I like the flashing colors. It reflects the cathartic pain in reaching a goal and it encourages the impulse to move on.

maybe OP could hire an animator to make a 3 second loop of a happy rabbit eating a carrot and a dog chewing on a bone, anything other than the flashing lights

If you try pulling from different directions, you can pull the one that you feel is lower.

The return to location animation helps here. Drag one animal and the one underneath is available to drag. Probably not very accessible but actually a fun, possibly unintentional, mechanic. Can also drag to see location icon underneath.
