Sniff, Sniff. I watched as our baby boy popped into the world. Now I watched as our big boy goes to his new home. I appreciate the journals and they would make a great book fo us adults. Thank you.

# 70 Angie, that’s funny that your kids think you’re crazy. My daughter says the same about me – she says that I have a ” Panda Disorder” ! ha ha! Darn kids, think they know everything!

My whining comment regarding Robopanda was rejected (sniffle) and I was sent an email that the crew was working on a better way….they FOUND it. As I click into SDZ, I first mute, then hit the ” skip” and off we go as usual. Thank you for helping us to fix that glitch. We realize our wonderful nursery eye costs a lot of $$, and however you can raise it, GO for it! We so appreciate watching lil miss ZZ and would be desolate if we missed one day. Lisa, we are so glad to hear your wonderful reports. It is just like being there. I cannot say enough about your caring attitude to Sheng….I still tear up when I think I won’t see him again. I have tried getting on the Wolong cam, but it is just somehow too impersonal…. I feel like I need field glasses to see the pandas. I started to become a ” professional observer” , but hesitated when they insisted on my email address. Has anyone else done this? Does it give you a closer view of the pandas? I swear if I were driving down the road next to that pasture, and saw all those pandas, I would be in the DITCH!!

#69 – Barbara – I’m with you. I’ve never been to San Diego and I would gladly travel from NC to CA just to see precious Zhen Zhen. My kids think I’m crazy. Panda Cam is advertising for the zoo. Fundraising is a necessity but there should be boundaries. Please no commercials. Raising money this way is a turn off, literally, me turning off my panda cam. Thank god for widgets!

Thank you for the ” skip” button. I haven’t visited the web site as frequently since it the commercial was installed. Panda Cam is what precipitated my visits to the San Diego Zoo. I had never visited before, now we plan entire vacations around visiting the SDZ and seeing the pandas. Ending Panda Cam, or even discouraging people from using it, would be a big mistake, in my opinion.

I will GLADLY put up with anything for the chance to see our pandas. I hope that all who are complaining are doing what they can with donations, etc., to make the need for advertising unnecessary.

I agree that the commercial is most annoying. I hope they made you an offer you just couldn’t refuse, and I am really hoping it is just for the Christmas season? The volume of the thing will really cut down on sneak peaks at the cam at work places. But it won’t keep me from checking on the precious pandas from home–just maybe not quite as often.

What is a little minor inconvenience compared to not being able to view the most precious creatures on earth at all, nothing is cheap any more and I for one would rather have more money available for the research and care of our animals. Speaking of money how about a little something for the Dec wish list.

I understand the benefits/need for a sponsor and have waited while the Robopanda message plays each time I check the Panda Cam (usually 4+ times a day). Tonight I was very happy to see a skip>> bar was added to opt-out of watching the entire message before going to Panda Cam. Thank you so much to SDZ and Wowwee for adding this!!!

I enjoy keeping up with what’s happening to the babies once they are also grown. Thank you for taking the time to keep us updated. It’s very appreciated.
