Titus hits the big time!

titus made it onto breakfast television ! ross took him in to the Today show, and he was a little trouper(pleo), purring and generally being pleo-like. the female host was quite enamoured! it was live tv, and the slot was supposed to be 7.20 am. That came and went, and i was thinking that they'd dropped him, or the batteries died, or something awful. They just had a busy show, so Ross was bumped to 8.15 am . I thought Leda would get excited seeing Titus and her dad on tv, but she was totally disinterested. apparently later in the show the male host held pleo up by the tail, and the switchboard was flooded with complaints! ross has written his thoughts as a futurist about it on his blog; http://rossdawsonblog.com/weblog/archives/2008/03/live_on_today_s.html

GO Titus!!! he made it on T.V!! to bad he seemed sort of tired, but he hung in there quite well!! would have been cool if he started walking around!!

his battery hasnt been so good lately- i was just happy he was being his affectionate self- i certainly would have felt safer with a back up battery!
i agree about the walking around, but he wont move when he's being patted- too happy where he is :)
