    Yeah, thanks for the *nice n’ long, heheh!* post. My parents and I appreciate Ganz trying to make Webkinz/Webkinz Newz a safe, fun environment for people of all ages. Oh, and just a quick question for Ganz/WKN staff… Can I say the name of my Pinterest account? It has Webkinz related things on there, and I’m following you guys @Webkinz, and everything! Thanks! ~PrettyPika
