Still have it- but I don't remember the user who asked me to hold onto this pet. It's been a while now.

Did they contact you via sMail? If so, you could always check there. There could still be a mail to them in your Outbox. :o

Naw I think the talk was all through the SB. I checked my in and out boxes, and my profile comments. Nothing. I was hoping that they'll snoop around this forum and find my post. And my status is set as a reminder too.

All you could try then is asking around in the SB if anyone remembers the person who you talked to? Might take time but hopefully someone might know more? :o

You might consider adding a reminder to your forum signature as well, in case the owner sees you posting elsewhere. Half the time I forget we can even see people's statuses.
