Thank you for the pet. All you have to do is look around and if you see anybody you think would be good to know then do exactly what you have done and give them a pet. This lets them know that you have looked at their profile. I am fairly new to this as well but have already met some really nice people. The thumbs people click on earn 10 points every time someone clicks on one of your comments or tales and vice versa. You can also open a shop and people will but things from it and you can get points as well. Points allow you to buty items or pets. Good luck and I hope to see you around as I don't know when the party stops either. Wishing you a fantasticly happy life full of sparkles and fun. Good karma is given to you and your freinds. Catch you later. Paul.
