What I am looking forward to for the summer is spending more time with my family, and going on fun trips like to Great Wolf Lodge, or Michigan’s Adventure and Cedar Point and many other places! What i’m looking forward to in Webkinz is the Marshmallow Challenge and the Summer Clothing Line!
Br0cktree’s rooms look awesome! Thanks so much for mentioning my comment! :D I LOVE SUMMER!
i also wanted to thank Gennelle and Mike for showing my comment and answering my question! i’m going to have to spend a lot of time in the trading room now. XD
Thank you so much, Kamots55! I’m so excited that they posted my rooms and read my email! Thanks Podkinz! The thing that I’m excited about this summer is going to my Youth Group Camp in July. I’ve never gotten to go before now, so I’m super excited for that. I also love playing Webkinz and doing all the fun summer-y events you guys have. -BT
Great Show! You guys ar the best!
Hello, I LOVE ROOM DESIGNING! Sorry, I had to get that out there. Micheal was the perfect person to bring in when talking about room designing! I love his Let’s Build videos! I already want him to make another one, even though he just came out with the Royal Palace one. I really enjoyed that one. Good job Micheal, and keep up the good work! And I did know that you and Mike are different people. LOL! I’m not sure what I will do for Summer… I am probably looking most forward to the Summer Sensation, Marshmallow event, really excited about the Summer clothing line, and finding out what the HUGE surprise is gonna be! :D Oh and, nice rooms pictures! I made a room similar to the top one actually. And Gennelle, I loved the way that you said “Voila!” when you were reading that note! I have to do that some time…LOL! Mike, read your mail!!!!!! LOL! I mean, I’ve been trying to send you this present for the longest time, and I keep getting a message that says: “I’m sorry, your friends mailbox is full. Please try again later.” WHAT! *sigh* Anyway, good job with you and Gennelle’s podkinz, keep up the good work!
Oh and, sorry that I wrote such a long comment!

Hi Mike and Gennelle! I’m soooo excited for summer! I love to go with my family on a trip to a lake where some of our relatives have a camp! We go swimming and hang out together, and it’s a lot of fun. I’m excited for the Marshmallow Collection Event in Webkinz, and also dressing my pets in their nice summer clothes. I have a question for you: will there be any special contests on Webkinz Newz this summer? I love contests, and if you could say anything about upcoming ones, that would be great, unless, of course, it’s a secret. :) Thanks! And of course, I love Podkinz. :D
When will the next concept drawing on the toadstool theme be shown?
Ganz should really make a podkinz theme! :D
A podkinz theme would be awesome!
I hope soon, jkj1004!
Me too, prprprprpr!
Hey, ArtMagician, I LOVED you’re drawings for the AW news contest! They were so cool and creative. ArtMagician, you are an art magician! :mrgreen:
Sorry the “mrgreen” thing was supposed to be a smiley face, I screwed up. Oops. I’ll do a diff one. :)
Thank you so much, 22sarah! I like drawing, so I thought I’d enter the contest. And that’s okay, :mrgreen: and other smileys aren’t working for me either sometimes. :)
I am looking forward for more time to find Rare Items for my Royal Palace. I will make a Ballroom, then a Dining Room, then a Throne room. And I am also looking forward so I can brainstorm more ideas for small rooms. Good luck finding uses for small rooms and finding a Rare Item.;)
HI Mike & Gennelle. I love to decoreate my pets’ rooms possibly my best one is my Husky’s, I did it in a snow theme! I am looking forward to summer for two reasons 1 My birthday is during the summer and 2 I really like it when it gets hot! And it gets hot in the desert!! XD
I love room designing! It’s right up there with dressing up my pet.
Hey I love clothing so could anybody send rare clothing items to Bugz7H :)
yeah sure. by sure i mean maybe. by maybe i mean NO WAY DUDE! sorry i “raised my voice”
Hey Ganz, I have a question: Why do the forums and the comments in the forums take so long to moderate? I asked for a suggestion for a webkinz pet name, and I’ll have to wait a long time to get an answer. Same thing for the forum where I asked for a suggestion for a pet outfit. Is there any way you could make them moderate faster? And one more question: Why isn’t the Signature African Wild Dog, a Signature ENDANGERED African Wild Dog? Because African Wild Dogs are endangered-Critically. I was just wondering why you didn’t make it an endangered pet.
Hey! I LOVE CLOTHING SOOOOO MUCH! So if you have any rare clothing items my webkinz account is SoftballCatcher02!
I just found out that you are supposed to be 13 to have an Instagram account. I didn’t know about this until recently, so I don’t think most people know either. I’m 13 and don’t have Instagram, but I know a lot of Webkinz players are younger. Yeah, so this was really surprising, actually, when I heard you mention Instagram I thought of it.
