Since You Asked!

Ha roo, pups and cool cats!  It's me, Zim!  Remember my post from the other day - the one of me going for a very cool car ride?  Our very talented and kind friend Cindy asked, "Did you just drive around in the car or was there more to the adventure?"  Thanks for asking!  Sometimes we just drive somewhere to do something real quick, and then other times ... like day before yesterday ...

There we were, driving and driving.  Once we got on the other side of town and kept going, I knew there could only be one place we could be headed - to see my friend Sandy!  I was so excited!

As soon as we got there, I checked to see if she was there!

"Sandy!  Are you here?!?  It's me - Zim!"

I didn't see her anywhere, so I found some higher ground.

"Ha roooo?!?"

No response.  Hmm.  I looked all over the place for her.

"Ha roo in there!?!"

No luck.  I checked over by the water feature ...

"Sniff... sniff... must not get my feety-feet wet... sniff..."

I picked her scent up, but it seemed old.  

"Sandy's been here, alright!"
Note:  Mountain Goats.  Siberian Huskies.  Whatever. ☺

That was about when my friend Tara came over to greet us and to help Mom find what she was looking for - and she let me know that Sandy was away on vacation.  Or a business trip.  I can't remember, but she wasn't there!  Rats!

Not wanting to waste a really cool car ride, I shook off my disappointment and did some exploring.

"Check these out, Mom!"

For the record, Mom really liked those large river rocks and I think we should go back and get some.  Oh.  You know.  In Dad's SUV instead of the sports car.  It would just be a coincidence if Sandy was back from her trip.

Moving right along...

I thought we should check out this area:

"Hmmm!"

I promised to be on my best behavior and got the green light to proceed!  Take a look at what I saw:

"Fishies!"

Aren't they cool?!?  I sat there and watched them for a good, long while!  It was very relaxing.  I think Mom should make a cool fish pond like that for us - don't you?  And of course, that might require multiple trips out to Sandy's place for supplies and all...

I struck one more pose for Mom before we headed back home:

The money shot!  (Maybe even more so, if I had been looking at the camera...)

I'm sorry I didn't get to see Sandy, but I did have a great time anyway!  It was great fun to do some exploring, Tara is always very kind to us, and Mom got some new plants to put in our garden.  What a great trip!

Thanks for asking, Cindy!

Play bows,
Zim
