    Why can’t you see your pet getting a checkup at dr.quacks office?

    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.

    • Bows22 says:

      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

    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.

    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!
