Affixes for hundoj

I'm a turbo beginner and still trying to get a feel for how the affixes work, and was wondering about the use of diminutive-ish affixes beyond their literal meaning. EX. in English, I will affectionately call my dog "doggy", or "puppy" even though she's an adult, and am curious to know how to express this sentiment in Esperanto. I was wondering if "hundido" can work similarly to "puppy", or if -id- doesn't carry over that sense of cuteness and it would just be weird because she isn't literally a hundido. Maybe "hundeto"? But she's also not particularly small, so maybe similar problem. I've not yet seen the explicitly affectionate affixes used outside of names and familial terms so perhaps it's not permissible, but maybe hunjo..? Hundinjo?

Dankon!

Should I prepare collector's cards differently?

I'm preparing my first-ever round of cards (yay!) and I found this card at the store that appears to be from a series one of my recipients is collecting, so I'd like to send it. But I was wondering, since it's a collector's item and rather more fancy than other postcards I've found (with the textured edges and such), is it impolite to send it the same way as other cards? Like, is it still OK to put writing & stamps directly on the card and send it bare, or should I be leaving it blank and sending in an envelope to protect it more? The profile didn't indicate either way, so I just want to get a sense of what people generally hope for since I have no experience in the hobby.
