No that’s not me haha. That Snowy person always has a high score on Zingoz Bounce, but I can always beat it when I try hehe.
YOU SHOULD TRY MIKE! :D lol ps: someone recently got ahold of my webkinz account and spent 10,000 eStore points on a dog which I don’t want! Is there any way to get rid of this dog and get my stuff back?

oh my gosh Gennelle or Mike my friend is BABYBUGGLE and something really wierd is happening lately! ok so we were talking on the phone as played webkinz and I saw a white dog named Abbie in the trading room and my friend said she had a white dog named abbie so I said what does she look like and how is her name spelled we weren’t in the same trading room I checked and I checked my phone she wasn’t even on! And she described this pet! So the pet asked me to trade and I told my friend the stuff she was trading and my friends said that it had her stuff! And the wierd thing is I only see this pet in the trading room on saterday! please help my friends shes really upset :(
I would tell her to call that number but thats for E-store and she tried to change her password but It won’t work :(
Hi playnowpuppy, please tell your friend to email webkinzsupport@ganz.com with her username and the details of her issue.
oh thank u ssoooo much Gennelle u ROCK my friend will be so glad to get rid of this problem :)
That Snowy pet is usually the high score for most games.
I like Snowy, it is really good at games, and Ganz I think a Bee Webkinz would be a good idea!
yeah a bee webkinz like from the picture ;)
calling all deluxe members i love stardrops midnight sky want to be friends playnowpuppy you too
Not sure if this is the place to post, but the sail boat game isn’t working today.
The reason I come to Webkinz Newz is so I can get caught up with all the events happening in Webkinz World and to earn prizes!
i have mike but i named him peter
I got a perfect score! 7!! I GOT ALL OF THE QUESTIONS RIGHT! MIKE AND GENNELLE’S!! YAY!
AWESOME I got 6 out of seven messed up on the kinzville park one oh well 6 is pretty good too :)
I got perfect! Yay! And also the main reason I come to Webkinz Newz is simply because I want to know everything thats going on. Webkinz Newz tells me what pets are going to come out (like the Zombie pup and blossom giraffe which I might be getting) and what pets are retiring so I know when and where to pick them up! Also, Webkinz Newz showcases new designs (and old) of room themes and items! Webkinz Newz is simply the best, and so is Podkinz! Keep on rocking it Ganz, Webkinz is awesome!
My score was 4.
mine was 6 out of 7 :) but 4 is good score too Jammer499858
Very cute honey bee Joel, it’s is super adorable! Gennelle do you think they’re going to make a honey bee? Because I would I would definitely get one! :D
I probably would too, if it’s cute, but usually that is always the case for Webkinz. (except for the Zombie Pup…Ugh. Wish that didn’t have to come out!) But they would probably make a bee cute! :)
what zombie pup? ok we just passed the weird line.
Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have brought that THING up. Here is the link if you REALLY want to see what it is: http://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/coming-soon/coming-soon-zombie-pup/ It is..is..ugly!!! Surprised to call this a Webkinz!
agreed. I can’t believe some people actually LIKE it.
everyone says it “adorable” or “cute” I don’t see a thing about that pup that’s “adorable” or “cute”. and like sparkledream7644 said “we just passed the weird line.” no offence Ganz I’m sure that there is a lot of people out there who would love a zombie pup…… just not me………. You guys do great work! just not one of my favorites.
Some people were saying it would be so cute to sleep beside, how in Webkinz World are u supposed to sleep with that thing beside u?!?!?! No wonder it’s a Halloween pet I mean it would almost be cute if u took away the red bloody colors, stiches, crooked smile, dirty brown color and everything but then it wouldn’t be a Zombie Pup ;) check it out outhttp://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/coming-soon/coming-soon-zombie-pup/
oops the link messed up heres the real link :) http://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/coming-soon/coming-soon-zombie-pup/
I know right!!??!! How is that POSSIBLE!!???!!
yeah please kinz no more Zombie webkinz! Some people are saying kinz should make a Zombie cat but please no kinz!
Oh great the virtual Zombie Pup looks even worse than the plush!
