Petpet Appreciation Day Special

Every Pet Needs a Petpet
by oppseas01

“Every Pet needs a Petpet” is what they say,
Every Pet needs a pet with which it can play. 
It can be Spooky, Maraquan, or it can be Fae,
But when you are gone, its Petpet will stay.

When your night loving Vandagyre goes out in the night,
You needn’t worry with its Filamen to give them light.
If you have a Wocky who is prone to fright,
Their Smiley will help them to feel alright.

If your Uni is feeling misunderstood,
Her Feloreena will make her feel good!
If your Baby Kacheek wanders more than he should,
Its Barlow will keep him in the right neighbourhood!

If your Grarrl can’t be trusted, yet is feeling alone,
Its Rock petpet is perfect, being made out of stone!
If your Lutari is out there always swimming on her own,
Get her a Lutra to be her little swimming clone!

Every Pet needs a Petpet, this is quite true!
When you go on hiatus, and your Pet feels blue,
Their Petpet will always know just what to do.
Together, they will be devoted pals stuck like glue.

To all our faithful Petpets, we gather to say:
WE LOVE YOU! 
HAPPY PETPET APPRECIATION DAY!

An Ode to Petpets (For Petpet Appreciation Day)
by genuine_accident

When I was young, my Pet brand new
I was introduced to you;
My first Petpet, Puppyblew.

I named you Zeus, but soon I knew
You’d change within a zap or two.

As days and dailies all flew by
I watched you change so many times.
In every place we journeyed to
New friends and wonders met us too.

Do you remember when we moved to...

Neopia, where

By flowers, Buzzers hum a song
while Snorkles root and snort along.
As Cobralls seek the stones of sun
the Spyder crawls to webs he's spun.

or Faerieland, where

Haloed Angelpuss', with wings so fair
float gently through the Faerie air.
While down below, ol' Noils roar so loud
their mighty sound disturbs a clouded Floud.

or Meridell, where

Turdles move gradual as a glacial inch 
as armored, arrow-target Turtums flinch.
While 'bove them both a Vullard, perched
Waits watching Turmacs for the worst.

or The Haunted Woods, where

A Bearog's growl sounds far away, thru fog
damp as Slorgs found clung to soggen logs.
In darkened trees, Bat Boy flits by night
Fearing Froilers, their flickered lights.

or Maraqua, where

Oh, Baby Blu with eyes of ocean hues
Below you live those slinking Slugawoos.
And above, the lurking Lutras who
eat lost Soreens and Crabulas too.

or Terror Mountain, where

Firs and Candychans see Feepits’ snowball fight
While a Snicklebeast scares Snowbunnies white.
Little Snowickle, flee to caves as cold as tight
Till the prowling Polarchuck has had his daily bite.



In all our travels, in every place
your forms all wore a gentle face
since I found you in the Marketplace
and brought you to my Pet's embrace.

Oh Petpet, how dearly I have cherished you!
From then 'til now, from me to you
I'll always feel like you're still new.

Lab Ray Exclusive Petpets Shall Enchant
by _brainchild_

Petpet Lab rats shall delight!
No finer cuties are in sight.
These ones must be zapped. Other ways
Will not result in pals to praise.

A Chiruck's two heads can't agree-
They're quite nonsensical to me!
A Flurm is energetic, so
You must keep vigilant, you know!

A Picnic Petpet, interesting,
Should not be eaten, merely seen.
A Salad Slorg, a jolly chap,
Would rather not have a mishap.

An 8-Bit Petpet, pixelated,
May be, in fact, very dated,
Yet is quite the loyal friend.
Companions will please to no end!

So, if you have a lucky zap,
You may get an exclusive chap.
My friend, you'll have to zap away
For Petpets sure to cure dismay.

Happy Petpet Appreciation Day
by lyndsey4657

Some are small, some are tall,
But we care for them all! 
Tiny, round, short or fat,
Having a Petpet is where it's at!

They are loving and so sweet,
Most love to stay at your feet.
Following you here, following you there,
They basically follow you everywhere!

They keep us company when we are sad,
They cheer us up when we are mad.
They rejoice in our glee,
and giggle at us when we flee.

There is a League that protects them all,
The big ones, painted ones, no matter how small!
They make sure they are well cared for,
This was not a big thing before.

No matter if they are painted or original,
They are all individuals!
We love them no matter what,
Today is your day, now watch them strut!

