Pet Society Free Gifts – April 28th April 29, 2010

Yesterday, two new items were added for us to send as free gifts to our friends in Pet Society, the Bad Wolf Plushie and the Poppy Flower Crown.

Tyson mentioned in a comment that the three pig plushies resembled the characters in the story, “Three Little Pigs.”  It was a great observation! The Blue Pig plushie holds a straw in his hand to build his house of straw. The Pink Pig plushie has a wood log to build his house of wood. The Green Pig plushie is sitting on a pile of bricks to build his brick house. Now we have the Big Bad Wolf to go with them.

Here’s a link to check out lots of versions of the Three Little Pigs folk tale.

Do you like the folk tale?  Have you collected all four characters?

Hideeni: the Pink Valentine Tiger February 4, 2010

Hideeni has a cute new pink tiger costume.  Maybe he’s on the prowl, looking for love.  I think he’s still trying to woo Momo. She thinks it’s pretty cute that he picked an outfit to match her looks, but she’s still not quite sure about her lovestruck suitor.

Hideeni is now giving away long stem roses for St. Valentine’s Day.  If you click on Hideeni and choose to share his gift, your friends who play will receive one of twelve roses.

One of Momo’s friends posted that they found Hideeni, and when Momo clicked the link on her wall, she received this purple gift box.

Inside the box was a long stem peach rose.

Momo received a second rose too.  This one’s a long stem deep fuschia rose.

The roses are so more detailed that the roses from last Valentine’s Day.  I really like them.

Have you collected any roses?  If so, which colors have you collected so far?

Updated to add: If you want to see all the rose colors, Pinku posted an image of the full long stem rose collection in the PS World Flickr Pool.  Thanks Pinku!

Updated again to add the full collection of Momo’s long stem roses: white, yellow, orange, peach, pink, deep fuchsia, red, green, light blue, light purple, dark purple, and black.

Pet Society and Snow White January 14, 2010

The original “Snow White” fairy tale was collected and published by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, better known as the Brothers Grimm, in 1812. Titled “Schneewittchen” (in German), or “Little Snow-White,” it’s the story of a girl who escapes being murdered by an huntsman ordered to kill her by her wicked stepmother, the Queen.  In the forest, Snow White befriends seven dwarfs and lives happily until the Queen learns she’s still alive.  The Queen then tries to kill Snow White with a tight corset, a poisoned comb, and lastly a poisoned apple.  Eating the apple puts Snow White in a death-like state. Her friends, the dwarfs, could not bear to bury her in the ground, so instead they placed a glass coffin around her and kept watch over her.  Later, the King’s son sees Snow White and falls in love with her beauty.  He kisses her and the poisoned apple falls from her lips and she awakens.  Of course, after all her troubles, Snow White lived happily ever after.

You can read an English translation of the original “Snow White” fairy tale here. Also, for more on the story of Snow White, check out this Snow White webpage.

Flowers_21 posted a wonderfully creative version of Snow White’s story with her pet in all of the starring roles in the Pet Society World Flickr Group.  I love it!  Check it out.

In 1937, Walt Disney produced an animated picture of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” which was the first full-length animated feature film. In Disney’s version of the fairy tale, the seven dwarfs were given charming and memorable names.

Here’s an image of the seven dwarfs from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” From left to right are Dopey, Sneezy, Bashful, Sleepy, Happy, Grumpy, and Doc.

Do you think the Pet Society Dwarfs 1-7 were based on Walt Disney’s dwarfs?

I think Dwarf 3 is clearly based on Doc.  Even the coloring of his clothing is the same.  I was trying to match some of the others, but I wasn’t quite sure who was who.  What do you think?  Also, are you fan of Snow White story and film?

Pet Society New Year’s Resolutions December 29, 2009

Does your pet have a New Year’s resolution?

Momo wants to eat more healthily and stop buying cakes at the Pet Society food shop.  They sure are tempting though. 😉

What are your pet’s resolutions for 2010?

Hideeni (Stalkereeni) Traps Momo Under the Mistletoe December 15, 2009

Momo was busy decorating her house when Hideeni pounced on her in the doorway.  Momo was rather unsure about this strange turkey-outfitted stranger, especially when he was trying to persuade Momo into kissing him under the mistletoe.  Luckily, Momo ran outside in time to escape!  Beware Stalkereeni!
