Addicted to Pet Society

Today I remembered I have a blog.  I never feel the urge to write anything because I waste my time doing other things (i.e. playing Pet Society on Facebook); I want the world to know I'm addicted to this childish game; it all started one day, when I was checking Playfish's page on Facebook.  I clicked on a blue shiny button that caught my eye, it read Pet Society, the letter 'o' being a pawn; I thought this was cute so I decided to give it a try.  

The first step was to create a customized pet.  You get to pick the color, ears, eyes, nose, lips, facial fur and a couple of things I do not remember; after all this choosing, you're ready to rock your quadruped friend (the pet actually walks on two feet)!  The game consists in earning money so you spend it anyway you please, mostly to furnish a home you're given. There's a furniture store, a clothing store, a Depot (kind of like the real Home Depot), a Stylist, a Food Store, a Cafe and a Luxury Store.  The last I don't visit much since most of the stuff cost more than $2,000 (yeah, this is hot stuff).

The ways of money making can become boring.  It's all about playing with your pet, racing others' pets and visiting your friends.  Your facebook friends that had already allowed the application (or game) appear on a list at the bottom of the game screen.  The first visit to a friend leaves you with $20; "not much", you might think, but if you have one-hundred friends you're left with $2,000.  Another thing you can become obsessed with is your so called "Paw points".  That's an overall score that you build up by playing.  Any type of activity can increase your score, for example, giving gifts to your friends, and you get more rooms and better toys for the pet.  In conclusion, this is a very nice game you can play whenever you get bored; just remember, don't become addicted.
