sorry if this is dumb..

Generally, I've seen people put posts on these forums with a little blurb about their own pet as a general interest call. Like for example, my pet Nyrene is a florist, so I might make a post seeing if anyone else has a pet who might be interested in going to her shop and be something like a regular.

Also popular that I've seen with a lot of people is if they have a set of pets in their own similar universe, then those pets will make up the friends sections. So you have options, depending on what you're looking for.

And of course, to add a pet friend just find the Friend option on the Pets page when you toggle on each pet to get the drop down menu.

thank you, I missed the option!! lmfao :)
