Pet Society Anonymous

We’re disappointed by the Fairy Dust being promoted this week. It sells for 2 Playfish Cash at the Boutique and it’s supposed to make your pet fly. But it barely gives us a lift. We give it a score of 2 paws out of 5, but only because the gold stars that shoot out are nice. The effects last for three days.

A reader named Abe is optimistic that this is just the beginning of super hero-like powers to come. But at this point, the fairy dust is a drag. It’s no match for the abilities of the Cute Ghost Toy from last year, which flies up, up and away.

Is there anything more beautiful than a cherry blossom tree or a delicately folded paper crane? Sigh. We are LOVING the new Japanese theme in Pet Society this week. There are so many great items to buy, we’re madly making visits to friends and shooing away flies to earn some coins.

Aliza gives five paws to the Zen Garden Door (pictured above). She says that the pink wind chime moves back and forth. This is a regular item, costing 2000 coins at the DIY Shop, and is a great alternative for those who don’t want to pay 14 cash coins for the Mount Fuji view at the Boutique.

Other items that Aliza’s pet is using:
Wave Painting: 4750 coins at the Market (Toys & Collectable)
Anime wig: 1200 coins at the Clothes Shop (Hair Stylist)
Japanese Traditional Wallpaper: 800 coins at DIY
Pink Kotatsu with Sleeping Cat: 3000 coins at the Furniture Store
Ceremonial Teapot & Tea Cups: 400 coins and 250 coins, Furniture Store
(The Japanese scroll and the pink bonsai are from last year.)

Skip the Hot Spring
Julie Anne also loves all the new items, except for the Japanese Hot Spring (10,000 coins) at the Garden Store. She reports that the spring doesn’t work; your little geisha cannot get into it and soak her tired legs. For 10,000 coins, this is a waste. However, if you look further in the Garden Store, you’ll see an older item, a Wooden Hot Tub that is functional and is only half the price. See the Hot Tub in action here: “Pet Society Spa, Mud Face Mask.”

We’re impressed by the size of the new Easter eggs that were just released in Pet Society. As you can see, they’re bigger than the King Burger or Mega Pancakes. But unlike the giant food, they’re not edible, so there’s no danger of your pet (or petling) consuming them.

These eggs, which make up the third set for Easter in Pet Society, can be found in the Furniture Shop for 200-400 coins each. Optional pastel-colored holders go for 100 coins. The decoration from the Easter Mystery Eggs cost more at 400 coins each.

While we like the eggs themselves, we didn’t think the decorations were so hot (at least the ones that my pet found). The big aqua-colored ribbon looks like something from a used car dealership, and the ghostly smiley face feels out of place on the egg. We thought the smiley face was better as a prop for a play. Have you gotten something good from the Easter Mystery Eggs?

Update:
After I posted this, a reader sent in this picture of her pet. She has better decorations, for sure. The smaller blue ribbon works better than my large one, and the swirly flowers look good enough to eat!

Sushi splurged on the new Garden Tea Terrace (3000 coins), but was a bit disappointed that it was just for show. You can place stuff on the tables and the stone steps, but you can’t actually sit there and enjoy a cup of chai. Oh well. At least he got the money from last week’s game update, so he didn’t feel like it was too much of a waste. And it does look nice.

How did you spend your free 3000 coins?
