Ha roo, pups! It's me - Stormy, Supreme Commander of the Army of Four and all of our Troopers. Listen up - I've got important orders for you for the new year! Two distinct sets of orders. I called the Ao4 together for me to brief them up. 
Left to right: me, Dave, Zim and Amber
Once everysibe reported in, I told them what the first mission is: to wish Drill SGT Zim a happy honorary birthday! That's right - it's the day we celebrate his birth! (Not to be confused with his "gotcha day" or Zim-aversary. That's in July.) I can't believe he's 8 years old now! As Mom likes to say, "He's 8 years ... going on 8 months." Ha roo roo roo! I'm sure she means that in the nicest way possible. We all sang the Birthday Song to him ...
Aw, shucks, you guys! Thanks!
...then we got down to business. They knew we had another, extremely important mission.
Here's the other mission. It's a big one, Troopers, and we need your help! To begin, watch this video of me briefing the rest of the Ao4 and yes, our mom. It's that big; get the bipeds involved! Yes, most of it's in Bark. Some is in Siberian. I realize not all bipeds understand those languages, so our very dear friend and dedicated Trooper Charlie the Big Dog had his dad work a little magic. He put subtitles in, so there is no mistaking what you need to do! Ready?
That's right - I'm calling this mission Operation Bring Beau Home! Click that link for my complete set of orders, and to view Beau's video. Do it! Now!
Who's with us? Let's get started right away! Stick together, pups and bipeds, and be careful out there. We will succeed!
Tail wags,
Storms
PS: Let me clarify my orders: This mission is open to ALL! I'm urging all of you out there reading - especially fellow members of DWB (Dogs With Blogs) - to help spread the word about Beau! Thank you. Carry on.
We're not official Troopers but want to help too! It makes us so sad whenever we think of Beau.
ReplyDeleteHappy Honorary B-Day, Zim! We hope it's great!

ReplyDeleteThis is a very important mission. Mom didn't make it through the 2nd video of Beau. She is always so worried that one of us will disappear. She even has nightmares about it she says. We have put the official mission badge on my Blog and will get right on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Zim! Didya get any cake???

Hey Supreme Commander Stormy. Got your order. I'm going to get the kit. I really hope 2008 will be the year where Beau comes home.
ReplyDelete~ Girl girl

ReplyDeleteWoo~
~ Girl girl
how wonderful for you four to remember way back then about beau...i we, remember her owner's plea for her dog and know how much sufferin and pain she expressed, but we just forgot and went on our normal business....now some one wants to help and better yet remembers
ReplyDeleteHI. We aren't offical troopers, either. But, we will join ranks and put on our helmets, post the badge and start in on the search for Beau! We can't leave behind a missing dog!
ReplyDeleteDear Stormy, Zim, Dave and Amber and your pawrents, and also Charlie the Big Dog and his pawrents
ReplyDeleteMy mum is so touched and crying so much .. but these are good tears, tears of gratitude and hope. Mum is speechless right now. She is going to help me do a post on my blog and we will have to work out how to use Paint Shop Pro to put our trooper hats on. Mum sent your links to Sarah-Jane who created the video for Beau, and Sarah-Jane said what you have done is SUPERB !!! and she is telling all her frinds to become a trooper for Supreme Commander Stormy.
Happy honorary BARKDAY to you Zim !! You don't look any older than 8 months, so this is good, and who wants to grow up anyway.
Also, mum is going to find out about Blue. Is he missing too ? Mum is sorry she hasn't been able to help me blog a lot in 2007 but it was a shocker of a year. She's real glad we're in 2008 now.
Thank you so very much my wonderful friends. My mum is crying again. You have all touched her heart so much.
Love from Hammer and his mum and their family
Happy Birthday Zimmie. Hope your day was special. Did you get cake and coffee?
ReplyDeleteWe got your message loud and clear Stormy and put the icon on our blog. We hope that with all the extra circulation on our blogs and on You Tube Beau can be returned to his rightful home.

Hi Stormy and the A04 Team
ReplyDeleteI forgot to tell you that we loved the video too and my mum cried. My mum and Jeannie's mum cry a lot. My mum was wondering if it is too late to become an official Trooper and add the A04 Trooper picture to my blog.
Love from Hammer
