Why can’t you see your pet getting a checkup at dr.quacks office?
i know i mean you are the owner and you should be there for them
Maybe so they don’t have to do much animating. But they did some animating when Dr. Quack is talking so IDK! @-@
Awesome! My favourite Webkinz memory would probably would be when I got my White Terrier, Bows. I never got her PSI but I didn’t seem to care. I have 36 Webkinz and each share a special memory.
Also my SPREE! Items only show 2 out of 8 pages although I don’t know why. Bows’ PSI showed that I got the item, but it never appeared in my dock :( Sorry to complain
Can’t use ANY of the updates!!
Great podcast (like usual) today, Gennelle and Mike :) Keep it up! The little goats sound so adorable!!
My favorite Webkinz Memory would have to be buying my first pet, which was Koda the Black Bear way back in December 2005! I used some of my Christmas money to buy him. I adopted him and never looked back. I’ve played Webkinz steadily ever since. Another great memory would be joining a webkinz forum and meeting my best friend. We still play everyday! As for the new Wshop, I like it! The only thing I wish is that it would be updated more regularly so it includes all the new pets and items that are offered on the full website. As for pet ideas, I’d LOVE to see a Jelly Fish! Keep up the good work Ganz! -BlairWebkinz
I don’t really have a favorite memory– but I sure will remember Webkinz when I grow up. I’ve spent hundreds of hours, maybe more, playing on Webkinz. It gives me something to look forward to each day and makes me happy. And a pet I would like to see is an Octopus or Squid. Those would be AMAZING sellers, knowing many people would get the Squid and name it Squidward, right? And the Octopus is another thought.
My favorite Webkinz Memory is how i got my first pet on my birthday when i was 4. Now i am 11. The pet i got for my b-day was a Webkinz Beagle which i named chocolate and my username is blueskymary if you want to be my friend :)
what are your jobs exactly?
I’m a Webkinz writer and Mike is a Webkinz Content Coordinator.
Does that mean you’ve written some of the W Tales in the virtual Newspaper on Webkinz? I really want to be an author when I grow up.
the w shop wont work for me
go and clear your cache and it will. Thats what I did.
the same with me i need help i want to check out the new store sooooo bad.
Favourite webkinz memory would have to be on webkinznewz making so many friends. If any of them happen to be reading this comment, your friendship means the world to me, I am glad to call you my friends. -Snow
Sorry – don’t mean to rain on your parade, but I do not like that the e-store items are mixed in with w-shop items. There is a big difference between things that you buy with real money versus virtual game money and I like when they are separate. Guess I feel like Grumpy Cat lately when it comes to Webkinz (whatever) – I have a hard time thinking of the things I really like and instead think of the things that make me mad/complain. Maybe time for me to take a break? The one thing I really do enjoy are my daily parties with my friends in the evenings. But even that is getting hard with the bad lag and kinz chat plus limitations. But I really appreciate your trying to keep Webkinz fresh and the enthusiasm you show for your work. Keep it up!
I agree. I’ve been getting the estore items confused with the regular items. So annoying!!!! Another thing… I can’t stand the fact that all the awesome pets are all estore!!! Like seriously? I’m so sick of it! The plush webkinz are always more fun to play with. Make more awesome plush! please!!!! ~*stardreamz*~
I agree with the estore items mixed in with the wshop it’s confusing. Great metaphor with grumpy cat i feel the same. You say the wshop is easier to find the stuff you want? WE ALL MISS THE OLD WSHOP!!
I agree!
Agreed!
Totally it is bad
Agreed!
agreed
Here here! Kinzcash and e-point (or whatever they’re called) should not collide in the same shop! And personally, I don’t even buy the virtual pets…the plush version is what REALLY brings them to life. ~klafroth
