A big thank you to all of the Toons who entered the Doodle Appreciation Contest. The Toon Council had a blast reading each submission. Please join us in congratulating the top 5 Toontastic winners -- each receives a portable DVD player of their very own!

I love my Doodle Persnickety, and I show my appreciation for her every day. I give jellybeans to her each morning, and a nice belly scratch before bed. But I appreciate Persnickety the most because if I don't, she'll trample me!

Oh Paris, my Doodle,
Is such a great pet.
I bought her the moment,
That we had first met.
She's very obedient,
When you have jellybeans.
She'll be your best friend,
If you're not at all mean.
When Cogs are around,
She can get quite mad.
For all Cogs are good for,
Is by getting Toons sad.
So please have no fear,
If some Cogs are near.
Just tell her to "Fetch!"
And that Cog, she shall catch!

T-Bone my Doodle, is totally Toontastic! The way he jumps makes me jittery, but I love his backflip even though it would break my back! T-Bone is always there for me. Like when I throw pies in the Cog's faces, he'll come to save me from attacks. T-Bone fits him because he's so hungry for snacks. I tried to feed him pie from my trees, but he's pretty picky. And with his big red nose, he looks like a clown. He loves to joke around. With daring designs, hypnotic humor, and big brown eyes, T-Bone is perfect for me!

Mojo is my Doodle. She's a girl. I love her. She has green spots and she is yellow. She saved me from falling from my house! I scratch her every day. She once ran away from me, then in a second she was here! She's the only best friend! Every time, when I scratch her, she has a heart! She always sees me when I go home! She is an awesome pet. Mojo Rocks! She's always nice to me. She licks me all the time. I love her so much!

Cogs, Cogs frowning down on us,
Toon-Up lacking Toons and a friend that I trust.
Low was our Laffing that moment of fright,
...Haunts my memory still to this very night...
Supervisor and allies gleamed with pride,
Oh, for that "purpieful" Doodle by my side.
"Faithful, Faithful! Can you jump and jive?
I need you now if I'm to survive!"
Came springing through the black circle of hope,
A Doodle who's moves are not always dope.
This time dancing with aplomb,
She filled my Laff to the 20 sum!
Now, I never will forget,
Forever Faithful, my Doodle, my pet!
