Update 14/08/20
It's been over year since I've written an actual update, so I'm gonna go through what's been up the past year!
I got a job last August and it has dramatically slowed down my collection grind, but not halted entirely.
On the 16th of July I traded for this seemingly very elusive VR horse for C$

The 25th of July last year I got one of those pets I almost never believed I'd really own. I traded FR gems for this one.

On 26th of July I won this Kiss PPS in a giveaway!

On the 29th of August last year I did one of my biggest trades of the year, achieving a CEG for FR gems. The trade was completed on the same day my third neice was born, so she's named after her. (:

I traded some bulk rares for the bone PPS on the 30th of March!

During NotN last year I managed to grind up well over 30k gems. I used them to buy a second UR tiger, which I traded down for, among others, these two pets I needed on the 20th of April. There was also a July PPS that will come up later.

On the 14th of June, I traded FR for the last two non (ex)-list pets!

On the same day I traded a Shima Longtail that I got from the pound (actually the second of this pet I've gotten from the pound) for this pineapple:

Then on the 15th of June I traded FR gems for a dark leopard

I straight swapped that July PPS from earlier for this non-coon on the 21st of June!

And on the 23rd of June I traded FR for these two mid-advents:

August 4th saw me trading away the remainder of my summer event tokens for the last grinner I needed!

On the 8th of August I traded off the entirety of my PFQ account for the following four pets:

And I think that pretty much brings us up to date for the year! As of today I have
55 pets left to go. I didn't write a new years resolution, so I guess I'll write a goal for the end of the year for myself now: I'd like to be down to 40 pets needed (not including the new URs lol) by the end of the year!
