Under normal circumstances Fjola's size doesn't change unless you use the console or something. A lot of the animals sizes were changed to reflect their actual sizes, irl huskies aren't all that big. If you want larger huskies in general then you could just go into the esp with xEdit and change the husky race size by like 0.2 - 0.3 and it should be around where bethesda had it originally.
Anwyn was based on the church grim myth and looks after the cemetery in death. She's invisible because she's a ghost. Originally there was supposed to be either a short quest of some sort or a few clues which would point you towards becoming the thane of Falkreath, gaining her trust, and finally having her pal around with you. Creating quests Isn't really something that I enjoy doing or have much skill in though, so I never got around to it. This has left a lot of people confused because the content is half finished.
Pretty much every pet is in a similar boat to Anwyn, each one was supposed to have a quest of some sort with a minor backstory. That takes a lot of work though and I'm not really experienced in that sort of thing, so instead I just opted to let you talk to most pets to recruit them. The requirements for certain pets are a holdover from the early days of the mod when I had lot of plans that I didn't have the skills to implement.
Once I get around to updating this mod I plan on putting more effort into presentation so a lot of things are going to get redone. If you have any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
