("Psst! Trooper, look over here!")
"Trooper" (webcam images)
(approximate age: 3 years old, April 1, 2006)
("Psst! Trooper, look over here!")
("Whataya want, David? I'm resting!")
("Yawwwwwwn!")
("Okay, okay! I'm gettin' up!")
("Okay, David. What is it?")
("Big news, Trooper! You turn three years old today!")
(Trooper pondering the big news)
(Trooper: "You got me up from a perfectly good nap just to tell me that???")
("But don't you get it, Trooper? It's your birthday! Happy Birthday!")
(Trooper: "Yeah, sure. Whatever, David.")
("Well, since I'm up now, I might as well go back to guard duty. Watching David's fancy Firebird, that is.")
("There it is. No one dares mess with it or the house when guard cat Trooper is on watch!")
(Trooper, hours later. Still keeping an eye on things outside. And on David playing with his computer doohickey, of course!)
