I bought the new blue mailbox in Pet Society today, and I noticed that it was interactive! The mail box is normally closed, and if your pet clicks on it, it will open to show all the letters inside. Your pet will laugh the same way it does when it tells a joke to its friends. It’s cute! I love learning that items are interactive and clickable. 
Pet Society is nearly 19 months old and still a “beta” game. Beta is a testing phase for developers to gather feedback and put final touches on the game before its official release.
I’m curious, do you think Pet Society is a beta game?
Do you think Pet Society’s “beta” label is an excuse for frequent mistakes, errors and changes? How do you feel about the label?
Personally, I wonder about the “beta” label. If I’ve been playing the game for this long and it’s not fully finished, then will it ever be officially released?

Four new new mystery items came out today. In the gold mystery boxes, there’s a Knitting Basket and a Scarecrow Mask. In the purple mystery boxes, there’s a Sunflower Hat. In the red mystery boxes, there’s a Sunflower Pot.
I found the Knitting Basket and a Scarecrow Mask so far:
Good luck finding the new items!
p.s. I didn’t look for any stadium sightings this week, since the official Pet Society blog posted all the items for next week already. Also, there’s going to be a clearance sale in the furniture store starting on Monday, but you can get a head start on the low prices already.
There’s a new special fish in the Pet Society fish pond. It’s an emeraldfish, and it can be caught with green foods like courgettes, broccoli, apple soda drink, pears, alien jelly, and others. Please share with everyone in the comments how you caught this fish.
Momo just caught one with a courgette!

Yesterday when I logged into Pet Society, I received the following note from the Mayor along with 3,000 coins. I was hoping Pet Society would finally be out of “beta,” but the “Pet Society Beta” title is still on the game. I wonder if it will ever be out of beta.
The redesign includes many alterations. As you can see in the screencap below, the playing screen is substantially larger, since the ads for other playfish games are now placed above the game screen rather than on the left side of the screen.
There are far less icons on the playing screen. All of the blue “settings” icons on the right side can be minimized or expanded. The icons are more colorful and glossy than the old ones. The Paw Point display has been changed. At each level, the number of paw points returns to zero, and the total displayed is only the number of points you’ve earned in your current level. The health bar is located on the top of the screen rather than on the side. The house room navigation is located on the bottom right corner rather than the top right corner.
If you click the door icon in your house, then you’ll see the shops in town. The shops have new looks too, which remind me of the board game Candyland. If you click on “Friend Street,” then you can view the old neighborhood with trees to bump into for coins (but minus the shops).
When your pet visits its friends, the action icons also have a new look. It no longer matters if your friends are actively playing Pet Society or not. Each visit will earn your pet 35 coins for your first 50 visits each day, 20 coins for the next 25 visits, and 15 coins for each visit thereafter.
Our pets no longer have happiness or hygiene bars. Happiness is no longer a factor in the game, so we can not earn coins and paw points for caring for pets anymore. Although the hygiene bar is gone, flies serve as a measurement of how dirty a pet is. Really filthy pets will have a five flies buzzing around them instead of the old maximum of two flies (see below). You can still earn coins for cleaning pets. For each fly you wash away, you will earn 20 coins. You can earn a maximum of 80 coins and 4 paw points per pet. When the pet is fully clean, you’ll see a message that says “All Clean!”
The inventory and wardrobe chest now have the option to view all items or view items by categories.

Inventory:
The book icon expands to reveal the tutorial book, cookbook and sticker book.
When you receive gifts and messages, they will appear on a notice board, which allows you to open and read them very quickly. You can also open them the old way with your pet.
I really like the larger playing view and the fact that the icons are mainly off the screen. I’m not used to the glossy new icons and the new shop buildings yet, but they are pretty cute. I like that there are less confirmation screens, and if you click the home icon, you actually go straight home. That will save some time. I’ll miss brushing pets for coins..I guess the brush is pointless now.
Things look ok for me, but my husband plays on a Mac, and his Pet Society screen is a disaster. He can’t even see the right side of the playing screen:
What do you think of the new changes?
There’s a new special fish in the Pet Society fish pond. It’s a breadfish, and it can be caught with the small loaf of bread from the food shop.
Momo just caught one! She likes it and thinks it’s funny looking?

I like the garden view window, hydrangea wall hanger and the new dresses.
Here are some sightings of upcoming clothes I saw in the stadium today. I’m just making up my own names for the items because I’m not sure of their official names. There may be more new clothes on the way, but I got tired while hunting these up! Hope you enjoy seeing them.
From left to right (and top to bottom): chef outfit, dress and apron, I heart candies dress, red ruffled dress, pink ruffled dress, Pet Society jersey, candy bow, puffy chef’s hat.

The long-awaited Valentine Heartfish was finally released into the Pet Society pond today. There was a lot of confusion surrounding the release of this fish. Playfish initially announced it was released Feb. 2nd, then after no players could catch it, Playfish said that the Valentine Heartfish had not been released and would not be released in the near future. Now, 23 days after the original announcement, Playfish has announced that the Valentine Heartfish can truly be caught from the pond. It’s taken a long time, but Playfish finally has sorted out the problem. I guess it’s better late then never.
The Valentine Heartfish is a special fish. To catch it, you will need to use the homegrown love cherries, which grow on the love tree, as your bait.
Momo just caught one! I’m so glad it’s finally in the pond.
