Is there a way to force a pet to play with a plushie? It's a task for Major 'pink tutu' Drills, but all 20 of my pets say the toy is boring. I'm assuming it's because they all have minions, but it doesn't sound right that having minions is preventing from playing with a toy, or having it count as a completed task for a quest?

most people leave one pet without a minion. This is because minions keep a pet happy so anything else that would such as toys, will result in them being bored because they are happy already.

it is right and correct that pets with minions are happy, that's what minions here do. It is also true that pets that are not even a little bit Bored won't destroy play with toys any more, just like pets that aren't hungry won't eat.

Not all quest grantors ask for items that are reasonable to buy given their rewards. Saggitarius requires you to plan ahead so that your balance doesn't drop too low.

The Major asks for you to perform tasks that you may not wish to do. In this case, the task also requires the user to plan ahead and know that you're-in-the-army-now and to follow the rules and regulations as given. One of your squad needs to be without a minion for at least awhile if you want to perform all your possible Major Drills tasks to your maximum ability.

Ah, damn, I just recently gave minions to my last 2 pets who didn't have one up till then. Thank you for answering, I'll think about removing one. :)

Gotcha! I didn't really consider the plan-ahead point of view.
