Nibbles’ Realization
Have you ever felt like a total fool? Because if you have, then you know exactly how I am feeling right now. I am so embarrassed I almost can’t even say what happened to me today. I was over at the Arcade to meet Roberta and we were getting a drink from the Arcade cafeteria when I saw Purr-cilla, Penelope and Janice sitting at a table. I was walking over to see them when I noticed that my shoe was untied and I bent down to tie it right next to a big plant near their table. I guess they didn’t see me because I overheard their conversation and I still can’t believe what I heard. Janice was asking if they were going to go swimming later and Purr-cilla said “Yeah, I guess it’s hot enough to put up with Nibbles for an hour or two.” I couldn’t believe it. Penelope actually jumped in and said that she liked hanging out with me, and Janice said yeah, she felt kind of bad about pretending not to be home when I came over the other day. But Purr-cilla told them to get over it – that I was always talking about … Read more
Wait To Transfer Your Jumbleberries!
WAIT!! Too many Jumbleberries are jumbling about and being dropped between Webkinz Friends and Webkinz World! Alyssa has dispatched a team of fairies to go fetch the berries that have been left behind, but each one has to be picked up individually- so she says it’s going to take a little time! To help Alyssa’s clean up effort, don’t transfer ANY berries from Webkinz Friends to Webkinz World until Wednesday August 1st or they may get dropped too! Don’t make any extra work for Alyssa, just hold off on moving over those berries! UPDATE: The issue reported was related to transferring prizes from Webkinz Friends to Webkinz World. The berries you win on Webkinz Newz were not affected. Good news: you won’t have to wait until next year to collect more berries from Webkinz Newz — we’ll be offering them from time to time throughout the year!
A Surprise for Molly
Well, I had just about the worst afternoon. Roberta and Nibbles and I looked all over Kinzville for Millie and there was no sign of her anywhere. Roberta and Nibbles were being so nice and telling me it was going to be okay, but I could tell they were really worried about Millie. Then, as we were walking into my backyard, we heard a voice coming from somewhere above us. We all stopped to listen. It sounded like Millie and it was coming from the tree house! I raced up the tree house ladder and peeked inside and there was Millie, sitting in a circle with her dolls and pouring them each a cup of tea from her toy teapot! I practically screamed “Millie!” at her in relief, and she just looked over as if nothing had happened and said “Oh, hi Molly!” “Where have you been?” I cried, and suddenly she seemed to recall that she was mad at me. Her face twisted into a grimace, she crossed her arms, turned her back on me and stated “This is my new home and you’re not welcome here.” I didn’t care if she was giving me the cold shoulder or … Read more
Molly’s Crisis
This is awful! I can’t believe that Millie actually ran away from home! Just because I tried to make her eat her carrots! I called Roberta and Nibbles and they are on their way over to help me try to find her. I feel sick – I never should have left her alone in her room when she was so upset, but how could I know she would run away? Roberta said that when they get here we are going to split up and go looking in all of Millie’s favorite places. But I’m not sure – maybe someone should stay here just in case Millie decides to come back? What if she never comes back? What will my parents do? No! That’s not going to happen, right? We’re going to find her! Right? Oh, this is just the worst thing that ever happened to me!
A Message from Millie
Oh no, oh no, oh no!!! This is not happening! Today my mother decided to use one of the babysitting coupons that I gave her for Mother’s Day so she could do some shopping and have lunch with Ms. Cowoline at Le Snout. We spent the morning playing checkers and coloring in Millie’s coloring books. It was all going just fine until lunchtime when I told Millie that she couldn’t have any ice cream until she finished her carrot sticks. I don’t know what the problem was because my mother does that all the time and Millie just eats the carrots. But for some reason when I told her to eat them she just folded her arms and said ‘no!’ I said fine and put away the ice cream and next thing I know she was having a full-out tantrum! I dragged her into her room and said she could come out when she calmed down. She stayed in there for a long time so I just read my book in my room. After a while I decided to check in on her and when I walked into the room, she was gone! She … Read more
A Missed Invitation
Hey, it’s Nibbles again. Kind of a weird day today. You know that the other day Molly said that Purr-cilla was just using me for my pool? Well, today I decided to prove her wrong. Molly thinks that the only time Purr-cilla and her friends want to hang out with me is at my pool. So today I decided I would go over and surprise Purr-cilla at her place. And then the strangest thing happened. When I got to Purr-cilla’s there were a couple of bikes in the driveway and I’m pretty sure they were Janice’s and Penelope’s because I remember them from school. Which was great, right? Because I figured the four of us could all hang out together. So I rang the doorbell and I was almost positive that I heard someone walking around inside but then there was no answer at the door. After a minute I rang again, and then I waited and waited but no one came. I guess they must have just left their bikes there and all gone out somewhere, so I gave up and went home, but when I was leaving I thought I saw the curtains in the front window move … Read more
