What does everyone think of the December webkinz? I really want that brown cow!!!

I have a thing for otters, so imagine my immediate heart-oumoing love towards this little guy as soon as I saw his picture!!!

I also love cows, real ones, my husband gets a kick out of me because I squeel when I see them. He has family in Kansas who are ranchers, his uncles say they never met anyone who loves cows like I do; they love to take me out into the fields with the cows and watch me!!! That said, this brown cow is so adorable......I may have to start "breeding" my own Web-cows now.

I confess my addiction did not start until I found and joined WI!! ... I blame all of you here for how deep my obsession runs!! You are all enablers!!







.... I did not need too much encouragement. All it took was one day of trading and I was a gonner! hook, line and sinker!!


My daughter got her first pet in September '07, I found WI in March '08 and here I am a dozen accounts and 100+ adoptions later ....

I got hooked on webbies from my kids, and love the hobby. Love the kind people I've meet here on wi. Lately, have felt the need to seek balance w/ time on ww. But It's a great stress reliever.

i am a 39 year old dad with 2 kids and I just enjoy the games and fun of helping them get the items they want.

Balance.... I think we all have to figure that out... it can be difficult and obsessive at times.... I go through times where I don't go on WI or WW for days when I get burnt out.

ZzuZzu.....You are right there with the rest of us. When I started helping my grandson we just had 1 American account with less than 10 pets. Now we have 2 American accounts with about 160 pets, 2 Asian accounts with about 50 pets and 1 European account with 1 pet. It is great having the Asian accounts since they have different rare items offered in the curio shop. And of course, as you mentioned you also get to the special items such as fall leaves sooner. There are definite advantages to having numerous accounts in the different time zones. If there is a rare item in the curio shop then you can buy 1 rare in each of your accounts. And then we ship the rare and pet items from Asia and Europe accounts into our 2 main American accounts.

You all are nice. I went and got some items they had and add them sent them to my account. Oops does that make me a bad dad or a webkinz addict. LOL

Just a webkinz addict... I too have "borrowed" items from my kids...ones they don't use. ... they don't even miss them.
