Well welcome!

I hope you can accomplish your goal, anything is possible with work and determination! Just in case you by some chance haven't ventured to the
CS Trades - Pets and items and be sure to read the
CS Trade RULES before you post there.

I also find it best to keep up with the current month pets through swapping that way I won't get behind. Each month someone creates an offical swap thread;
here is the one for July. Going to the
The "Is this a fair trade?" Threadwhen sending or before you accept a trade is always a good idea. I still use this a lot myself. One more one great place to get pets is the
CS Free Adoptions. You never know what you may find!
Here are some links to wonderful and helpful pages you should definitely check out:

- Must-Read Topics For Newbies; all of the topics listed here are must-reads. I would strongly recomend checking out as many as you can.

- Here you can get "Adopted" and have your very own mentor to personally help you with the site.
- Finally, this is a list of all the General Helpers who can answer any questions you may have. Usually at least one is on at any given time. You can also feel free to ask me a question if you please.
My top tips for starting out are:
- Don't be ashamed if you don't know something because you're a newbie. Just politely ask someone, we were all newbies once upon a time.
- Always be polite. Some older members are rude to newbies anyways, but always be polite.
- Check out the Oekaki.
- Have fun!

Best of luck and good wishes!
