A quick downtime around Midnight last night gave us some good news and bad when the system came back up. The Cat Theme is now gone from the Wshop.  You may remember that we had some warning about this earlier last week, but we didn't know what day it would happen.

Also, it is now time to say goodbye to some new and old friends: It is the retirement of the Samoyed, Tiger Snake, Leopard Lizard, Black and White Cheeky Dog, the Rhino, and the Webkinz Elephant (June Pet of the Month). That makes this month all the more special for those adoptions.

Now, onto the good news, we now have 2 new Superbed options: the Apple Pie and the Artist's Pallet.
We also have a new game called Get Eleven Solitaire.

Maybe Ganz is trying to do something similar to that. Reply | Quote 0   0 alt1981black  - Hmmm, Love The Beds!!   |68.248.12.xxx |2008-06-11 01:03:40 I love the new beds! I love the Apple Pie bed the best, it would look nice in a country-themed room. I have several of the newly retired pets, too, so I'm happy I got those before they were retired! Put some pineapple lamps in the room with the Apple Pie beds, I'm thinking. That'd be cute! Reply | Quote 0   0 Kinzmomma  - Why retire?   |24.18.145.xxx |2008-06-11 01:14:19 :? I don't understand why virtual items are retired. I can understand the plush being retired, because they only manufacture a certain number of them, but why not leave the virtual items in the w store? It will be interesting to see if the cat theme ends up in the curio shop. Reply | Quote 0   0 Vertalus  - ugh   |64.222.183.xxx |2008-06-11 01:25:03 nice beds but wht are they retireing the new pets?
