"Whoa Merthyn! What happened? You look like a lobster!"
"Arte, you won't believe me."
"Try me Merthyn."
"This is what happened. I woke up this morning and started my gardening. The weeds had really taken over so I had to do a lot of raking. My corn was ready to harvest and I had a great crop from it. This took me most of the morning, cause you remember how I grow vegetables for Chef, right?"
" I remember. I had the leftovers for lunch today and they were just as good, if not better,than they were the first time."
"So anyways, I was hot from all that and thought I would enjoy a dip in my pool. Man I wish that it would fit more than one person. I really want to invite my friends over for a pool party, but it's kind of boring when only 1 can be in it at a time. The water felt like ice at first, but it was so refreshing. Well, you know that there is no sunscreen or sun umbrellas so needless to say, I got a sunburn really bad."
"Merthyn, my friend, you need to see Dr. Quack. He should be able to fix you up right away. Here's you list and go see him NOW!"
"Thanks, Arte."
Man, it’s been so hot in Webkinz World lately! I wish Tabby would let me paint fences inside, but she’s afraid I’ll spill paint all over the carpet in the employment office. I never spill paint! Well, hardly ever.
Anyway, I’ve turned in my last fence for the day. (Where do all those fences go, anyway? I keep looking for them around Webkinz World. I tried asking Tabby, but she says her clients are confidential.)
On the way to the curio shop, I stop at Mrs. Birdy’s garden. She’s out watering the plants.
"Hey, Mrs. Birdy, I like your floppy sun hat and funky girl glasses!"
She beams at me. "Oh, thank you, Merthyn. Dr. Quack says I shouldn’t get too much sun, since I am a penguin, after all."
"Anything ready to harvest?" I ask hopefully. "It’s been a long time since lunch."
She sighs and shakes her head. "No, it just all needs to be watered. Merthyn, will you ask Arte to see if he can get in some sprinklers? I love my garden, but all this watering is a bit boring."
"I’ll ask him, Mrs. Birdy. You know, those carrots look ready to harvest to me."
She doesn’t seem to have heard me. "And if he can’t get a sprinkler, could he at least get some pretty watering cans? Maybe in pink?"
"Ok," I say. "Give me a call tomorrow if you need any help raking."
"Thanks, Merthyn, you’re such a dear."
Wow, there sure are a lot of different Webkinz. And, as you must surely suspect, GANZ has several new ones in the works as we speak. But did you ever wonder why certain animals are chosen to be made into Webkinz, and others not? Some of the reasons might surprise you. Following are a few examples of animals that have been considered, but ultimately rejected, for "the plush treatment."
Chinchilla Why it Would be Cool: This South American rodent has the softest fur of any animal and, despite appearing to be a Frankenstein mishmash of rabbit, mouse and squirrel, is not at all creepy. Why It Ain't Gonna Happen: "Uh, what's a chinchilla?" And also, on second thought, it is kinda creepy.
Rattlesnake Why it Would be Cool: Rattlesnakes have rattles in their tails. That's right, people -- they come with built-in toys! They are therefore, by default, the coolest animal ever. Why it Ain't Gonna Happen: Rattlesnakes have no feet. Hence, they can wear no shoes. They would have to be allocated their own special "Dress Your Pet" screen, which apparently violates some policy GANZ has about favoritism. Not that you'd think giving a break to the guy with no feet would be a bad thing, but whatever.
Parrot Why it Would be Cool: This delightful tropical bird has vibrant colors and would look adorable dressed up in a little pirate outfit. Why it Ain't Gonna Happen: A natural and irrepressible mimic, the parrot would quickly pick up on all those naughty words you say when you lose at Goober's Lab. It would teach them to the other Webkinz. And then, faster than you can say "Atomicolicious," Webkinz World has turned into South Park with fur. You don't want that to happen, do you?
"Wingardium, Leviosa, Wingardium Leviosa!" I'm standing in the vacant lot next to the Curio Shop, waving my new Unicorn Hair wand at a large boulder.
"I don't think you're waving it right. Isn't it swish and flick?" I look back over my shoulder at Fia who is sitting on a picnic table, munching on Grilled Carrot & Asparagus Sandwich. "Why does Arte want you to move this thing anyway?"
"He says he's going to be using this area for extra storage and he wants me to make sure it's clear." I sigh, "What are you doing over there? I thought you said you were going to help me get this wand to work!"
"Woah, I never said I was going to get the wand to work. I just promised that i would help you get it put together. Actually getting it to do something is your problem." I hear hoofbeats on the grass as Fia's Unicorn Fluffy trots by with Nanners on her back.
