Wowzer Weekend Spook-tacular!
It’s no coincidence that spooky items and pets have arrived just in time for Halloween!! The Dire Wolf, one spooky haunted hound, is on the prowl for one thing and one thing only – a friend! How about a portrait of some familiar faces with an unfamiliar twist? The haunted Spooky Skeleton Sketch will give your guests an unexpected scare. Be careful though… there might be a monster in the closet. Some say that it’s better just to leave the monster well enough alone. But you’re not too scared to open the Creature Closet door…are you? The NEW Sweet Zum this week is Zorbo! Zorbo really likes to play sports and help teammates improve their skills! Pets who value fair play and exercise will get along well with Zorbo. Zorbo will be available from 12:01am October 2, 2010 to 11:59pm October 8, 2010 EST.

Feedback Friday: What vacations would you add to the Travel Agency?
Welcome to Feedback Friday, where we ask a question and look to our wonderful Webkinz members for answers that we will use to make Webkinz World better. This is your chance to influence the way that Webkinz World evolves! A few weeks ago, we asked you, our creative users, what exactly you would like to talk about during Feedback Friday. A number of users replied there just aren’t enough places to go in the Webkinz World Travel Agency. The people here at Webkinz agree with you, and we are working hard to bring more and more fun places for your pets to take vacations. However, we would also like to open up our comments page this week, and ask you where you would like to send your pets on vacation. This week’s question is… What vacations would you add to the Travel Agency? Would you add an underwater adventure? Or would you like to send your pets on a ski vacation at a Winter chalet? Whatever your vacation ideas are, we’d like to hear from you! Give us some feedback by commenting now! http://www.webkinznewz.comx/wp-mu/2010/07/feedback-frida…oad-trip-event/