Elwin’s Upcoming Tour
Dear Hailey, I’m just having a quick break from wardrobe fittings. You should see some of the costumes they’ve come up with for me. Persephone was called in to help put some ensembles together and she came up with some really groovy combinations! It’s not exactly my regular style, but Persephone thinks I can pull off these looks. We’ve been getting everything ready to start the big tour. There is this massive bus that the whole crew travels on. There are beds so we can sleep on the road, and a fully stocked kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower so I can shower on the bus! Wild, huh? There will be a gourmet chef traveling with us (I think he started out as a sous-chef at Le Snout) and he asked for a list of my favorite dishes to make during the tour. Wow! This is a far cry from our little studio in Kinzville, huh? But just between you and me, I am kind of missing the grind. Hey, any luck with those interviews? I want to hear all about it! Catch ya later, Hail! El
A Warning from Molly
Ugh! It’s Nibbles here. Sometimes people can be so petty. I think Molly is jealous that I have been spending time with Purr-cilla and her friends because you would not believe what she said to me today! Molly came over to my house and said she needed to talk to me. Then she said that she thought that Purr-cilla and Penelope and Janice were just using me for my pool! Wow, Molly! Jealous much? She said that she sees Purr-cilla and Penelope and Janice shopping at the KinzStyle Outlet or having coffee at Le Snout, and she asked why, if they were real friends, did they only want to spend time with me at my pool? Well, clearly they know that I have other friends like Molly and Roberta, and that those other friends aren’t necessarily as open and friendly as me, so they are just giving me space to hang with my other friends, right? I’m sure they would love for me to come out with them for their shopping trips, but then my other friends would be jealous. And the proof is in the pudding because isn’t Molly just proving me right with her crazy accusations? I told … Read more
An Unexpected Visit
Hey, it’s Nibbles again. I think I might have offended some of my friends and I feel kind of bad about it, but it wasn’t really my fault. I was supposed to meet Sparky and Roberta at the Arcade after lunch, but just as I was leaving, Purr-cilla showed up in her bathing suit. She wanted to go for a swim with me in my family’s new pool. I didn’t want to be rude and turn her down because I did tell her the other day that they would be welcome any time, so I figured I could just go for a quick dip with Purr-cilla and then meet my friends. The only thing is – I kind of lost track of time! I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but Purr-cilla was just being so nice to me. She kept telling me how much she liked my bathing suit and she was hanging on my every word. I guess I was just feeling flattered by all the attention. Long story short, I missed Sparky and Roberta and when I finally tracked Sparky down at the Curio Shop he said Roberta was really upset that I didn’t show. Oh no! … Read more

Nibbles’ Family Takes the Plunge
Okay, I don’t want to be a disloyal sister or anything, because Plumpy is the best sister ever, but can I tell you something really cool that happened since Plumpy got married and went away and my parents came home? My mom and dad decided to get a pool! A POOL! Can you believe that? That wouldn’t have happened if Plumpy were still in charge! It is so nice having my very own swimming pool in my backyard! It’s been a really hot summer here and, as long as my mom or dad is around, I can just dive in any time I want to cool off. I’ve been having such a good time. Then something kind of interesting happened the other day. I was hanging out in the pool, when my mom said some friends were at the front door. I went through and there were Purr-Cilla, Penelope and Janice. Weird, huh? They came to ask me if I wanted to hang out. I told them sure, but I would have to change out of my swimsuit, but they said that hey, they happened to have their swimsuits with them so why didn’t we all have a swim in … Read more

Stoogles’ Check-Up
Stoogles here, feeling kind of sorry for myself. I don’t know if you heard the bad news, but I fell off my trampoline and broke my flipper! Can you believe that? I mean, if I broke my flipper during the school year, well, that wouldn’t be the end of the world, right? But on summer vacation? What a drag! Anyway, I just got back from a check-up with Dr. Quack and he said that my break is healing nicely, but that I have to continue to take it easy. Do you know what ‘taking it easy’ means? It means more hanging out with my grandpa while the rest of my family has lots of awesome summer fun. So long, amusement park. Hello, cold noodles and naps. At least my friends have been visiting me. Molly and Nibbles came over the other day with cupcakes for me and Sparky lent me his new video game. I guess that kind of makes up for the fact that I am stuck here with nothing to do. Hmmm… maybe I should call Roberta and play up the pain a bit. After all she hasn’t brought me anything yet and she is an awesome baker. … Read more
