Wholesome Pets From Old Trades

[Spottedleaf16]

So I was perusing my pets and looking at old trades and how I got them (man, was I bad at trades back in the day lol) when I came across this pet:


I clicked on the trade that I got them (from 2011) and read an old back-and-forth trade conversation that went a little like this:

Trade partner: can I have this bunny?
Me: Listen, I'll give you Truth as long as you take care of her okay?
Them: Okay I will In a few minutes look at my groups and look for Truth
Me: You have to remember! Thanks so much!

Now, the name of that bunny in the trade was still Truth. So I clicked on it. And this is what I saw:


For TEN YEARS that player has kept Truth very safe and sound indeed. Now unfortunately, they haven't logged on since 2020, but I wish I could reach out and thank them because that just hit me right in the feels <3


Has anyone else done this? Looked back at old trades and been exasperated at your younger self, or touched by the thoughtfulness of your trade partner, or found the trade that landed you your favourite pet?
Feel free to share!

Yes! I have the perfect example of this! This was my very first rare trade, and that cat was my very first rare, and a while ago I just wondered what happened to that cat, since I love it’s design. So I checked it out and…



Look at this cool dressup! I know this is very recent but I haven’t been here for so long and this was very special to me.

I'll have to dig through my trades to see if anyone has does this with pets I've gifted them! ^^
