Jewel Pet at Toy Forum '09
In the interest of research (and certainly not because I secretly have a five-year-old's love for adorability), I went to try and check out the Jewel Pet website.Unfortunately, you can't register unless you have purchased some of the Jewel Pet swag, apparently. Boo!
That said, the pets are, of course, a wide assortment of cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and anything else that can be made to look precious (panda, lamb, squirrel, hedgehog...ahem). Man, I need a real pet.
With that said, they're adorable but I'm not one to like virtual pets. I remember in grade school loving Tamagotchi and Neopets but that's basically it. Real pets are much more lovable but they're such a hassle and expensive to take care of.
