Welcome to Chicken Smoothie! ^^ To adopt pets, click on the button on the left side of the main CS page that says Adopt and then go into each category of pet there and adopt as many as you can. :3 Also, there are two special events going on right now, one for Easter and one for CS's 2nd anniversary, so on the main page you'll see two big banners. If you click on them, you'll find even more pets and items you can get. For the next few days you might see a little banner at the very bottom of the forum pages with an Easter egg on it - click that to get token eggs that you can save up and trade in for some of the Easter pets. Adopt as many of each pet of every type as you can, since there are often multiple outcomes for each one and you can trade your spares for older pets you might like.
For general stuff about how to get around the forums, information on pets and all that good stuff, check out
RedBlueGreen’s Must-Read Topics for Newbies, the
FAQ, the
Help page,
Dogstar’s Guide Index and
Chooky’s Help Guide, as well as LIG's guide at the top of this board - those will tell you just about anything you might want to know about CS. ^^ If you have any other questions, feel free to ask any of us
Newbie Helpers any time and we'll do our best to help you out. :3
