We don't yet know what they're called, but a few moments ago Ganz released these official pictures of the Webkinz Hound Dog's Pet Specific Item and pet Special Food.  This dog certainly appears to be an Elvis fan, with his Blue Suede Shoes and what looks like a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.

Webkinz Insider Members Discover Tie Dyed Puppy Glitch *UPDATE*

Originally Submitted by FIA on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 9:44pm ET.
 
 
Over the past week we have had a number of Webkinz Insider members post pictures of their Tie Dyed Puppy adoptions.  Each one of them received a Tie Dyed Tux Package Box containing a Tie Dyed Tux Top, Pants, and Shoes.  Now, based on the current advertisements running in Webkinz World, it looks like there may have been a glitch with those adoptions.
 
According to the current advertisements, the PSI for the Tie Dyed Puppy is a Tie Dye Tux consisting of a Top, Pants, Shoes, and a Hat.  At this point, we haven't had any reports of members receiving a Tie Dyed Tux Hat.  Many members have plans to contact Ganz in the morning to see about getting their missing items.
 
 
 
 
UPDATE:  (Sept 8, 2010): Recent tweet from @Webkinz: If you have already adopted a Tie Dye Puppy, Please contact CS (Customer Service)  to get a replacement Hat.
Ganz CS Phone number is 1-866-WEB-KINZ (1-866-932-5469)

Stadium Competitors Wonder About Missing Amateur Events

Over the past week we have been getting posts from our members here on Webkinz Insider who are wondering where the Amateur events in the Webkinz Stadium have gone.  Since the big Stadium update early last month, Ganz had been running one Amateur competition per day.  Last week the events suddenly stopped appearing.  The last Amateur competition was held in the Stadium on Thursday, August 19th.
 
Several of our members have contacted Webkinz Customer Support to try to find out what is going on, but at this point, we don't have a clear answer.  Most of the reps our members have spoken with said they would refer this problem to the Tech Department.  As soon as more information is made available, we will bring it to you here.

Mysterious Floating Objects Appear on Webkinz Newz

 
We've had a number of reports come in this morning from members who have spotted floating objects on the Webkinz Newz site.  Players who clicked on the objects each received a message that they'd won a code for a Midnight Magnolia Enchanted Sapling.  However, when they entered the feature codes into the Code Shop they were each awarded a Whirlawisk (unsolved MegaStove recipe) instead.  According to the message, the Midnight Magnolia will be for sale in the Ganz eStore this weekend.  Thank you to Webkinz Insider member chocolatecat67 for this picture from her account.
 
Could Ganz be planning to hold a Midnight Magnolia contest sometime this week?  We'll just have to wait and see.  Don't forget that the Peek-a-Newz contest that was cancelled last week will be returning to the Webkinz Newz site at 4pm today (Wednesday, September 8).
 
UPDATE:  The floating objects are still appearing, but players who click on them are now getting a message that the contest "is no longer running".
