EMILY is fixed!
Her mane and tail are back to beautiful black. Unfortunately I can't see her face because she now has the glitch that is affecting what seems like half the Webkinz, including James' beagle, pug, husky, and chocolate Labrador, not to mention my pug, and people online who have leopards and pink ponies. These animals no longer walk, they "skate" across the floor as if they are on a skateboard. Some of them are invisible; when you call on James' beagle Berengaria, for instance, she's not there—but she gives you a big hello word balloon! Some of them wink in and out as they move. Also, they sleep standing up. It's funny to watch a pet standing on a bed with "ZZZZZ" overhead.
Apparently Ganz is aware of the problem...yadda, yadda.
We do have a small victory: the site usually shuts down for maintenance at midnight Eastern time. This has caused bitter complaints from the adults and teens out west, especially in California where the whole shebang shuts down at nine. So maintenance will now be done two hours later.
James has been toying [pun intended] around with the idea of getting his first non-dog Webkinz, a bear. He said he would name it after a Russian airplane (Russian...bear...goes together). Well, we no sooner got it home and were surfing about the website than we found out the November Pet of the Month is supposed to be the bear. So he's going to hold it until then and we'll see what all this "special adoption gift" business is about.
If It's Not One Thing...
