Where is my Dog Assistant "Rocky" in this new Word 2010? I don't like it that I don't get a choice. I DON'T CARE if other people found the assistants annoying. Those individuals could have just TURNED OFF the feature. UNFORTUNATELY, I have this new 2010 version installed on one computer but I AM NOT installing it on the laptop. So there my buddy will stay.

But why? I really loved the cat and dog assistants that brought a smile and some warmth while working on my computer. Did you know you could right click on them for fun and click 'animate' to make them do silly tricks? Since I don't work in an office I'm not wasting time, but amusing myself.
They should have a download for those who still want it; I'll bet there's lots of us out there!
I totally agree. I liked Rocky the dog, he was perfect and really miss him. The office assistants brought a little sunshine and a pleasantly perfect disctraction, that I think made me more productive, and improved my working environment. Microsoft, please bring these assistants back..
I'm sad that it's gone too. I loved the dog and cat and would switch them now and then. They should bring it back!
This makes me very sad. I love the cat assistant... feels like I have a friend when I sit alone in my office and type, haha.
