Found this pretty thing from a while back:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/viewtrade.php?id=35047981&userid=523448&signature=jNdcaib5QLvb8aXo8jzxZwTheir message?
I wish somebody would gift me I have never been gifted I bet it would be nice.
-.-
That's begging.
Not to mention, the dog is in my "Gifts" group, which also has the words "I rarely trade these away" in the group name, as well.
Usually, that would mean that I'd either have to get offered a pet I quite like, or slight overpay.
And that, my friend, is not even close to a gift.
Or someone asking for a gift.
And seriously, did they have to choose a 2008 pet?
Really?
(The dog wasn't even on their wishlist.

)

Ooh, then they sent another one!
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/viewtrade.php?id=35047997&userid=523448&signature=g33eavQSUsv4LoKjM58FFgWith the message:
I am sorry I wasn't trying to beg (sighs) I would be nice.
(Since I cancelled the previous "trade" with the message that begging was against the rules.)
Oh, and by the way, pal.
That's pretty much begging right there.
You're just not saying "please please please."
But implying that you are doesn't really make a difference.
