeet named Beaker.
My mom is a huge animal lover too and I'm eternally grateful she passed that on to me. 😊 Life would be so barren without animals. ps: I want to know which state bans skunks from entry 😂 pps: never knew you were local to the DC area! I've been in Arlington for most my life
The United States seem like such a profoundly strange place. What do you mean, the alligator went "back to the pet store"? 😂 They sell alligators as pets? We are talking about the same 4m long, 500kg heavy apex predators?? 😅
I'm enjoying these "spin-off fridays" content! (Next up, which other gamedevs could Tim Cain beat in a fight?) :p I'm just joking, keep up the awesome content, Tim!
She’s snoring in quite a bit of them. I’ve tried to angle my microphone away from her. Whether I’m using my computer, listening to music, or watching TV, her snoring is the ambient soundtrack of my life.
Now I want a RPG where *all* party members, save for your character, are animal. You know, like Ranger Beastmaster trying to play Pokemon in Forgotten Realms...
Hello Mr. Tim Cain and everyone else in here also :) Happy The Abbie's ( i think i'm saying it right :D ) passed Birthday and also Happy Friday Fun Day !! I understand that you filmed this video in 26 th of April which i assume that there should be at least couple of videos stored that we are going to see that in future :) . I also love animals also , i mean who doesn't :) . For next Friday Fun Day idea , would it be possible to talk about movies which is centered about animals . Like Jurassic Park , Planet Of The Apes , Jaws , King Kong , Beethoven , 101 Dalmatians , Tarzan ( Well it's kinda Animal centered movie maybe ? ) .. etc . Happy Friday to everyone and to you also Mr. Tim Cain and hopefully that our beloved Abbie lives long and happly .
Tim could talk about a crack he saw in the sidewalk and I would listen for 30 minutes. He is such a great storyteller
He should definitely make a game about storytelling! 😉😂
he should make a game about crack on the sidewalk
He could fr describe watching paint dry and I’d sit my ass down and LISTEN
@@THEEJONESY Hunter Biden would be the protagonist of that game lol
"We'll just go and look, we won't bring one home". Every cat I've ever had started with that statement.
Actually, every cat except one. He just turned up and wouldn't leave.
@@kieransanders2133 That's one of the main ways to get a cat.
"Gizmo is named after a skunk" is a great piece of fallout trivia
I had a ferret called Gizmo that was about the size of a skunk.
As a pet lover, I can’t stress enough how important this video is. Thank you.
I thought having a pet rat as a kid was unique, but alligator and skunk take the cake!
fancy rats are some of the best pets i've ever had; hugely underrated
Rats are some of the most popular (and best) pets.
Archibald looked like one cool dude absolutely rockin' those shades.
Timeat? Dogcain? I'm thinking of names for the next Fallout dog.
Canine Cain? Cainine? 🤔
Docaine ?

That 1935 picture of his grandfather goes so hard ngl
I want to steal his fit.
Tim might be a Disney princess, with all these animals. My family also took care of a lot of neighborhood animals over the years.
Happy Birthday Abby. Labs are just the best 😊
I love the pride and passion for all these cuties
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABBY!!! "Look how adorable I am. I'm 2 years old." We look at how adorable you are every time we see your videos! 🥰
Happy Birthday, Abby!
I'm not a game developer and I haven't played any of the games Tim has worked on, but somehow I've watched every video he's released. I have no clue why. This is my comfort channel.
Tim, your mom was a wonderful human being. I love how she loved animals of all different shapes and sizes.
Thanks for sharing this amazing experience with animals.
I feel sorry for the crayfish
It knew what it signed up for
Wow. That's such a list of pets! what a wonderful experience it must have been! all the colours and characters!
I can not fathom that you had a pet horse and chickens in a backyard in Alexandria...the thought of that happening today is unbelievable!
Omg thank you so much for telling these stories, so heartwarming and filled with joy. What an amazing childhood.
Happy belated Birthday Abby!
Matching top hats, cute! 😂
Hi Tim! its me, me.
One of my friends in highschool's parents (both of them!) were veterinarians, so they always had the weirdest cats/dogs around the house. I still remember how while watching a movie there a cat crawled into my lap, and as one does I started petting the cat.
A bit later I noticed my friend looking over a lot and asked what was going on. He said the cat curled up in my lap was evil and hated literally everyone. Except for me apparently.
Came here for the game dev talk. This is the best video yet. I lost my dog a few months back and this helped a lot. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this with us! I had a demanding week or two at work (which gobbled up my free time), and I’m binging these to catch up.
You had a horse?! What a fun video, thanks again.
Beautiful reflection. Thank you for sharing!
You did warn us about the cuteness overload, but Abby's last picture cracked me😍😍😍😍
Happy belated birthday to Abby!🎉
I'm surprised that a "talk to animals" (ala divinity series) perk/feat never made it to one of your games😊
Have a great weekend Tim!
Happy Friday Tim! Taking my dog to the beach is one of my favorites activities
People back then looked so classy.
loved this, thanks Tim
Happy birthday Abby!
my dog is named Gizmo. He’s a American foxhound mix
Those dogs are cute fr!
Happy birthday, Abby!
Leasing a cow as a gift ... that's a new one.
"We would run around with them on our heads" Ah so now we know where the thing with odd hats has come from! ;)
I saw you and the title of the video and I couldn’t have clicked faster! That list of pets, damn! Glad your love for animals got put into your games. Dogmeat has to be the most loved dog in gaming, all because of you and your team!
