I’ve seen that Webkinz is becoming a very popular search on the net. I went online to find out what Webkinz are all about.
Webkinz are small stuffed animals and are similar to other toys but they have special codes that will allow users to access the official site where you enter into a virtual world.
The codes allows you to feed your pet, dress them, meet friends and even earn money. The pets are popular with 7 to 12 year-old kids.
According to MSN news, their is a huge shortage for Webkinz pets as they become more and more popular. Ganz says that over 2 million units have bees sold and over one million registered users on the website.
I took a tour on the site and saw a webkinz basset hound, golden retriever and a webkinz german shepherd puppy among others in the collection catalog section. Their seems to be some concern that the kids who have these pets will spend excessive amounts of time on the net and get addicted to the game.

Lots of people have gone to the net and gone to the extent of petitioning the governor to spare “Congo“, who attacked Giovanni Rivera. For the attack, Giovanii was awarded US$ 250,000 in insurance.

Came across this story from DailyPress.com…A guy by the name of Oscar Allen from Richmond pleaded guilty that he was a cohort & advisor to NFL star Michael Vick in his dogfighting ring.
It also further adds that he pleaded guilty to the charge that was brought up against Michael and his 3 co-defendants; that they conspired to to aid illegal gambling and sponsoring dog fights.
At this day and age i cant understand what fun a grown up gets by watching dogs tear each other up. To be totally honest, when i used to be a kid i love watching cocks fight in our neighbourhood so i might be sounding like a hypocrite here when i say this but you get out of it as you grow up. My opinion is that dog fighting is a brutal and savage sport…

Can you place a price tag on your dog? How much will you be willing to pay to find it should it get lost? Well, a San Antonio woman was willing to part with her customized 91-96 Ford Mustang to anyone who would find her lost bulldog. And she kept her word after her pet, “pork chop”, which disappeared from her front yard was discovered by a gentleman whom she never got his name after he dropped the pet at her house
At first she offered a cash reward of 500 dollars to anyone who would find here pet and after getting no response, she changed tactics and decided to offer up her car. Sure enough, someone called her and told her he had found her dog.
