I think pets deserve a chat portrait for pet-say/ emote instead of just their tiny icon.
Simple 'nuff, lets make it happen!
Faceicons for pets? That sounds cute. I'd hope it'd be possible, personally.
Even if you'd have to set the pet face icon to a specific state from your own DMI that'd be nice, such as putting in the pet customization kit "Pet Icon: (name of state)"
I'm sure some people might set aside a state for their pet kits.
