I got the Schnauzer. I like him because it looks like he’s got a little beard.

I named him Professor Kirk after the character in the Chronicles of Narnia.

The Professor came with a Schnauzer Jalopy and I got the exclusive Toadstool Table with him.

Inside the Bonus Gift Box:

The disco ball and 1000kc.

Here’s Professor Kirk in the puppy room.

Elliefun came with a Super Exclusive Gift Box, her Big Top Go-Cart, and the Electric Blue Loa Lamp.

Here’s Elliefun striking a pose and in her Big Top Go-Cart.

Here’s what I got in my Super Exclusive Box.

I picked the Starburst Cloud Bed for my Pegusus.

Here’s the new bed in my Pony room. It goes really well with the rainbow cloud couch and table.

I got some cool things with Honeypaw; a twister in a pot as well as a Bonus Gift.

The Bonus Gift Box had a stone column in it. Not sure what it’s for though.

Here’s a solo shot of Honeypaw, and that is the Lap It Up Pool that came as the Pet Special Item with my Yellow Lab.

I set up a Pirate room for her.

This is my first dog besides the pink poodle, so I set up a large room that I can add more puppies into when I get them.

I created a new account, choosing my country as Japan and adopted my new Black and White Cat into it.

 

Here are the things that came with my cat. Since it was the first pet in a new account I didn’t get the extra gifts I usually do, but I think it’s worth it.

    These are the gifts I got from Webkinz for logging in on Valentine’s Day.

    I named my Love Frog Prince Winky after the frog prince and because mine sort of looked like he was winking.

    Here are the gifts I got with my frog. I got a bonus gift box! In the bonus gift box was a 1,000kinzcash coin.

    Here’s a standalone capture of Prince Winky and one with the heart pond with heart-shaped ripples which also came with him.

    Finally, here’s Prince Winky in the new frog room, including the roses that were part of the Webkinz Valentine’s Day gift.

    Joydancer came with a lovely sleigh and a neon plant!

She arrived today and I just love her. She looks better in person than in the pictures, and is really soft.

    After struggling to choose the perfect name for my pegasus, I decided on Fairyhoof.


    Here’s what I got with her. Her special food is really cute looking, and she came with that cool rainbow couch, but I was a bit disappointed that I got the Rainbow Coffee Table again, as I also got it with my black bear.

    Here are a few different looks at her.


    Here she is sitting on her rainbow couch in her room. I decided to build a bigger room to decorate so that I can get the pink pony and lil kinz unicorn later and put them all in a room together.

I named him Lambert after the classic Disney short cartoon, Lambert the Sheepish Lion. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, watch it here.


    Here’s his bio. Looks like he’s got a testcolour best friend.


    Here’s his Adoption Certificate.


    Now for the fun part, the special gifts that came with him! His special food is the Zebra dog. Even though I can’t stand hot dogs, it’s really cute. I got the rainbow coffee table which I’m really excited about since I just ordered a Pegasus on ebay and she’s supposed to come with a rainbow cloud couch. The King of the Jungle Throne looks amazing!

    And here’s Lambert sitting in his throne, before I decorated the room when it was plain purple. The throne is really cool with animals carved all over.

    Here’s what happened when I went into Bulgybear’s room!

    I got all these surprises just in my pet of the month gift bag!

    I got the flying saucer, 820 kinzcash, trickle treacle and a 40% off coupon for the W-shop.


    And here’s all the usual stuff I got with my black bear. He came with the cutest cave bead and his special food is the honey roast. My exclusive was the Rainy Day Window!

I thought that, if ever, now would be the time since I only have a few webkinz and if I didn’t get a rare one I would at least have a good chance of getting one I didn’t have. It would theoretically be a cheaper way to get a pegasus, and really my only chance for a love puppy.

    It turned out to be really fun. I was so excited when it arrived. It was like getting a present! When I finally got the package today, I found a pink poodle inside! It’s not rare or anything, but it was one I didn’t have and one that I wanted. I’ve been playing around with fantasy/my little pony style name ideas for webkinz lately and have even been developing a name generator.

    I named her Curlypetal


    Here’s what I got with her. I love the pink convertible and the special food looks so cute!


    Here’s Curlypetal in her pink car.

    I named her baby, as in “I can’t give you anything but love, Baby.” As in the amazing screwball comedy starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, Bringing Up Baby.
