Hey Webkinz fans! Today I’m lucky enough to sit down with a new friend of mine – the Caterpillar, March’s Pet of the Month!

EM: Good to see you here today, Caterpillar!

C: Good to see you too, Ella. My, it’s a beautiful day outside, isn’t it?

EM: It’s a little chilly, but otherwise – yeah!

C: I like the cold. But I like the warm weather, too. Oh, and hot weather is also great. Don’t forget rain, sun, snow…and even the occasional drizzle.

EM: You seem to like a lot of things, Caterpillar.

C: That’s because the world is wonderful – do you ever think about that, Ella? How wonderful everything is? I think about that all the time.

EM: Well, that’s pretty obvious, based on your video.

C: Ah, the video. “It’s a Wonderful World”. That’s exactly how I feel.

EM: Where does all that positivity come from, Caterpillar?

C: Well, I figure it’s like this: you can go through life feeling down about things or you can live life with an open mind, a big heart, and a positive attitude.

EM: Don’t you ever feel sad?

C: Of course – everyone does. Being positive doesn’t mean not feeling sad or mad, but it does mean looking at life with a smile on your face, and hope in your heart.

EM: You’re a very philosophical Caterpillar, you know?

C: You’re not the first to say that, and I doubt you’ll be the last.

EM: Well, readers, get ready: March is going to be a great month with the Caterpillar around!
