Uppie

Puppies, (more commonly known as "uppies"), are common in the pookie society. Many pookies and famfams own them.

Appearance
There are two ways to be an uppie.

The first way is the most common way and gets you picked more often. Wear the color yellow and wear the guardian dog mask (found in the costume trunk.) Add the gaurdian dog feet and the bee antennae for ears if you wish. Otherwise, wear earmuffs, tiaras, wigs (rarely), jackets, dresses, and then whatever else you want. If not wearing the dog feet, wear sneakers, boots, or anything that covers your feet so the penguin flippers aren't showing. For more uppie clothes, click here.

The second way is less common and doesn't get picked very often. This type of uppie mostly gets picked by Newbies and nonmembers. These uppies wear the wolf costume from the Earth Day party and any accessories you wish.

MELDUs
MELDUs are uppies that belong to MELDs. MELDU stands for Mean Evil Little Diva Uppie. MELDUs tend to stay by the MELD's side when bullying pookies. The MELDU also stands up the MELD by saying stuff like "owner didn't push ___!" or "owner is nice!"
