    I will gladly join you as you take the net step! We started in 2006 and I really liked your video collection. You showed a lot of things I had forgotten about. Looks like the future will include some of the ideas from Webkinz Friends and that would be great! I miss WF. I always thought it would be great to walk around Kinzville and walk into the W Shop or Curio Shop. Thanks Ganz and Happy Birthday.

    I am going a little off subject here, but what is happening (or rather, NOT happening) to the Gamz Parent Club site? You used to have such cool clicky-floaty’s and contests, as well as fun projects and tips. What happened to it? Does anyone else miss it??

I miss a few things, but i’m excited about whats coming :) Right now I just got a hamster but it didn’t count as a new pet to get me to a normal member again :/ oh well, maybe I’ll get one of the new plushes :) Thanks for 10 years of fun Webkinz!!!!!!!! -NANCYDREW1 aka Gretal8 aka Mango Wordford

    I heard about Webkinz sometime in the 2006/2007 school year through conversations some of my students had and the stuffed animals they were bringing with them to school. Then in the beginning of the new school year 2007 a local grocery store had Webkinz for sale….well, lo and behold there was a beautiful Webkinz Clydesdale. (I love horses, especially the big draft horses.) I had some extra mad money and it went home with me. The rest is history as they say!! My Clydesdale Greatheart (Named for the horse in Robin McKinley’s book “Beauty”) is still one of my favorite Webkinz pets! Happy 10th anniversary Webkinz and Ganz Staff! You’ve done a great job through the years! ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫

    I’m proud to say I’ve been here since the beginning! :) I still have my Golden Retriever Mario and my Black and White cat Daisy. A lot of things have definitely changed, Ganz. This whole “deluxe membership”, the new layout of the site, Doc. Quack having to close… I’m still a committed player, despite being 16 now. I started when I was 5, when this site first started and I was so excited. I remember signing up for Kinzchat Plus when I was about 7 and I was so excited aha! I’m happy to still be here and here’s to another great year of Ganz fun! :)

    I joined in 2007. It’s sad to think that so many of the good things are gone now. =(
