Hopefully by now you've read my friend Randi's recent post about Hot Shot smileys. So, I don't need to tell you what's so special about these cool, new, animated emoticons. But something you might not know is that our sister site Webfetti has Hot Shot pets, too!

I mean, maybe it's just me, but I'm the kinda girl who likes my pet to have a little personality... even a bit of a 'tude!

And maybe that's why I've always found the pets at our other sister site, Zwinky Cuties so darn cute!

Members of Zwinky Cuties can adopt these adorable little creatures, care for them and take them for walks around the virtual world.

Heck, just take a gander at the pet parade on the home page and you'll see how irresistable those li'l faces are. My fave is the waddling penguin... the way he turns his head and blinks at ya. Awwwwwwww!

Anyway, if you're anything like me, then Hot Shot pets will totally appeal to you, too.

Obviously, I'm a sucker for this pacing penguin, as well.





This barbecuing dragon's a tasty treat even for a vegetarian like me!




And yes, I'm bananas for this hoppin' monkey, too!
