Sylvae loosing her hawk just gave me an idea. We need places to store pets.
Example would be a public stable for horses, for a small daily fee your horse would be stabled, fed and exercised until you retrieve it.
Birds would have a cage, roost or an aviary depending on species. The cage or roost could be kept in your room and once you put your bird there they would stay until you open the cage or put out your arm for them to land on.
Similar storage could be set up for other pets.

Not that I have a pet, but what about an amulet or something? Tie the code into something like a 'pet amulet.' Might be easier to code something generic like that.

You have to wear your amulet or whatever item it is first then:

<recall pet>
Fluffy the rabbit comes out of hiding and follows you.
<dismiss pet>
Fluffy the rabbit hops away.

And whatever other commands there are. This way it could be free and you could store the jewlery, put it in your pack, whatever until you want your pet to come out and play.
