If you travel past the mountain tops and clouds, far into the coldest regions of the sky, you will have found the birthplace of all the snowflakes.

Snowflakes made with the purest water combined with the coldest air you could ever find. Add a touch of winter magic, and tada, a perfect snowflake is born.

This little snowflake is newly arrived in PnF land and is so proud to have drifted down to such a wonderful place. The little snowflake is eager to introduce itself to all the other pets in the land and become part of the winter fun.

Hello! I am tingling with excitement at meeting you. Do you like my laugh? It sounds like tinkling bells; I laugh a lot. When I am with other snowflakes we can produce quite the choir. We are going to have so much fun. I would love to help you build snowmen or join a snowball fight.

I’m not blue, but you may be if you touch me. Tiny, I am so tiny, only about 2 to 1.8 inches (3-4.5 cm). I am a vibrant blue with black spots so I am not easy to miss. Yes, I am poisonous to the touch and that is bad news, but there is good news. If you want to have me in your life, it is simple, provide me a home, and feed me crickets and fruit flies.

The poison comes from the insects I eat out in the wild and those insects have been nibbling on poisonous plants, so if you don’t feed me those types of insects I will be safe to have as a friend. This might be the start of a never-blue friendship.

Aside from being an excellent Scrabble score, I am actually a cute little marsupial hailing from Australia! I have some cousins who live on Tasmania, but it's all about me today. I love to have friends over and munch on fruits, nuts and other assortments of tidbits! I am pretty adaptable, just like hoomans and call all type of terrain home. I have mad skill playing hide and seek, wanna play?

Smooch. I love you. I also love my heart-shaped tail. Oh! You did not notice that, let me dance around so you can see it in motion. There, did you see it, it really is a heart, right? But, let me get to the heart of what I truly love about myself, I am pink. You surely noticed that. Pink is delightful and goes with almost any other colour so if you want to put a bow on me or some cool sunglasses it won’t matter much what colour you choose. I am so glad to meet you and, oh, let me give you another smooch.

As unpredictable as the weather, you never know which mood wind wisps will be in as they whisk by you. They could be as calm as a gentle breeze on your skin or exhibit the fury of a tornado, so adopt at your own risk.

As calm as the trickle of a gentle stream or as mighty as an ocean wave, only those experienced with wisp behavior dare to interact with water wisps as their temperament is so unpredictable.

Glowing eyes peer out of the mist in the middle of the dark forest. The dark shape bursts out from the trees, with head to the ground, following a scent. Powerful legs push the body to speed up until dinner is caught. With head thrown back, a mournful howl is cast at the sky, and voices echo back.

This Halloween, as you enjoy trick or treating, you may catch sight of this elusive creature. The black wolf is said to live in the forest beyond the town, but the forest is deep and dark; very few pets are brave enough to wander far off the paths in this forest. The wolves are shy of humans and towns, so it is rare to catch a glimpse, except on Halloween night, when rumour has it that the black wolves come close to town to watch the festivities. Maybe they are curious about the costumes that look nothing like the pets that live in the town. Maybe the wolves just like Halloween.

Woof! Do you know me? I am loyal, brave, clever, stubborn, and proud. Whew! That description is almost as long as I am. I am a Dachshund, a low, long dog breed belonging to the scenthound family. That means I have a great sniffer. A bloodhound has 300 million scent receptors, and I have 125 million. It has been said that a Dachshund can scent as far away as 20 km (18 miles).
I love to run and can run fairly fast for short distances, but I am not good with stairs, so if you invite me to your three-story house, perhaps you could carry me if you want to give me a house tour.

I love to play; I remember—I was playing catch the ball, and I got stuck on the ball, yup, it rolled right under my tummy, and because I am so low to the ground, the ball got wedged under me. It is ok; I have a good sense of humour.

Arf! Arf! Someone is at the door; are you expecting visitors? I hope so; I love visitors. I also love laying on your lap, getting loads of pets and cuddles. I will follow you wherever you go because I love being with you and am curious about everything you do. Thankfully I am small enough so you can carry me with you. You would not leave someone as cute as me behind, right?
I am a Shih Tzu; my breed originally came from Tibet, a mix of Pekingese and Lhasa Apso. I am so happy to be here with you, and though I may bark a lot—just to let you know someone is arriving at your door—I can be quiet and lazy too. I want to make friends with all your other pets so I will always put my best paw forward.

When I was a young bundle of tawny feathers, I danced for the sheer joy of playing. Now that I am all grown up, I will still dance. I will dance to form a bond. I will dance to strengthen that bond through the years. I will dance and call to communicate if I want to be left alone or if I want to play.

The Red-crowned crane, with the scientific name of Grus japonensis, is one of the largest birds in the world, standing at 158 centimeters (5 feet), with a wing span of 2.5 meters (8 feet). With black-tipped wings and a patch of red on its head, which is actually exposed skin, the Red-crowned crane is a symbol of long life, good luck, and fidelity.

Sssorry! I did not mean to ssstartle you. Please don’t run away. I was just over there on that cracked rock, sssunning myself. I have been watching you when you come out to play with your pets, and I thought to myself how I should introduce myself and maybe we could be friends.
Ahem, here I am, introducing myself to you. Thank you for not running away; it is hard being a sssnake. I am a harmless garden sssnake; I live over there, under that flower pot—please don’t take it away, or I will have to find a new home, and I am not sssure I can find a home as cozy as under that pot. I love to come out and sssunbathe when the sssun is ssshining, but I am a bit lonely. I can’t bite, and I don’t eat much. Do you think we can be friends?

Baa Baa, well hello there. Spring is here; can you feel the warmth in the sun? Look, the flowers are so happy, and so am I. Do you know what spring brings? I get a haircut. Oh yes! I am so excited. My wool kept me so warm and cozy all winter, but now I want it all gone, so I can feel renewed. I bet you like getting a haircut too. Does it not make you feel terrific? Then I will get my picture taken, and then I will be all ready to star in a new story. Oh, you did not know? Here in PnF land, we have a storyteller, and I hope they can tell a new exciting story about me.
