Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!
This morning Zim comes back inside from the balcony with an empty plastic plant pot in his mouth (about the size of his head). He prances inside, drops the pot (it was empty, thankfully), bats at it and then prances away. It seems he really is part dog!!

Entered this Pic into contest!
I've been giving a small donation each year to the San Diego Humane Society since there was a fire there many years ago. I kept it up because I love their calendars! This year I decided to enter a picture of Zim for the 20148 calendar. I paid the entrance fee and put this one up for the contest:
It's the cutest one, I think! If you have a little bit of $ and feel like donating to the San Diego Humane society, please vote for Zim (It's $1 per vote). Just search for Zim at this link OR just look at all the other cute pictures!

He's trying to to make himself invisible
Zim had his annual vet visit on Saturday. While we were waiting for the vet, I put his harness & leash on him so he could explore the room without wedging himself somewhere where I wouldn't be able to get him. He loved being on his leash!

I moved the box, "out of the way"
Apparently it wasn't "out of the way" for Zim. He found it! That's right, it's his. I keep forgetting.

No more walks for Zim. :(
After 10 years of us living in this apartment and 3.5 years of Zim going out on his harness and leash, with me in tow, to greet neighbors and eat a bit of grass and bugs, our apartment manager gave us a notice saying Zim is not allowed to go outside in the common area anymore. Apparently him greeting neighbors and eating bugs and grass is frowned upon.
So last night, as an experiment (and also because he was screaming bloody murder at the front door thinking he did something wrong and that's why I won't take him outside anymore), I put his harness on him, picked him up and carried him out the apartment front entrance. As soon as we got completely out I set him down. He was totally freaked out and started yelling and screaming. The good news is that as soon as I carried him back into our apartment he was totally done with the outside world (for the night). Thinking I'm going to try little by little every few nights to go outside the apartment complex with him. There's a nice patch of grass and a tree on the sidewalk that he might enjoy if I can get him over there. I do worry about dogs, but we shall see!
It's just a shame because our neighbors (and even the apartment manager as of a few months ago) loved seeing him and having him welcome them home. I suppose we just have to change with the times, right?!
