Big Pet, Little Car July 31st, 2011
Real-life Pet Society moment: The first two pictures were taken in my neighborhood in Seattle. There’s a guy who lives in a pink house, who always has comical displays in his front yard. I’m not sure if he plays Pet Society, but I bet he’d like it, because he tries to turn his real world into a cartoon.
The last picture is from my Pet Society neighborhood, where MK has created a delightful camping-on-the-beach scene. Looks like her pet is having a blast!