Meepits on their Juice Break
by togepwi

It was a sunny day, but I suddenly froze
What is lurking in the shadows?
Calling out to me
I walked slowly towards a tree

I felt a piercing stare...
Meepits! Meepits everywhere!
They seemed to offer me a truce
But only if I fed them Juppie Juice?

So that became my new job
Feeding an angry mob
Connecting pipes for their juice break
I'm not sure how much more I can take!

It wouldn't be so tricky
If these Meepits weren't so picky!
Their patience also wears thin
There's just no way to win!

I played along and did my best
As if this was some cruel test
I hope the Meepits are satisfied
After all, I wouldn't want to be on their bad side!

Kooky Kookith
by ophiopogon

There's a kooky-looking Kookith
Running the Petpet Lab Ray
Zapping Petpets all day long
And stirring up disarray 

Want a cute new Petpet colour?
Just look behind the wall
of the Secret Laboratory:
That's where you'll find them all!

There's colours you get from a Brush,
And some that are Lab-exclusive:
Gold, Ice, Strawberry, 8-bit,
Jelly, Chocolate and Picnic!

It's not just looks that are at risk of change,
Its level might increase!
But if your luck's unfortunate,
It might also decrease!

Feeling lucky? Wanna try it?
Just go ahead and put
your little Petpet just there-
Uh oh! It's now a Pile of Soot!

Now now, don't cry! It's okay!
At least your pet's still here!
It really could have gone much worse:
Sometimes, Petpets completely disappear!

Valentine PetPets
by dinha_reeves

It's Petpet Appreciation Day
Time to give your Pet a present
You can choose the Valentine Petpets
To make them happy and content.

The Valentine Acko is adorable
With all the little pink hearts
And look at the Valentine Pandaphant
With love in all their parts.

The Valentine Cirrus looks like a plushie
With swings, lines and button eyes
And the Faellie one is so cute
I love watching them flying through the skies.

Have you seen the Valentine's Noil nose?
It's heart-shaped, just like their ears
I wanna hug the Valentine Turtmid
They totally deserve our cheers!

I love the Valentine Lyins so much
And the Valentine Splime too
But nothing compares to the beauty
Of the Valentine Baby Blu.

And the Valentine Ukali is very pretty
Just like the Valentine Ona as well
With his antennas in a heart shape
In these tones of pink and yellow pastel.

Hearts in the eyes of the Valentine Magaral
And Farnswap is an explosion of pink
They're adorable and so sweet
I love them both, no matter what you think.

You might find it hard to believe
But there's even a Valentine Slorg
Leaving massive slime trails along the way
I just hope they don't get eaten by the Florg.

Don't forget the Spyder and the Kadoatie
They're the cutest Petpets you gonna see
The Clompkin is also on the list
As is the Valentine Bubblebee.

The Valentine Bearog is so lovely
Their three heads I really want to hug
The Valentine Rock is a box of chocolate
That will make you wanna eat them with a tea mug.

GX-4 Oscillabot also deserves our love
It's a pretty Robot Petpet
In this pink and heart pattern
It's definitely the one I'll get.

I wonder which one will be released this year
Which Petpet will join this tradition
To get this wonderful and exclusive colour
And be my newest acquisition.

The Joys of Slorg Slime: Discover its Many Uses
by ningkov1

Slimy, squishy little friend 
Trails of slime that will never end
Don’t fret or be mad,
Get creative and be glad! 

Slorg slime is good as lip gloss 
Or let it dry in strips and use it as floss 
For dry skin use as lotion 
Or give it to Kauvara to use in a potion 

Slorg slime is good for playing 
Put in air tight containers for saving 
Add charms and colours,
Sell in Neopia Central to Slorg lovers 

Slorg slime is good as a balm 
Cover burns and feel calm 
It also makes hair shiny and soft
Try it and take the Beauty Contest top spot! 

Slorg slime is good for anger issues 
Give to Dr. Sloth and violent schemes he’ll lose 
Let Jhudora play with it and she’ll smile 
Even the Pant Devil won’t steal for a while 

Slorg slime is also good in a drink 
Mix with Thornberry for a slimy pink 
Put it in some iced coffee,
Mix it well for a slime slushie 

Slorg slime is good for a healthy dinner 
Add it to a salad and you've got a winner 
Why not mix it with some cheese,
And eat it with chips out in the summer breeze

However you use your slime,
Be grateful for your precious Slorg time 
Hug your Petpet and embrace the slime life,
For life without a Slorg is nothing but strife!

