They are pretty little devils. Wish they would get adopted. Black cats are tough to place, and if the potential adopter viewed all their zootoo videos, he/she might reconsider taking one of these fiesty felines.

I know these wars in Iraq and Afganistan have been going on a while and people have kind of put it on the back burners of their minds, but our kids, husbands, wives, brothers and sisters are over their still risking their lives daily. We must not forget them. I want them ALL to come home safe. We love David very much and are so proud of him!

Hey, Deb! Congrats on your candy theft video! lol I have to say the kitties certainly try to look sweet and innocent!

As for my tribute to Pvt. David Baird, I just responded to Robin's email last night. I was waiting to get some information from Alice and we just spoke last night as she had not been on zootoo all day.

Anyway, some interesting tidbits zootooers may want to know:

David always wanted to be a soldier. Alice said from the time he was 2 years old, he played with GI Joe toys. All of his life he was playing GI Joe. She said he is a career soldier.

David has been away from home for over a year. He is currently in Fort Drum in Jefferson County, New York. He will be going home for 2 weeks for Christmas but, will be deployed to Afghanistan on January 7th, his 23 birthday.

I almost wish that this webisode only featured the tribute to veterans. Seems so trivial to talk about jellybean theft and deployment in almost the same breath. Or to have lead with the feature on veterans as the showpiece and ended with the jellybeans? Hey, I just provide material. I don't make these inclusion/editorial decisions.

Congrats, Deb! As for my tribute to David, I received an email from Robin on Wednesday and was trying to get information to send to her. I finally spoke with Alice last night and responded to Robin's email just after that.

I did not realize her Pick of the Litter deadline would be before today. SO, to see the information I forwarded to her please read my original comment on this news segment! God Bless our troops!

Rose, I could not believe it when I read your message. Robin had emailed me on Wednesday and I had been trying to get a hold of Alice.

Alice and I finally spoke last night and I got all kinds of info from her and responded to Robin's email afterward. I guess I missed the deadline for the Pick of the Litter email response.

If you read my original comment to this news story, you will see the information I forwarded to Robin...Too bad it's not in the video.

So this is why Robin W. made a comment under my comment responding to Michele's comment wondering when the webisode would change instead of seeming like the movie,"Ground Hog Day". Whatcha got to say for yourself MZ?
Or maybe this is what Gavin was alluding to about some video feature/contest that would be right up my cat alley?
