PetVille backyard collection item of the day: Mini-Stone Dragon

PetVille keeps promising that our virtual pets will be able to frolick in their very own backyards 'soon,' and in the meantime, is

releasing giftable yard items that are available for one day only. The yard item du jour is this mini-stone dragon, and -- much like the recent FarmVille giftable collection -- the only way to get your own dragon is to receive it as a gift from friends.

Want a tip? We find the best way to convince friends to send you cool stuff (like a dragon made of stone) is by sending them lots of stuff first. If you still don't get what you want, there's nothing wrong with some good, old-fashioned begging to get the job done.

Other PetVille backyard giftables include a limited edition pink Garden Flamingo and a smiling garden gnome.

How many of these have you collected so far?