That is a cuuuuute honey bee! Anyway, now I am going to listen to Podkinz. Hey, FIRST COMMENT!
Oops, another comment just finished modifying! Nevermind that first comment thing…
Aw!!! It was only one minute quicker than mine was written! If only I had been faster…
Ah, I made a mistake with something I said! The Game of the Day was never “deluxe only”. I meant to say Deluxe games on the GOTD were originally only for Deluxe members but now anyone can play them!
What does GOTD stand for again, Mike?…Just so that everyone else knows..you know…… :blush: ….hehe…of course I’m PERFECTLY CAPABLE of telling them….(*under breath* noooooot…) …..anyway….I’m going to go now…while you tell eveyone else what that means….bye. SWOOOOOSH! (and I’m gone–’until the fourth of July, ly, ly!’ LOL)
It stands for “Game of the Day”. At the top of the Arcade, there is a slot for this GOTD which changes every day! Playing this game will award you bonus KinzCash. Originally if it was a Deluxe game in the GOTD spot, only Deluxe members could play it naturally. But that was changed a while ago to allow ANYONE to play it even if they aren’t Deluxe. :)
Yeah, I knew what a game of the day was. I just didn’t know what GOTD standed for, but I do now! Hey, yesterday was July 4th! I’m back! LOL
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIBS!!!! And I got all 7 right. I guess for the segment you could call it….. Podkinz Arcade? I’m not the best with names, though. And could we add a comments section for the Share Center? I’d really like to see what other people thought about the drawings and such that I upload (If I do upload any).
Hi Mike and Gennelle! I’m playnowpuppy and I just wanted to tell u I love your podkinz episodes, I’ve watched everyone! Also as for the game thing I got 6 out of seven and don’t worry Gennelle I was guessing some of those questions too! :) I think u should name your game 2 truths and a lie should be called the Webkinz game show with Mike and Gennelle or just plain Webkinz game show! Anyway these are my answers to the questions u asked 1. I love to go on webkinz newz to know all the up and coming things on webkinz and I also like to comment! 2. I like to enter contest because even if I don’t win it’s still fun to try! and for question 3. No, I don’t currently play on Amazing world or Zoe’s design school but I think I might try one of those games now! :) Thanks again Mike and Gennelle U 2 rock with a capital R :)
I love the new segment! if you are looking for a new name then you should do something like what’s in our kinzpost and use the arcade in it
Oh, thanks for helping mike I’m glad none Deluxe members can play the game of the day too! GOTD smart :)
ok like LOL! I don’t know why this is so funny!
YAY! My honey bee picture is shown up there! Thanks Mike, and Gennelle! :D
aw your honey bee looks so cute joel!
Thank you so much sparkledream7644! :D
If you look at the Webkinz Caterpillar, the bee looks somewhat similar. :D
I do your drawing rocks with a capital R :)
your welcome! and yeah it dose look like the Caterpillar. like the face, yeah if you look at the Caterpillars face and then the bees they look really similar!
I had an idea for a Webkinz Bee….. Should I draw it and upload it to the Share Center? (If I can figure out a good way to change a pdf to a jpeg, that is.)
U should Pokekinz I’m sure It would look great :)
Thanks. I’ll go start working on it. ;)
There is a great converting download called Format Factory my familly has try googling it (it’s great and it makes a cool sound when you finish converting your photo/video)
aww the Honey Bee looks so cute! It was so good at first I thought one of the Webkinz artist designed it :)
Thank you very much playnowpuppy! :D
Your welcome jkj1004 I hope u will keep making awesome pictures and maybe more will be fetured on podkinz :)
I plan to! Thank
ADORABLE HONEY BEE!!! They should totally make him as a plushy – too cute!
Dear podkinz, the main reason I come to webkinz news is to see all the new updates! I especially love hearing new podkinz episodes.
Hey! Anyone remember me? This is, @nihao9! I used to post comments on WKN a couple years ago, and stopped for a period of time, but now I’m back! I miss my old WKN friends, @ChicagoMade, @System Of A Down Chick (SOAD Chick), etc. I will always remember all my old WKN friends since they’re not on WW or WKN anymore. -MidnightSky15…A.K.A…nihao9
