Reply to this message Hi! We are new to the webcam world on the internet. We were searching through webcams and found yours. What a coincidence, we have a dog named Elmo too! He's a Yorkshire Terrier and he is 11 years old. Your Elmo is absolutely adorable.

Reply to this message Welcome, family! Maybe you can upload a pic of YOUR Elmo using the thingy on the front page.

Reply to this message ;) I saw Hershey and Elmo!! They both looked right into the camera as though they could see me. I wanted to reach out and pet them! Merry Christmas!!
kittynurse 12/7/2007 10:22:04 AM
Reply to this message Well, I just used the Snackatron and I *THINK* something shot out, but not sure... What's on the floor doesn't look like Milkbones-- just some round things. I guess it could just be carpet lint-balls I'm looking at, unless the treats in the Snackatron are now something different and carpet-lint-ball-looking.......
EMH 12/13/2007 8:34:09 AM
Reply to this message Yep, no more milkbones in the snackatron. Now they get a few Charlee Bear snacks, which are little penny-sized snacks that are only 1 calorie a piece.

Reply to this message Hey, Cool-- I saw Elmo wake up by the front door so I went and gave him a snack and two fell on the floor for him. I saw him get one of 'em. I like this thing :+) You should sell these EMH. lol
kittynurse 8/31/2007 11:59:28 AM
Reply to this message WOO-HOO-- I just fed Hershey a Milkbone for the first time and he settled down on the floor right below it, waiting for his next snack!
Cheryl 8/31/2007 8:42:53 AM
Reply to this message Good boy, Elmo!! This snackatron thing is cool, EMH :+)

suek50 8/13/2007 4:24:30 PM
Reply to this message Okay, that about broke my heart.... the bell dinged, the treat fell "somewhere," and Elmo sniffed and sniffed around, but I don't think he found it! He even looked straight up into the camera as if to say, "where da heck izzit??" sigh...
JenPlamp98 8/13/2007 12:10:38 PM
Reply to this message OK.... THAT is awesome!!! I love to see Elmo in ACTION! :-) Thanks EMH!
kittynursis 8/10/2007 1:49:34 PM
Reply to this message Very cool and fun to watch, EMH, thanks! But....I think maybe ***YOU*** are masquerading as the Snackatron becaouse even though I hear it, nothing seems to happen until YOU flick the Milkbone to the floor, lol!!!
kittynurse 8/9/2007 10:42:44 AM
Reply to this message ***SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL*** When I first clicked on the Snackatron, it didn't dispense a snack and poor Elmo kept sniffing the floor and even stood up on his back legs and reached a paw up to the dispensing area. He then sat down on the floor nearby and I could see his nose and feet, so I guess he was waiting. I refreshed the screen, clicked on the Snackatron again, and out came a Milkbone! HOORAAAAAY!
Katers1 8/8/2007 7:31:55 PM
Reply to this message EMH! Great picture and sound! I think I gave Elmo a goodie, but have yet to see any pooches. FYI, I'm on a Mac and it's perfect!
Cheryl 12/25/2006 10:20:58 AM
Reply to this message Sorry--didn't mean to mess up the home page today. My pc isn't working properly, so when I first put those pics up they weren't showing up for me--(didn't know they'd end up so big). Merry Christmas to all!!

