    Dear Genelle and Mike, I loved your mini show. I really liked to learn more about how Webkinz started, it was fun. I get on every day. The first pet I got was a husky dog. When I get on I have so much fun I lose track on how long I’ve been playing. I love getting new pets. I also love playing in the arcade, and doing chalenges. I just recently found out that I can get on Ganzworld and share comments, but I love it. Seeing other player’s thoughts is fun. Thank you for doing your job and making everything SO MUCH FUN!!

    My favorite moment was when I got my first webkinz, which is a walrus I named Mr.Walter. I have about 30 pets now, but I still play with Mr.Walter the most because he is my first webkinz. I love St. Patrick’s Day because I am part Irish, and because of the Leprechauns!

    My favorite part about St. Patricks Day is getting all the unique prizes and catching the Leprecaun. ♣
