Today I was looking for a name. The Name Check box said there was 1 creatu with that name. The Rancher Shop Name Search gave me a user and said that the creatu was in her rancher shop. However, when I went to the user's rancher shop, it was empty ("There are no creatu in this Rancher Shop!”). So it looks like the pet doesn’t actually exist. The user hasn’t been on since 2009. Is this a Name Check glitch or could the name actually belong to another pet?

That sucks :(. Thanks for the reply though!
