The Z.A.M.S. Club

...  We have some very sad news for The Z.A.M.S. Club and you! If you haven't heard on the News or Chu-Chi's page, unfortunetly, two of our beloved Z.A.M.S. Club members and best friends are moving to Pennsylvania, about an hour flight from Manchester, NH,  our closest airport which is a bit of a drive, or an eight hour drive! Even with this big and very sad change, we will continue the website, and use it, phone, and e-mail to communicate with each other. We hope to get together every now and then, and Mr. Pocketpants and my family hope to drive down (maybe we'll rent an RV, hmm...that was a pretty good movie...), and stay for a while. I'm really sad about this, I've never had such a good friendship with anyone before!   I'm really hoping we can live close again someday, because this is really hard for all of us, but don't worry too much, we will continue to run the website as best we can. Thank you so much for supporting us, and we are friends forever!

    Valentine contests are over! Click here to see the winner of the Valentine Song Writing Contest, and here for the Valentine Video Contest!

     Happy Valentine's Day! Check out Chu-Chi's page for the Valentine's Day Festival, and see the new temporary backrounds on each member's page, and the homepage! Check out my Valentine's Day Widgets for the rest of the week! Today's is a crystal ball (removed)!

     Happy almost Valentine's Day everyone! Did you see my new Valentine video? It's called "Happy Valentine's Day from The Z.A.M.S. Club". Original title, huh? Well, in the movie, The Z.A.M.S. Club members celebrate their love for each other by showing memories of their favorite times together caught on tape. The movie is down in the videos section! I hope you enjoy!

     You know how we were thinking about getting a puppy? There's another breed choice for us! It's called a Klee Kai, and it's like a miniature/toy husky! I've always liked the look of a husky, but not the temperment. There are some pictures of it as a puppy and a dog, and I added it to the poll. My favorites are the Klee Kai and the Japanese Spitz, but by the poll results, your favorite is the Westie. Well, maybe someday we'll be able to get that puppy! Thanks for the help!

     Hi, everyone! How are you doing with the contests? Well, I've already finished reviewing the Commercial Contest entries, and we have a winner that I'm going to announce early! Well, this is our first contest, so I'm going to milk this! And...the winner...of the free advertisement and website is...COMING UP! No just kidding! :D Click here to see the winner! (I told you I was going to milk it!).

    Hi! As you know, I like to advertise other sites. Well, this time, I wasn't asked to do it, but I would like to. There is a website that is against animal suffering and cruelty. It is a "Voice for the Voiceless". Please go to www.freewebs.com/sac875 for a wonderfully thought out and put together site. Thank you for your greatly appreciated help sac875! Everyone, please make a connection and help our animal friends!

     Hi guys! Whats up? I just wanted to tell you that I need more Pet of the Week submissions! I will run out of pets soon! Just remember to send a picture of your pet, a bio, and if you want, a video. I'll pick one for pet of the week, and it'll be here on the site! E-mail your submissions to toodleschi-wawa@hotmail.com ! 

     Hi everyone! How are you? As you may know, I like to help out other sites and do some advertising, so I wanted to reccomend one! Please go to www.freewebs.com/whatfunnybunny for some rabbitty fun! It is "A Site of Bunnies and Fun"! There are pictures, videos, games, and more! Thank you for e-mailing me whatfunnybunny, and remember everyone, if you need help advertising your site, please e-mail me and I will look at it! If it's appropriate, I'll put it on here! Thanks everyone, and remember to check out whatfunnybunny's site!

     You know how we made the Z.A.M.S. Club theme song? Well, right now I'm writing a song for The Z.A.M.S. Club. I'm not sure when it'll be finished, but when it is I'll film myself singing and playing the piano for it, then I'll put it in the "Videos" section. I'll probably be making more songs, so I might have a "Songs" section soon. I hope you like the song when you hear it!

     How are  you all doing making your videos for the contest? We only have one video entry so far, by miffy303, a big Z.A.M.S. Club fan! Remember, only have until February 4th, 2008! Since this contest is almost over, I've decided to give you an idea of what the next contest is about. I thought since Chu-Chi is doing some sort of singing and dancing contest, I would do something similar so you could do both. I wanted to do a song-writing contest for Valentines Day. Just write a song for Valentines Day, film yourself singing it (or a friend singing it), use a program like Windows Movie Maker to add the lyrics to the video (it's okay if you can't do that, it won't affect your video as long as the words are clear when you sing), and put it on a video response to the contest rules video on YouTube (I'll be making that soon.). If you don't have a YouTube account, e-mail me and you can send the video by e-mail. If you can't write music, don't worry, I thought of you! Make a Valentines Day related video with the same rules as the song-writing contest (besides putting the lyrics on) and put it on the seperate video-making YouTube contest rules video. Good luck with your videos everyone!

     As you probably know, we have three cats and a hamster. You may also know that Bubbles and Chu-Chi just got a puppy, Melody. Well, Mr. Pocketpants have been wanting a dog (preferably a puppy) for a long time now, before Melody was even born! Our mom said we had a chance of getting one at sometime! We had a few choices for the breed, West Highland White Terrier, German Spitz, Japanese Spitz, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. We would've liked to get a puppy from the pound, but they are often mixed breeds, and that means you don't usually know a lot about what they'll be like when they get older. Since this would be our first dog, with three cats, I think we should get one we know more about, just to be safe. These are some links for good sites about the breeds:

Westies!

More Westie Info

Cavaliers!

Klee Kais!

Shelties!

Japanese Spitzes!

German Spitzes!

These are some pictures of them!

German Spitz puppy!

But by reading about those breeds, or if you have any of them, which puppy do you think we should get?

