Who We Are

Happy 2K10, etc!

Ha roo, pups and cool cats! It's me, Zim! Lots of great stuff to cover today, so let's get to it!

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Pretty good so far, isn't it?

Next, as Ammy told you yesterday, last night was the full moon, and a blue moon! Frankly, it still looked yellowy-gold to me, but what do I know? I'll consult with the Guide Dog for the Color Blind after his nap. I mean... after he gets off Guard Duty. Here's a photo Mom took of the moon last night!

Moon over Manhattan (Kansas)

Pretty cool, I have to admit.

What number are we on, three? It's also Photo Finish Friday! Mom took some pretty cool shots of me a couple days ago; they're for my official Ao4 portrait. Check them out! Here's the first:

Don't I look all serious and cool? Very military, don't you think? Here's another:

And here's a third:

DSCN3155_2 Zim

I think I like that first one best; what do you all think?

You know why I had to get a new portrait done, don't you? Because today is my honorary birthday!!! HA ROO! (Not my "Gotcha Day" or "Zimaversary" - that's back in August. This is the day we choose to celebrate my birth!) So yeah - I'm 10 now! The double-digits, just like everyone else here at Ao4 HQs! Pretty cool, huh?

Speaking of cool... between the big snow we got before Mom's trip and the blizzard Santa gave us for Christmas, I've been building some really cool snow forts lately. (Channel 49 Storm Team even put one of my pix on the 6 o'clock news again! Thanks, Storm Team!) Mom is still learning how to do things like this, but she put a little slideshow together for you using iMovie. It's me working on some of my really cool snow forts! Turn your speakers up and hit "play". I hope you enjoy!


Almost like being there with me, isn't it? (Music by Ella Fitzgerald; movie directed by Stormy.)

Happy New Year, everyone!

Play bows,
Zim

    Hey handsome... I surely hope you have had an excellent Birthday! Your fort building video was excellent. You really get down to business and I like that. The moon was beautiful last night. So thankful your mom showed us because it was cloudy here and we could not see it. Anyroo, I am rambling on here... I love your new headshot!!! Oh so handsome.
    Hugs,

  24. Happy 2010, Zim! I love the first portrait of you best, but they are all good.

    Your fort building skills are excellent! If your Mom would give you a longer leash I bet you could make them even bigger and deeper.

    You're a master, Zim, thats all we can say.

    Kisses,

    Stella

  25. Happy New Year and Happy Birthday!!!! I definitely like the first portrait best. Very nice. Also enjoyed the slide show.

  26. Zimmie, you know I love you and all but why, exactly, is it that you build all those forts? Just curious...
    Happy Barkday to you! Gosh! Now you are as old as I am. I knew Storms was an older lady but I didn't know all of you were eligible for the senior citizen discount too. No wonder I like you guys so much!
    The moon has be gorgeous, hasn't it? And oh, so cold out! No building snow forts for me.

  30. You sure are busy. We could use your digging skills around here for sure.

    Hey! I like the third photo the best, but frankly, I am not certain those pictures are any different. I think you might have accidentally frozen.

    Happy New Year!