Candy Cane is a GREAT pet name actually
happy birthday abby! i'm actually astonished with how many animals you've had in your life. Always had severe allergies so I never warmed up to the idea of having pets.
Somewhere there is an alternate reality where Fallout had a pet alligator named Suitcase instead of us getting Dogmeat.
PS. Happy Birthday Abby!
I use those Ikea detolf cabinets behind you as enclosures for my hamsters! 🙂
looking cool, Archibald!
Happy Birthday, Abby!
Wonderful video! I love pets and being around animals, so this was a great topic to pick.
I know you mentioned this was filmed awhile ago, but happy belated Birthday to Abby!
Thanks for sharing Tim :)
Hey Tim, important question: which do you prefer, dogs or cats?
Happy belated birthday abby!
This is my favorite video of yours. I've had pets ever since I was a kid. My first dogs were a little beagle named Bucky and a Saint Bernard named Boris. Boris and Bucky were inseparable and would go everywhere together. Both died when I was ten and after a few months my aunt and uncle surprised me by getting me a black cocker/lab mix I named Pepper due to her having a bit of white fur on her paw.

No two animals are alike. They come into your life, and you are never the same.
I feel like your mom needs her own video at this point.
That was a much more diverse menagerie than I was initially expecting! Thanks for sharing.
Haha I can't believe you had a beagle as your first dog as well man!
4:00 Tim's particular sense of humour was apparent quite early, I see.
I am only 60 seconds into the video, and I think your mother is my favorite person ever.
Loved this video, i was smiling the whole 15 minutes
pets are the best
8:28 is the story of my grandparents and my parents, "let's go see this dog! But we're not going to get it..." and lo and behold, that dog came home.
This was a delightful rollercoaster of a video 💚
Thanks for bringing us up to speed on that, Tim.
It sounds like your description of my grandfather same thing happened with him loved animals and had a wide selection from hamsters dogs cats although not as many species as your mother. Animals are always okay in my book and have always been an influence in my life for sure. Thanks for sharing this Tim.
I want this man to be my new grandfather
I don't know why that so funny but, you wanting to name your cat after Kali, the Indian goddess of destruction, is hilarious
Awesome video Tim! I miss my puppy so much..
Thank you TIM . this was the perfect way tonstart the day.
This was such a joy to listen to! But Tim, how did you deal with the loss of so many animal friends throughout the years? I would love nothing more than to house all the senior and abandoned dogs and cats I possibly could, but I don't think my heart could handle saying goodbye so often😞
A house without animals is just a building; the animals make it a home.
I love your videos, Cain! Love Fallout brother!
It seems your dad forgot to take the "Animal Friend" perk Tim
Based, this is the video I was waiting for ever since you started talking about how you had dogs all the time and even have one now.
Thankyou for sharing that with us. Happy birthday Abby!!
also rip Pinchy.
My husband is very allergic to cats and dogs so no pets for us, I live vicariously through the people with famous dogs on the internet- Nala, Hammy (rip Olivia), Omar (Marisha Ray, critical role)etc and a parakeet named Beaker.
This is so lovely.
All of those pets are great but pinchy made me laugh out loud.
Happy Birthday Abbie! ^__^
So jealous! I love animols!
Nice and normal wholesome per stories, then "we had an alligator"
Happy birthday abby!!
Great video!
Please never stop making videos Tim.
Happy Birthday Abby!
April?
You said you're filming some days in advance.
I didn't think it was 2 months, lol.
(I like cats.
Dogs are better.)
Thanks for your videos!
Appreciate the vid, Tim! Watched while surrounded by my 5 cats. They all seem to agree that you could use more cats in your life.
Finally, a video on topics that matter!
My mom is a huge animal lover too and I'm eternally grateful she passed that on to me. 😊 Life would be so barren without animals.
ps: I want to know which state bans skunks from entry 😂
pps: never knew you were local to the DC area! I've been in Arlington for most my life
"Pinchy was found later ... " so casual XD... I loled hard
The United States seem like such a profoundly strange place. What do you mean, the alligator went "back to the pet store"? 😂
They sell alligators as pets? We are talking about the same 4m long, 500kg heavy apex predators?? 😅
Yea but they’re only a baby when you buy them, it’s not that common anymore
@@gunnercooper9405 but... They don't stay a baby, or am I missing something here?
@@Puntilaser thats the owners problem
America is very big on individualism
Happy birthday to Abby!😊
Happy bday Abby!
Thankyou for the warning at the beginning :)
I'm enjoying these "spin-off fridays" content! (Next up, which other gamedevs could Tim Cain beat in a fight?) :p
I'm just joking, keep up the awesome content, Tim!
I'm guessing that Abby is the dog that everyone (except me, apparently) heard snoring in one of your videos?
She’s snoring in quite a bit of them. I’ve tried to angle my microphone away from her. Whether I’m using my computer, listening to music, or watching TV, her snoring is the ambient soundtrack of my life.
@@CainOnGames I'm sure most viewers are fine with it. As I mentioned, I don't even hear it. The only reason I know is because of the comments.
Thank you for the cuteness warning! I'm going to suffer through it though!
Edit: I had a pet Piranha as a kid
I just finished the video.
Tim was right.
There was cuteness overload
Happy 10th abby 🥰
Now I want a RPG where *all* party members, save for your character, are animal. You know, like Ranger Beastmaster trying to play Pokemon in Forgotten Realms...
