Webkinz addict

Recently, TS gave me a little stuffed pup. He refutes that this is to make up for the lost stuffed pup, Stanley, but Humphrey entered my world just days after Stanley's escape. Regardless, Humphrey is a webkinz pup by Ganz. What is cool and apparently the biggest adult obsession with toys since beanie babies, is that you can visit your animal online, decorating its room, earning it money, buying food, and I think visiting other webkidz (although, I dont know any others, so I dont have anyone to ask for a park date). I know I sound like a fool, but its kind of addicting . . . I try to check in with Humphrey once a day while I'm at work, and maybe win him a bacon bone or take him for a walk.
Im not really ready for a pup with a pulse, but the stuffed doggie who also lives online has found a place in my fur-fearing heart.
