Who We Are

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

Honestly!

Ha roo, pups and cool cats!  It's me, Zim!  We were given this award and tagged by our friend Jackal!

From Angel!  And Angus Mhor!  And Ransom!  And Jackal!

The Honest Scrap award!  Hey, thanks, Jackal!  Ammy already answered this tag, as did Storm and Dave;  how cool that I get a shot at it now, too!  I'm supposed to list 10 honest things about myself, then tag 10 other bloggers.  Ready?  Let's go!

1.  I came from the same shelter Storm and Dave had been in.

2.  I was about a year and a half old when Mom and Dad and Stormy and Ammy adopted me.  That puts me at over 8 right now.

3.  Every day that I was in the shelter, Mom came to visit with me.  She read to me from Robert Heinlein's book Starship Troopers.  If you haven't read it, do.  I was named after a character in that book!  (Video at that link rated PG-13 for fake violence.)

4.  I love to bask in the sun.  It's part of being an honorary kitty cat!

This feels so good; I could just purr!

5.  I love to do zoomies with my pack-mates!

6.  I've never met another animal I couldn't win over.  I was too excited the first time I met the gooses at the Amber Ocean, but now we've bonded.  

7.  My bestest friend is Huffle Mawson, Explorer Cat and Honorary Husky.  She is the COOLEST cat ever!

8.  The very bee-roo-tiful Sitka is my girlfriend.  She's a very charming Southern belle.  I would love to meet her one day; our perfect date would be to do zoomies then go to Sonic for a frozen latte!

9.  My best buddy in the neighborhood is Harper.  He's a Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen, or a PBGV.  He's a real cool guy and has a great voice!  He never fails to call "Ha-loo!" when we walk past his house.  I've played with him in his yard and was even invited inside one time.  He's a great host and brought all of his toys to show me!

10.  If I see something that fascinates me while we're out on a walk, I do this:

Hmm.  Fascinating!

I can't help it.  Apparently, this is not what Sibes are supposed to do.  What can I say?

That's my 10 things!  Now... I know this has been around a while, and I'm not sure who hasn't been tagged yet.  Have you "been honest" yet?  If you haven't, please consider yourselves tagged!  Have fun - and thanks again to Jackal (and Storm Glory!) for the fun tag!

Time for coffee on the deck.  Have a great day, everypup and everycat!

Play bows,
Zim

    I do the same thing, I just sit there, refusing to move. I guess I must not be normal either, maybe it comes from age, I am slightly older than you.

  4. Hi Zim
    Well done with your Honest Scrap - we have done it but it is a fun way to find out more about your pals. We were, of course, very interested to hear about Harper!
    We have never met at PBGV although we are sure he has a lovely ar-ooing voice.
    We were also interested that you like to sit and stare - it is important to take time to sit and stare whilst you work it all out.
    Thanks for sharing all those things about you.
    love and kisses
    Martha & Bailey xx

  6. I love to sit and watch things too. It's only when someone or something comes too close that I lose my cool but I could sit and watch all day long!

  7. Your Mom read you Robert Heinlein when you were in the slammer??? Did she know you were an SF fan or was that a requisite for adopting you? There is a whole lot more to just this one line, so tell us more , Zim.

    Kisses,
    Stella

  10. Momma says that I need to be more like you since I can't seem to sit still and watch. Things must be sniffed and investigated!!!

    Heya ,
    That's a really good list. We took a vote and 3 of us voted to just ignore anything interesting (the kitties) and the other 9 of us ALL voted to investigate with 3 adding very loud barking Shelby and J.E.B.), 2 adding howling (Newfs), and one adding yapping (Abby), Homer didn't add barking. You have a pensive way about you and a lot of patience.

  17. Thank you Zimmy for sharing those interesting honest facts about yourself. My sister Storm gets really excited when she sees something fascinating. Maybe I should send her to the factory for a newer model Sibe lol! BTW she turns eight in June!

  26. I'd like to tag along with you and Sitka and get some ice cream at Sonic. That might ruin the romance though, I guess. Maybe just you and me could go sometime for a buddy date.