Oh to be a Kad
by 9kas

Asleep inside the famed Kadoatery
Are sweet ‘lil Kads you see on full display. 
You contemplate how awesome it would be
To turn into a Kad, just for a day!

With three distinct round markings on the face,
And toe beans that are oh-so loveable,
Such captivating charm and endless grace,
Kadoaties truly are adorable!

To be a Kad is genuinely sweet,
With no responsibilities (or rent!)
Each day the only things you do are eat
And sleep and play until your heart’s content!

Whenever you are hungry you can bawl
And wail to make your urgent needs be known. 
The humans will come flocking at your call,
Gourmet foods ready for you on your throne!

Oh, wouldn’t it be great to be a Kad?
The joys are endless - no way you’ll be sad!

Meepit Games
by tatyanne

Did you know Meepits love drinking juice?
It’s the best way to enjoy all these colourful fruits.
Strawberry juice is a good choice of drink,
And guava juice too, as long as it’s pink.

Meepits are social and have many friends–
Playing Meepit Juice Break ‘til the day ends.
They climb up a tree and wait to be fed–
Drinking mixed juices of blue, yellow and red.

Their absolute best friends happens to be,
The cute little Feepits, so adorable and sweet.
They like to spar and just have fun,
Doing Torpedo Dives, energetically, they run

Meepits deserve their own special day,
So I will celebrate my Meepit today.
With her large eyes and two front teeth,
I think to myself, “How adorable is she?”

It’s a Petpet Party!
by maddie_bangz

It’s time to get together and celebrate
The Petpets we love so much
And on Petpet Appreciation Day
All this planning will come in clutch

We’re throwing a big party!
And inviting all the Petpets around
So get ready for a celebration
That will be the talk of the town

We’ll blow up balloons for Babaas
And bake some cakes for Cobralls
These Petpets are so excited
They’ll be bouncing off the walls!

There will be lots of games to play
The Hopsos will have Hopscotch
The Jinjahs can try jump rope
Their skills could be top notch

There will be so much fun to have
At our Petpet Party happening today
So make sure to bring your Petpets by
So they can get together and play!

Come Meet The Tuffala
by prulletje1852

Have you heard? We found a new friend!
After adventuring all over Neopia
While the search felt like it had no end,
this cute Petpet makes me go "aww"!

Tuffala is the name of this Petpet
Have you looked at her adorable face?
Or have you not found and met her yet?
Then, hurry to Orion with a fast pace!

Orion had several visions a while ago
After a big quake that shook the city
What should he do? He did not know
The visions were too vague and slippery!

Together we figured them out
It was a whole adventure, to be sure
This fast traveling Petpet was about,
swimming through the planet's lava core!

We spotted her at different food shops
Sometimes only one leg or her tail
Quickly disappearing behind some rocks,
never leaving some sort of visible trail!

Now, we get to keep this Tuffala as a friend,
only fair, we were the ones to find her
After all those days together, that we spent
No more chasing, we will adventure together!

A Journey to the Fungus Caves
by spukl1

There is a place I know,
Deep in Krawk Island we need to go. 
It is a smelly & mouldy place,
But there is magic in this space.

It is called the Fungus Caves,
A place to travel if you’re brave.
Bring with you your tiny Petpet
& see what happens when they get wet.

From the moist, slimy & eerie grotto,
Enchantment abounds, & your friend will grow. 
From a Petpet it grows to its full size,
It’s a Krawk right there in front of your eyes!

The Fungus Cave surely lends its power,
To your new Neopet, made this hour. 
With sharp teeth and a scaly stare,
This is a Krawk indeed standing right there.

This journey to the Caves of Fungus,
Was worth the pain of algae among us.
From a little dude to a gnarly Krawk.
A magical day is thanks to this special rock.

An Acrostic for the White Weewoo
by precious_katuch14

The White Weewoo,
I sing of its
Marvelous white feathers,
Eerie dusk calls,
Little beady eyes.
Every day I see it
Soaring into the
Skies above.

Navigating the heights,
Erudite and dependable,
On its delivery job
Passing Neopian Times
Issues to the readers
Always looking forward to
New features and tales.

Tales also are told,
Immortalising the white Weewoo,
Many fantastic adventures,
Exploits of derring-do,
Scholarly studies, too.

Marvelous white Weewoo,
Ages countless have passed,
Still you remain,
Cover to cover,
On every Neopian Times page,
The unmistakable symbol.
