we should be able to play with our pets

you guys add a lot of new things to protect our pets so we can use them in combat (like the wolf armor) but face it, the majority of players don't use pets in combat, most of the players (me inclunted) grief when our pet dies like it was real and some times it gets lonely playing by ourselves. so what's the solution? be able to play with our pets of course. Pet them, play catch with them, take them for a walk, actually bonding with them, because we all know its depressing to have them sit in a corner for years without interacting with them.