Reply to this message So where's the "construction cam" today? Do people not work on Mondays in DC? We're dying to know how that big mess is going, turning into...?
Jane 10/21/2006 8:31:22 PM
Reply to this message Oh, Elmo, sorry..I called you a girl! I know EMH is smart enough to invent a Pet-A-Tron...that would be soooo neat and Elmo could see how much we love him!!:}
Jane 10/21/2006 8:27:48 AM
Reply to this message Yay!!! I actually got to feed Elmo for the first time last night!! She came running over, grabbed the milkbone, gobbled it down and then looked for another one! Way cool!!
Sylverwynde 10/20/2006 2:19:18 PM
Reply to this message Yay, I gave Elmo a snack! He ran right up and scarfed it down. Then he nosed about looking for another. Then he checked the bowl to see if he missed any. Then he sat down and waited for more. Then he scratched. Then he got bored and wandered off. It's so cool seeing Elmo Live!
kittynurse 10/20/2006 3:01:09 PM
Reply to this message LOL-- that's pretty much what Elmo does each time! I just tried to feed him a snack, but the Snackatron seems to be out of Milkbones. ~{=^C}
kittynurse 10/20/2006 3:05:22 PM
Reply to this message HEY! EMH must've re-loaded the Snackatron. I just tried it again and a green Milkbone actually landed in the bowl and didn't fly out like before-- ~QUITE~ impressive-- and FUN! (I wish EMH'd invent a Pet-atron where we could pet Elmo from cyberspace!)
Cheryl 10/21/2006 9:04:12 AM
Reply to this message Now, that is a GREAT idea! (pet-atron)
Sylverwynde 10/24/2006 11:56:57 AM
Reply to this message Yeah! I think a Pet-atron would be a great idea! But, if it's as strong as the Snackatron, we may end up with a squished puppy. :o(
kittynurse 9/20/2006 10:11:26 AM
Reply to this message Hmmmm... The Snackatron has been out of Milkbones for a while now. Is it time for Elmo-fans to take up a Milkbone collection to help the Family Unit out? As with other fund drives we've had here in the past, you can send donations to ~moi~ and I'll be glad to buy large amounts of the treats and send them on to Elmo. Send any denomination, preferably in unmarked tens and twenties to: Kittynurse, P.O. Box 1234, Happy Acres, Room 1A, c/o CARL, Happyville, PA. Thank you in advance for helping to defray the cost of filling the Snackatron!!
Sylverwynde 9/20/2006 11:08:29 AM
Reply to this message Maybe we can set up Paypal Milkbone donations?
kittynurse 9/29/2006 7:41:12 AM
Reply to this message No, Sylverwynde-- it's ~*MUCH*~ better if you send the donations directly to me. ~I'll~ see that Elmo gets his Milkbones-- you can trust me on this... Really... Seriously... Heh-heh...
Katers1 9/21/2006 12:57:47 PM
Reply to this message KN, you are a hoot!!!! Just for my information, do they have suites at Happy Acres, or are they all single rooms? lol!
kittynurse 9/29/2006 7:50:31 AM
Reply to this message Katers, Happy Acres only has single rooms, unfortunately-- Padded or unpadded as the need arises. I've actively campaigned for suites for those times that Elmo has been on hiatus for longer than a week and other Elmo-fans have needed the vaca... uh... respite... er... therapeutic supervision which Happy Acres provides. With the water therapy, interesting group chats, crafts, and games offered (trying to take off the tight jacket that ties up my arms is the most fun and challenging!), why, it's practically a Spa!
Kittynursis 9/22/2006 8:04:13 AM
Reply to this message My check's in the mail. Hey, wait a minute! I thought you weren't allowed to receive mail at Happy Acres cuz Carl might catch you trying to string together all those tens and twenties to make an escape!

Reply to this message Lotsa fun but I liked it better with the sound on! Will you be fixing that, EMH, or will it stay this way?
EMH 9/14/2006 7:45:41 PM
Reply to this message Well, I generally turn the sound off when I'm working from home, or if I know I'm going to be on the phone, since the snackatron is in the office.
Kittynursis 9/18/2006 7:30:54 AM
Reply to this message Oh yeah, good point. I guess you don't want to hear the rrrr-rrrr-rrrr and "Fur Elise" while you're on the phone with an important client, lol!

Sylverwynde 9/8/2006 1:09:00 PM
Reply to this message YAY!!! I saw Elmo run over and eat the snack!!! (it's still bouncing out of the bowl - what a powerful Snackatron!!) The sound is ded, though. Yay Elmo and his Humans!!!!!

