An Early Present

i normally go through highs and lows when it comes to hunting for extra elusive pets. for a few weeks straight i may just go all out and farm for hours at a time each day, and then for the next few weeks take a breather to do something else. well after last week's grind on baradin foxes, i decided to take a small break from them this week. the PVP season just started, as did most school holidays, so i saw the increase of players as a sign to come back to the fox kit at a later date.

instead i put some time and energy into the archaeology pets! i already snagged the fossilized hatchling (first rare that i completed too!), so all that was left was the clockwork gnome and crawling claw. i've maxed out the profession, but still no sign of the claw. i did complete the gnome, though. :D


i never knew that there was a key slot on his back. well i guess it makes sense since he's "clockwork" and needs to be wound up to run. only... where's the key? :P

although i had intended to take a break from farming the fox kit, my boyfriend, being just as stubborn as i and an avid supporter of my obsession hobby, decided to take it into his own hands.

he woke me up today and gently informed me that a pet may have jumped into my bags while i was sleeping. you can imagine my initial curiosity and shock. i stumbled out of bed and made my way to our computers, and i found this waiting for me:


needless to say there was much excitement and hugs and kisses all around.


call it an early christmas present. quote: "i didn't want you to go through the holidays without it." many thanks to him for this huge and lovely surprise. *insert super fluffy feelings here* :)
