Eat, Drink and be Merry

It’s a brand new week in Pet Society, so sign on now via Facebook to view what’s new! Please note that new Shop Items will be hitting the shelves on Monday and this update only includes Mystery Boxes, Digging, Free Gifts and the Limited Items are available on Tuesday and Wednesday! Also note that any item marked “OWO” (One Week Only) will only be available until October 4th at 12 AM GMT, but may return sometime in the future.
Before we get to the update, I’d like to draw your attention to the bottom right hand corner of your Pet Society screen! You may notice that your tiny house (that holds the layout to your home) looks a little different! Things have been rearranged to help make things a little tidier. You can also zoom in and out if you want to make your “house” bigger or smaller depending on the amount of rooms you have! Let us know what you think of this new feature by commenting in our Weekly Release Thread!
It’s Back to School week in Pet Society and with the stress of studying, tests, socializing and dealing with grumpy teachers, our pet’s are looking for a way to let loose and have some fun! What a better time than celebrating the 200th birthday of Oktoberfest?! That’s right Pet Society Fans! This week we’re celebrating both Back to School and Oktoberfest! Our friend “?” has a head start on the fun and games, and word has it that he’s already hidden not three, but four new items in the Mystery Boxes for us to find! Start searching today to see if you can find all four! School is now officially in session! *ding*

It’s time to say “Auf Wiedersehen” (Goodbye) to the Pelican Plushie, as we make room for the newest free gift the Green Double Ribbon Headband! This stylish ribbon is available now, so make sure you send one to your friends today for free!

With the help of your friends, you’ll never be late again for class with the newest addition to our Collaborative Collection, the School Scoreboard Clock! This item requires 20 clicks, and will keep time according to where you live! Make sure you help your friends by clicking on their wall feeds, and hopefully they’ll return the favor!

On Tuesday September 28th for 24 hours only, make sure you stop by the Market – Cool Stuff to pick up your very own Red Microscope, perfect for assisting your pet with all of their science homework needs! (Personally I would love to put the items floating in the bottom of the grocery counter under the microscope, I’ve always wondered was was lurking in there!) On Wednesday September 29th comes the Bunny in a Haystack, also available for 24 hours only, and features a cute (I’m assuming he’s cute, I can only tell so much from the rear end!) bunny who seems to be stuck in a haystack! Both items are animated!

When the weekend approaches, and your pet has finished his/her homework, allow them to loosen up and celebrate hard with the new Pets Oktoberfest Mug , this unique mug unlocks a new animation when worn/held. You can find it in your clothing chest, and when your pet is holding it, he/she will hop, skip and dance with glee! When the weekend is over, and your class is looking a little empty (you know… too much “wheat drinking” gets the best of us), you can use the Summoning School Bell to bring those sleepyheads to class in an instant! Simply place the Bell on your wall, and upon clicking it 3 random friends (from either your friends list, or even new faces from the cafe!) will appear in your room eager to learn!

The Win or Lose Boxes have been updated for the ladies including two very cute Pink and Blue Polka Dot Dresses! Bella will be spending the week wondering if these dresses will be making an appearance on her dear friend Kooki’s Fashion Blog. One of the dresses is pink, so I think there’s a good chance they will if she can find them!

Have you checked out Surviving High School WWYD? (What would you do?) Series on Facebook? Each chapter features a situation that YOU can take control of! Swap your decision, and the story changes.. but some decisions are wiser than others so be careful! So, Pet Society fans, WWYD? The full game is available on iPhone/iPod touch & most mobile phones! In honor of Back To School Week, we’ll be seeing some items from Surviving High School right in our very own town!

The weather is getting cooler which means that Oktoberfest is fast approaching! The traditional holiday, which takes place in Munich, Germany, is generally associated with the consumption of large amounts of beer and traditional German foods, along with general merrymaking. I’ve heard that a place called Kitchener Ontario (Canada), which is a town very close to where I live, (and probably as close as I’ll ever get to the real thing), has one of the biggest Oktoberfest celebrations in the world that takes place every year. I regretfully have never attended, though after looking at these delicious looking dishes that may soon change!

For your own endless supply of German food right at home, simply place the Oktoberfest Take-Out window in your home, and buy the food from there!

Every pet wants to fit in on their first day of highschool, and these new clothes will surely help boost their confidence! Who do you want to be? Amanda the Cheerleader? Or perhaps you’d rather be the Mysterious Bad Boy? You could even dress in the newest traditional Oktoberfest clothes to show your support! Whichever outfit you choose, as long as you’re good to other pets, surviving high school should be a breeze! Remember, you make your own luck! (But having great clothes will definitely give that extra boost. Thanks Lily!)
