Growing Pains

THE first Webkinz "Pet of the Month" debuted today.

Let's say there were glitches. :-) About half the people that registered a frog this morning didn't get their "Pet of the Month" goodies.

I'm a little less enthusiastic about adopting a POTM now because it has been revealed that you don't get to pick your exclusive item; it's just assigned like a special adoption gift. I really want that snow machine for my winter park (and the crystalline pond would look cool in my fantasy forest; the star machine wouldn't be bad, either). Eh! reaction to "Donut Plant," unicycle, lurking pond, and moving picture. James wants the outer space window for his science room.

However, I did buy a pig due to the rumor of it being POTM for December. It really looks more like a Muppet pig, one of the ones from "Pigs in Space," especially the eyes.

Someone on Webkinz Insider reports finding the brown Arabian horse, which isn't officially released yet (the newest pet is the German Shepherd; the virtual pet comes with its own police car <g>) and its code won't work. The other official pet release right now is a Lil Kinz Basset Hound.
