Let's Go Shopping!

Ha roo, pups and cool cats!  It's me - Zim!  At first I thought it was rather odd that Mom invited me to go shopping with her yesterday, but Mom was looking for a place way out in the boonies that we'd never been to -- obviously I was along to navigate.  (As some of you may remember, my mom could get lost inside a lunch-sized paper bag, so one of my duties is Navigation!)  We found the place without too much trouble and got out to look around.

Mom was all kinds of excited and said she'd found exactly the place she and Dad were looking for. I was a little concerned about her, since all I saw was a bunch of rocks.

I mean ... rocks. And ...

"Most peculiar!"

... I'm not sure. But it was a GREAT place to explore!

We went into a little office and met a very nice lady named Tara who showed us around.

Did I mention she gives really nice ear scratchies? I sure liked her! She said she could help Mom find just what she was after - and had a special surprise for me, too. Really?!?! For me?

We walked around some more ...

"Hmm..."

Tara said it would be OK if I went in there.  Ha roo roo roo!

She showed Mom a billion different rocks of all shapes and sizes and kinds and then ... THEN ...

"Ha roo!"

She was the "surprise" my new friend Tara mentioned.  I can't remember her name, but WOWZERS, was she sweet!!!  We play bowed and stuff and then she showed me all over the place!

"Oh, come smell this, Zim!"

It was the BEST shopping trip I've EVER been on; we had a blast exploring everything together!  Too soon, it was time to head home, so my new Golden friend and I said our good-byes.

Oh, I know what you're thinking. It looks like she's giving me a kiss, doesn't it?  Well, I'm NOT going to tell!  That's between us!

Mom and Dad will be going back to buy some rocks very soon.  I sure hope I get to go with them!!!

Play bows,
Zim