     I just made a new video, a commercial for The Z.A.M.S. Club website! It's down in the "Videos" section of my page. My favorite part is the beginning, it shows pictures of us and our names, and it matches the music. The rest of it is a video of our website. Go and watch it, it's cool! 

     Did you see the news on the home page? If not, go there now! I'm so excited, and I bet the other members are too (I know Chu-Chi is because we've been e-mailing each other a lot saying things such as "WWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!" or "YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!")! The Z.A.M.S. Club is expanding so much, and we have to thank you. We might not even be getting these upgrades if you hadn't visited us! I want to especially thank Nicole/miffy303 and Reedy/CheetahRule727 for helping us so much with advertising our website and supporting us! If you want to meet them, go to their website, www.freewebs.com/miffy303theofficialsite! Thanks everyone!

     We need more space! The Z.A.M.S. Club website isn't allowed to add anymore pages until we upgrade, which costs money. My dad won't pay for it, and it wouldn't be fair to have Chu-Chi and Bubbles' parents pay for all of us, so we might be selling things or working. It would be nice if people could donate! Pretty soon I will be adding a donation button to my page. We won't be expanding the website too soon, but we'll work with what we have for now! 

     I finished the contest rules video! The prize isn't wonderful, but it could help! The video is at http://www.toodleschi-wawa.webs.com/ and on YouTube. Some keywords to type in at YouTube are ZAMS, Club, and contest. Remember you need to put your video on a video response to the contest rules video. If you don't have a YouTube account, e-mail me ahead of time about that. I'll have you e-mail me the video. You can get more info about contests at www.toodleschi-wawa.webs.com/contestinfo.htm . Good luck making your commercials, I can't wait to see them!

     Are you a fan of Toodles? If so, go to my new fansite, http://www.toodleschi-wawa.webs.com/ ! Although it's definetly not as good as this website, it's not bad! Learn more about me, e-mail me, see recomended sites (thezamsclub.webs.com is in there!), and more! Please go to http://www.toodleschi-wawa.webs.com/ , my fansite!

     As you've seen from my videos, I have a YouTube account. Two of my YouTube friends just made a website! It's really cool! Go to www.freewebs.com/miffy303theofficialsite to see it! They like our site, and have really helped advertise us by talking about our website on the front page, and also by advertising my YouTube username which has some videos about the Z.A.M.S. Club! Since they did that, I thought I'd tell you about their site! Please visit it!

     Mr. Pocketpants and I went sledding yesterday, and I took the camera out. After we came back in, I put the videos on the computer, and edited them together on Windows Movie Maker. The result was a video, "Toodles and Mr. Pocketpants' Snow Shreddin' Clips"! It was snowing when we were out there, and my snowboarding trail was getting covered up, so when you watch it, I keep falling off! I'm really not that bad! Anyway, the video is down in the new Videos section of my page, and on YouTube. Some keywords to get it on YouTube are "the, zams, club, and snow". There are more, but that works. I hope you like the video!

I'd like to congratulate our new POTW! Go see who it is! 

     Tomorrow will be the day to switch the Pet of the Week. I've already chosen someone, and I would still like to recieve your pet pics! Melody was a great first, and you can still view her bio on "Last 10 Pets of the Week".

New pictures! They're down with the other ones! 

     Guess what! Mr. Pocketpants got an e-mail from a friend he last saw in FIRST GRADE! Her name is Natalie, and she's very nice! Natalie, I'm glad you like our website! 

I chose a pet for Pet of the Week today! Scroll down and find out who it is! 

    Hi again guys! I've decided to have pet of the week contests. Just E-Mail me at toodleschi-wawa@hotmail.com. From there you can submit your pet picture and if you want, a video. Give me a bit of information about the animal and your first name, and I'll choose a pet every week to win. Although there is no prize except getting the pet's picture/video on the site, it will still be a fun thing to do! I'll pick the winner on Saturday, and the it will appear on Sunday. If I don't get any entries by Friday night, I'll choose one of the Z.A.M.S. Club members' pets. Good luck to you and your pets! 

    Hi everybody! Unfortunetly, my dad took those smileys off the computer, so you won't be seeing anymore of those! He said that's what's been causing the computer to shut down, slow it down, and other problems we've been having. The ones already on the page will stay, but I can't use anymore. I can still use these though: ! I'm really sorry, and I'm kind of dissapointed, but I guess it's better than having problems with our computer!

     Happy New Year! It's 2008! The Z.A.M.S. Club will be adding a lot during the new year.

     Yay! We finally got a new camera! The weird thing is that it's green, but it's cool! The best picture I got of myself (it isn't easy to take pictures of yourself!) is down near the others. I'm really happy we have a camera that works!

    Hi again! I'm almost done making the contest info video, I just need to figure out what the prize is going to be. It's harder than it sounds because I'm trying to avoid having addesses, and that means I can't send you anything. Well, I'll tell you when the video is done, and I hope it's done soon!   

     Hi Everyone! I hope you had happy holidays! I've been noticing that we haven't been getting a ton of traffic on the site. If you could please spread the word, we would really appreciate it! I've decided to hold a contest that will help both you and us. What you need to do, is make a commercial for The Z.A.M.S. Club website on your computer, and put it on YouTube. Since I have a YouTube account, I will put more details about the contest in a video. Once I make it, I'll tell you where to go. Then you can put a video response on the contest rules video. Please don't just put it on YouTube without responding to my video with a video response! I will not even look at it. Get started making commercials once the "rule video" is out because the winner will get a prize! This will be included in the video. If you don't have a YouTube account, please make one! If for some reason you can't, just E-Mail me! I can't wait to see your commercials, and I'll start making the rules as soon as I can! Keep watching my page for updates!
