Back in sophomore year of high school (2013) a group of friends were always talking about chicken smoothine during art class, when we were all together, and whenever the pound was about to open. They had already been on the site since 2011 or earlier so they told me and another friend of mine to sign up and adopt the monthly pets and go to the pound. After that point I checked the pound regularly for rare and old pets and malks and trade and gift pets between us.

we gifted each other so often we would often get warnings from staff and whatever SUPER often 🤣 Only one friend that i know of still is active on cs unfortunately, but I've remained hooked on this site since. It's bittersweet for me because I don't really even talk to anyone in that friend group outside of a friend who now works at my local Walmart I see every now and again, this site just brings me back to highschool and fond memories. 🥲
Sorry to get a little rambly, this site just holds a special place in my heart.
