I want to listen but I can’t I don’t have headphones :( :(
i can listin to it with out heardphones that is werid
Why is that weird? All you need is speakers. :P
It might be that they don’t have a computer with speakers installed and heard it without any, like if I was to use our desktop. But I usually am listening to it on my laptop (: -snow (: :P ): :lol: :mrgreen: :evil: :cry: :?: :!: :cool:
:) :(
LOL that’s right! xD
Can you please put in a delete room button? :)
PLEASE!!! And pets!
A DELETE A PETS BUTTON. PLEASE TELL ME YOU DID NOT MEAN DELETE A PETS BUTTON
yes, please do not say DELETE PETS. THAT WOULD BE COMPLETLY INSANE!!!!!!! I would rather keep my pets
I really wish that you would let us know when an exclusive item(s) is going to be retired; it’s very inconsiderate of you to just retire the item(s) without letting us know :( or else it would be nice if after we got a certain number of wish tokens (like 55 or something) we could get one of the exclusive items that have been retired. ;)
a bunch of my items are missing and clear cache didnt work ww is having issues
hey karl I would love it if you could make another dog with the mocha pup’s body. Im sorry but I love that dog so much
Miss birdy creeped me out (if i don’t use correct grammer it’;s because I has a test today on it.)
maybe freaked me out i don’t know i’m picky about grammar too PS dont u mean i have a test
had is what I meant. Lol
I loved Ms Birdie at the start. Can’t wait for Webkinz day.
it just was like, “oh normal podkinz episode” *miss birdy voice* like I was not expecting it.
I liked Miss Birdie too! But I got startled at first :)
This is the best Podkinz episode so far. I love listening to the Ganz staff because they listen to our comments and suggestions! And it’s funny whenever you see Mike, Gennelle, or Matt in Webkinz World. (I usually see Mike though haha) Everyone in the Kinzville Park will gather around like they’re celebrities and ask tons of questions. And they have some great answers too! Hope to see more staff in the park sometime because I enjoy talking with them– I think everyone else does too!!
The Kinzville park is fun times. Sometimes we go on our undercover accounts just so we don’t get mobbed. Haha.
Hehe, it’s fun to hang out with everyone at the Park! :)
lol
If i had to pick a favorite, it would be the misty puppy, because it’s a special puppy. It’s also my only webkinz puppy! PS: Since Karl’s favorite pet is a St Bernard, why not start up the signatures again for webkinz day and make a signature st bernard and give it to Karl? (hint, hint.)~Atticted2SignaturesAndMistyPuppies
What did Karl mean when he said that they are working on a new thing in your room where you can move and remove doors?
I don’t know what that is but it sound awesome! :D
They we’re working on a new thing in the room that lets you move and remove doors. :P
Thats going to be SO cool!!!
I was just wondering if you’ll be able to change the look of your doors?
OMG!! Can’t wait!
WOW! That’s just what I wanted! I hope you finish it soon. Thanks Matt! :D :D :D
YEAH!! I so want to take out doors. The only other cool thing would to move the rooms.
I like your idea,ajj0403! It would be cool to change door looks like you can to phones and docks. If you salute us,comment below. :)
Thank you Melody_Dixon! :D :)
Any time! Friend me,I’m thejesusband
Yes…I agree! Please let us be able to move rooms around!!! :)
Yes and also be able to delete rooms! Just an idea! :)
yay!! thanks!!
I have no idea, but it sound awesome!!! :) :) :) :) :)
I have a question: Is the doors for Webkinz or Webkinz Friends? I don’t really know if Friends really has any doors cause I’m not on it. xD :-)
I totally agree with the thing about one person in the school having one causing everyone to have one. When I was younger, one kid brought in their Webkinz pet for show-and-tell. About a week later, I saw a sign in a store that we were walking past that said “Webkinz sold here.” I asked if we could get one, and my sister and I got our first pets.
question on the home page, who is that fairy in the backround with the pink and purple hair? is she a new fairy or something? please answer me!
Wow, I was just going to ask that too! It looks like Nafaria with different hair to me.
Ooh, quick update! I just saw an ad for wigs for your pet in the estore. Maybe it’s Nafaria promoting that?
i think its Wanda the bad fairy buddy you’re talking about. also the w shop wont work and ganz world keeps logging me out even when i choose stay logged in
ps please change the member of the day daily its been the same person forever i cant remember when it wasn’t them also the fluffington cookie wont show up in my dock
ys thank u! same thing happens to me! its Puf with cupcake ALWAYS!!
I think it’s Nafaria’s sis. Also yay they asked my question!!! :D
i think it’s Nafaria but I don’t know that for sure. :)
i guess
ganz, I have a question. I could not log in to webkinz yesterday, and today I could but over 500 hundred items in my dock disappeared! I don’t know if anybody logged into my account, or if its a glitch. I changed my password anyway. please explain what might have happened! :(
Just try clearing your cache! Other Webkinz players were having this problem but clearing your cache fixes it. Have fun!
thank you for answering my question, Gennelle Webkinz. ill try that next time! p.s- I logged in today and everything was back! :)
what does that mean and ho do you do it ? i had the problem since yesterday and i lost some of my most favorite items.):
Thanks a lot! now i have ALL my items. :D
Thank you @qwedsa999 I was wondering if I was the only one with this problem. But I had 1754 items in my dock, and it dropped down to 300. I just changed browsers to Safari and the items appeared.
i i have 300 too! i lost a lot of my favorite items.
click the small button- Restore my stuff -or something like that it is blue with a small box on one side
Mike and Gennelle, My first webkinz was the little white terrier. My favorite webkinz that i have are the Dreamy Sheep, little white terrier, lamb, bunny, golden retriever, and GOOGLES! Please put the shop on webkinz mobile. When was the first webkinz adopted? I have 38 webkinz! Me and my sister share an acount. Webkinz, i posted a forum about trading, and it is not there! God bless you! AJSF2005
Mike_Webkinz and Gennelle_Webkinz, I logged on today and noticed that the items in my dock are rearranged. They’re all there, but in a different order. It’s been harder to find things. Is there a pattern to how the items are arranged now? Please respond!
Yes, they’re now in alphabetical order!
Thank you!
