Was there a flush, or something for pet day? Or is this just a fluke?

Recently there were new achievements for having different pet colors, although I kind of question how it ended up nearly clearing Adopt R Us.

They were deleted. I checked some names I knew of in there and the names are now available. It was likely done to prevent people from adopting pets, getting the achievement and dumping them again.

I'm actually glad they did that. Some of those pets had been there for ages!

I have to say overall I am VERY glad that they did it but at the same time I'm days away from a new pet slot and I love to lurk the pound for good stats and hidden gems.

Staff decided to kick off Pet Day celebrations by nuking all the pets in the Adoption Center.

Start stockpiling canned goods, bottled water, and candles in preparation for the next user appreciation day, comrade.

It would've been nice if they had warned us about the nuke, although I'm glad they cleared the center out since a lot of the pets were sitting in there unloved... :/

I adopted four pets just a few days prior to the "clean up."
Not a moment too soon, apparently!
