Webkinz Iditarod 3/5/13 Mushers of the Day: Shylock and Felicity Fox

by Midnight Bewhiskered

My Mushers of the Day today are Shylock and Felicity, the foxes.

 

Shylock and Felicity are friends, planning to get married one day, and decided to try out the Iditarod together. Fortunately, they have been doing pretty good so far. Shylock's dogs, - er...cats, - Sneaker and Zany, are brothers. Sneaker is married to Zahra, who is on Ella's team. Felicity's dog Raleigh is married to Sophia and has three children, Buddy, Bon Bon, and Giggles. The Snowy Leopard's name is currently unknown throughout Kinzville, it is one of the pets Darling Daughter's aunt left at her house. Felicity won first place in her very first FashionPetz show in January of this year. (That's how she got those lovely silver earrings.)

Webkinz Iditarod 3/5/13 Musher of the Day: Sylvia Bewhiskered

by Chiporry the Cardinal

Today's Musher of the Day: Sylvia Bewhiskered the Webkinz Silversoft Cat with dogs Choco and Clancy.

Sylvia is a beautiful silversoft cat and has competed in FashionPetz runway shows since August 2011. She won 1st place in the FashionPetz Grand Finale of 2011. She is the oldest daughter of Choco, one of her dogs, and Sardina, one of the other mushers. Her other dog, Clancy, is her sister Ashley's husband. Sylvia is also a professional ice skater and can dance quite well. She is married to Wolfric, one of the dogs on her mom Sardina's team. She is a rookie musher but loves participating in the Iditarod so far because she adores snow. She thinks it is too bad that snow only comes in one season per year. When it does come, she's all over it. :)

Webkinz Iditarod 2013: Checkpoint: Easter Factory Update, Cozy Checkpoint

by Midnight Bewhiskered

Midnight Bewhiskered here with the latest updates and stories on our Iditarod checkpoints!

Late at night, just as Felicity and Vesuvius were buckling up their harnesses after their 3-hour rest at the Easter Factory, some of the other teams started to show up: Shylock's, Cobbler's (who was hosting Car Kitty's Mother), and Ella's. They didn't stay for long, though.

Early in the morning, about 3:04, Daddoo's team ended their 8-hour rest and were back on the trail.

At dawn, Sardina and Sylvia reached the Cozy Checkpoint. They decided to take 3-hour rests there.

About two hours later, the others got there. They all got some nice food while Sardina and Sylvia's teams were sound asleep.

Not long after that, everyone got back on the trail, and are well on their way to the next checkpoint, the Music Lounge, where most of the pets say they will take their 8-hour rest. Daddoo recently made it to the Cozy Checkpoint and is planning to stay for about half an hour to let the dogs rest and eat.

Everyone seems to be okay, except for Zany, who has a deep cut in his paw, apparently he stepped on something sharp on the trail. Zany's paw was well bandaged, but he is limping a bit. Even so, the team he is on is in the front.

Webkinz Iditarod 3/4/13 Musher of the Day: Sardina Bewhiskered

by Midnight Bewhiskered

My Musher of the Day for March 4 2013: One of my favorites, Sardina Bewhiskered, and her dogs, Buddy and Wolfric.

Sardina is the matriarch of the Bewhiskered family, married to Choco Bewhiskered (the best doctor in Kinzville), who is one of the dogs for her oldest daughter Sylvia's team. Besides Sylvia, she has four other daughters: Ashley, Sophia, Cotton Candy, and Berry. She has three granddaughters: Ashley's daughter Maddie, and Sophia's twins Bon Bon and Giggles. She also has one grandson (also from Sophia), who just happens to be Buddy, one of her sled dogs. Buddy is married to Jasmine. Her other dog, Wolfric, is married to Sylvia. (Where's the "too much information" emoticon?) :) Sardina also won 1st place in the Iditarod in 2011, and 1st place in the August 6 and 7 Gymnastics Competition. Sardina is a cat of many talents!

Webkinz Iditarod 2013: Checkpoint: Easter Factory

by Midnight Bewhiskered

     Well, things are busy, busy, busy at the Easter Factory checkpoint! This is where the Easter Bunnies meet and prepare eggs to hide every year for about a month before Easter. I've been waiting here for a long time, and finally, from my high spot up on the boxes, I see the mushers appear.

     And when they do appear, it's all at one time! Felicity leads the group, then Daddoo, then Sylvia, then  Vesuvius...

     Eventually, five teams have gotten there, plus Car Kitty's Mother's dogs. Vesuvius' and Felicity's teams are staying for three hours, and Daddoo's team for eight.

 Sardina and her oldest daughter Sylvia both set their teams out after just a little rest and some food.

Peeking around the corner, I can see the other teams in the distance. Car Kitty's Mother has switched from Shylock's sled to Cobbler's. Cobbler is keeping her nice and warm.

Webkinz Iditarod 3/4/13 Musher of the Day: Vesuvius Bedazzled

by Chiporry the Cardinal

Today's Musher of the Day for March 4 2013, one of my personal favorites:

Vesuvius Bedazzled the Webkinz Lava Dragon with his dogs, Daisy and Pasqually.

Vesuvius is the patriarch of the Bedazzled family, married to Sprite, and was Darling Daughter's mom's very first Webkinz. He has one very young son named Humphrey. Sprite and Humphrey enjoy cheering Vesuvius on in the race. Like Daddoo, Vesuvius also competed in the first Iditarod in 2011. His dogs, Pasqually and Daisy, are engaged and will be married this spring. Daisy signed up for FashionPetz runway shows in January.

Webkinz Iditarod 2013: On The Trail Again!

by Chiporry the Cardinal

     So much has happened in the 2013 Webkinz Iditarod so far, and really, it's only just begun!



     Shylock left Deep Forest Lodge at 10:12 AM, his 3-hour rest complete. Shortly after, at 10:25 and 10:27, the two other teams, Ella's and Cobbler's, were on the trail. Zahra is limping a bit, so Ella's team isn't going as fast, and Cobbler is gaining some distance on her.

     As you might expect, trouble has arisen up at the front. Car Kitty's Mother had the same malfunction as did Ella earlier on in the race, in which the harness became detached and the dogs ran on without the musher. Sylvia's dogs, at one point, almost pulled her off her own sled!

     By the time Sylvia had gotten her sled fixed, the others were already ahead of her, including Car Kitty's Mother's runaway dogs, which caught Sardina's eye as she zoomed past. She pulled over to investigate.

     Sardina saw Sylvia coming and motioned to her to come look as well. They agreed to each carry one of the dogs on to the checkpoint. As for Car Kitty's Mother, she wasn't their problem, and it wouldn't be fair to go back just to get her. I decided to help. I flew back to Shylock, three hours behind everyone else, and told him about Car Kitty's Mother. He agreed to take her to the checkpoint once he found her. As for Car Kitty's Mother herself, she'll just have to wait. As she says, she's quite fed up with her dogs' harnesses. She will now be three hours behind everyone else, but she says she would rather keep going than be the only one not to finish the race.

      In terms of the others up in front, they're still neck-in-neck and getting quite close to the next checkpoint. Felicity is in the lead, then Daddoo, then Vesuvius, then Sylvia and Sardina side by side in the back. And, of course, the others back behind that took their 3-hour rests. And Car Kitty's Mother.
