Work Duties

Ha roo, pups and cool cats!  It's me, Zim.  There I was last night - I'd had my dinner, went on a short walk with Dave and Mom, and was just starting to look for something to  get into  do.  I saw Mom get the big quilt out of the dryer and knew I had work to do!  Between being a Working Breed pup and being named after a drill sergeant, it is my DUTY to help change the sheets!  I flew into the bedroom and got right to work!

"Alright, Mom!  I want these sheets as smooth and flat as a mirror!"

I smoothed and resmoothed and then smoothed some more!  Mom kept messing up my work and ... it's like she was trying to pile the sheets in the center of the bed!  It was crazy!

"Ha ROO!"

I mean, it was fun, but there was work to do!!!  She'd pile them up, then I'd flatten them back out!  Wowzers, was it taking us a long time!

Mom kept cheering me on with that "ZimmieComeOnZimmie!" thing!  She's real sweet like that!  Guess who else came in to cheer me on?

"Wooooo!  Go, Zimmie!  Go!!!  Woo!"
"Thanks, Dave!  It's a tough job, but somepuppy's got to do it!"

I'm not sure what happened, but I ended up like this:

It's not like I hadn't been in that position before ... but I couldn't for the life of me figure out why Mom kept piling the sheets on top of me!

Dave went around the other side of the bed to admire my work:

"Hey, Zimmie!  Those are the old sheets.  The clean ones are over here on Mom's dresser..."

Oh.  Well ... Mom could have saved all of us a lot of work if she'd made that clear from the get-go!

A Working Breed pup's work is never done!

  4. Zim, you are such a great help to your mom. I love the look on your face in those pictures. You look like you are about to jump off the bed and do some zoomies around the house.

  5. Wow, what a lot of fun changing sheets is with you involved. Tell mom I also love the quilted wall hanging with the trees on it.
    Have a wonderful day!

  7. Zim!! Oh my goodness I help with the sheets too. MOM does not call it help though, but I can't remember what she calls it exactly. Something called hindrance I think. I believe it means Super Helper in German or Latin. Think of what we could do if you and I worked as a team and if Dave gave us encouragement.
    Blessings,

  9. You just can't expect humans to communicate clearly what they want done. Sheesh.

  16. Zim, I have to admit I am kind of laughing at you a little. You are kind of goofy. I have no doubt that you were a big help, but the part where you got tangled up was maybe a bit scary.