Reply to this message ......Oh, and YAY for the new Macbook! I'm unbelievably jealous!
Katers1 9/7/2006 2:21:01 PM
Reply to this message EMH-while I can't access the Snackatron on my Mac at work(we can only access certain web sites... I can waste a morning on ebay, but I can't watch your dog eat a milkbone....go figure), I found if I use Internet Explorer instead of Safari on my Mac G5 at home, I can get video just fine.
EMH 9/6/2006 2:00:58 PM
Reply to this message I know the video is down, so to whoever just gave elmo a snack at 4:00 PM, he came running over and scarfed it up.
suek50 9/5/2006 10:39:17 AM
Reply to this message Sept. 5... Dagnabbit, my milk bone flipped right out of the frame... so if Elmo streaked in there to get it, I missed it. sigh.
Sylverwynde 9/5/2006 11:50:56 AM
Reply to this message I had the same problem. Guess the Snackatron has been eating his spinach, eh? :o)
suek50 8/31/2006 1:09:26 PM
Reply to this message It's absurd, really, how much joy we can get from making a dog snack appear for that dog! Hearing him chew makes my day, LOL!
kittynurse 8/31/2006 4:03:20 PM
Reply to this message I love that too, Sue. I also love seeing his fluffy (in the fur-sense) body walking by the camera!
suek50 9/1/2006 5:59:41 AM
Reply to this message I can identify with Elmo, I'm a tad "fluffy" myself...
Katers1 8/29/2006 4:48:57 PM
Reply to this message Just fed Elmo my first Snackatron treat and actually watched him come to the bowl, snarf it up immediately and then, look for another! Adorable!
kittynurse 8/30/2006 9:40:19 AM
Reply to this message So glad you finally fed Elmo a snack, Katers! Isn't it great to hear and see him crunching and sniffing around? Sometimes I've gotten to hear him bark, too!
Cheryl 8/29/2006 3:51:29 PM
Reply to this message I got a milkbone to go into the bowl today, but I don't think Elmo heard it. I know if he would've heard it, he'd have been there! lol ;)
kittynurse 8/30/2006 9:41:41 AM
Reply to this message I think you should win some kind of prize if your Milkbone hits the bowl and stays there rather than bouncing out onto the floor!
Cheryl 8/30/2006 1:22:15 PM
Reply to this message lol
Sylverwynde 8/29/2006 1:12:42 PM
Reply to this message OK, is the Snackatron busted again, or empty? I tried twice today to give Elmo a snack, and nothing happened either time...... :o(
kittynurse 8/30/2006 9:37:42 AM
Reply to this message It might be empty-- it possibly ran out of Milkbones. I tried it once last night, I heard the gears turning etc., but no Milkbone was forthcoming.
Cheryl 8/28/2006 1:54:32 PM
Reply to this message I gave Elmo a milkbone today!!! Wheeeee!! I pushed the button and I saw a white bowl in the video, I didn't see anything after that (not sure if I'm doing it right. duh) It said up above in the box that Elmo just had a milkbone right after I did that ;) Cool!! I finally got to do it. Um, I'm ok now. lol
Katers1 8/29/2006 8:54:24 AM
Reply to this message I am so happy! I finally am able to view the wonderful Snackatron! Haven't had the pleasure of feeding Elmo, I can hope, can't I? LOL!
JenPlamp98 8/26/2006 5:25:27 PM
Reply to this message Wow - I think I gave Elmo a snack! I pushed the button, and looked at a dark Snackatron while I listened to the girls playing for a few minutes, and then a mysterious hand reached inside the Snackatron and handed the bone to Elmo. I think it was Elmo... it sounded like a dog eating! LOL
suek50 8/27/2006 9:35:52 AM
Reply to this message I HOPE it was a dog! LOL Maybe they have a mystery dog-treat-eating monster in their new house!
Cheryl 8/25/2006 2:15:44 PM
Reply to this message So far I haven't seen the movie/video load so it must be turned off. I can't wait til I'm in here and I actually get to see it. I have been coming here for ages and ages and I missed the last snackatron because I was on a webtv. Thanks EMH.
kittynurse 8/25/2006 8:19:57 AM
Reply to this message Oh-- I didn't see this message area (COOL!) before I commented on a catch in the Gallery after feeding Elmo. Part of what I said was: NICE close-up shot of the Milkbone. I wondered if Lucy ever gets a Milkbone or does Elmo beat her to it? I could hear her barking in the background. And where did the tune go? I didn't hear "Fur Elsie" playing after I clicked on the Snackatron. Is there a timer on the Snackatron now? I worry about making Elmo too um.... er.... fluffy.
kittynurse 8/25/2006 8:21:49 AM

suek50 8/23/2006 6:29:10 AM
Reply to this message Wed. morning: pressed button, only 2 notes played...treat didn't inch forward much...EMH to the rescue! I could see him toss the milkbone to Elmo, and see it promptly devoured. Good morning, Elmo & Family!
suek50 8/22/2006 6:05:53 PM
Reply to this message 8:08 PM, Tuesday, Snackatron Update: Just fed Elmo a Snack in the semi-darkness; I think the family is out. He barked appreciatively 3 times.
suek50 8/22/2006 5:23:39 PM
Reply to this message I just dispensed a Snack from the Mighty Snackatron, and it only played a moment of the music...I don't think Elmo heard it! The Snack dropped to the floor and not a single dog showed up. Very sad... I bet he'll find it later, though!
