Quote of the Week


The plight of the Maraquan pet is one that's usually overlooked. Don't give in. I personally can't take a stand because there isn't enough room in the bathtub to stand up, but you can.


Aquatic Festival



Acaras are most commonly found along the shores of lakes and the salty ocean coastlines. With their large ears, they can detect mussels and crabs beneath the sand during low tides. Young Acaras hone their fishing skills in nearby tide pools until the day of the Bowla Moon! Once a year towards the end of June, the bowla gather in huge schools about a mile offshore. The strange petpets prepare for the migration to raise their fry in oceanic trenches. Being felines, how could Acaras resist such an interesting and easy prey opportunity?!

For those un-athletic pets (and trust me, more exist than we think), this is a time of great danger.

"Downfall" by jillpuppy
She would not fail, like the other times. She was now more powerful than they could imagine. She would rule the world. (Because she couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't go back.) But maybe (just maybe), after this was all over, she'd let herself look back. Maybe then, she'd let herself remember who she once was...

"A Muddy Escapade" by mckinleybooksfan
The wind ruffled her fur, and she could smell a mud puddle beckoning. Eyes closed, the baby Lupe followed her nose to the edge of the puddle. After she dipped a toe in, the Lupe paused. The mud puddle offered many possibilities, all of which seemed enormously appealing...
