Chippy the Penguin

'ello, my name is Chippy, Chippy the penguin! I have a black body with a gray stomach. I wear a sailors hat with a red stripe across it. My favorite color is yellow, and I love to eat fish! Playing ball is my favorite thing to do in my free time. I don't know if it's true, but other penguins are always telling me I have a British accent. My best friends name is Nippy, he is a piranha, but he is very gentle and friendly. If you look closely, you will realize Nippy's body is shaped like a ham with his flat face and roundish body. Nippy is orange in color, with a little green around his fins. He loves to play ball too but , the ball always POPS when he plays because of his razor sharp teeth and sharp fin on too! He swims all day and night trying to perfect this one trick; a tripple flip in the air! I love to watch him practice because he is getting so close to doing it!

I have many other friends too that live here to, at the British Zoo of Wild Life, with me. Their names are Leanna the lion, Kipper the monkey, Janet the giraffe, and Puck the beaver. Janet and Leanna are always hanging out together. Kipper loves to play ball with Nippy and me. When we play ball, the game could go on for hours, and maybe even days!! One activity Leanna loves is painting art. She never stops talking about her magnificent paintings or the art projects she dreams about painting some day! You can always tell Puck from the other beavers because of his flaming orange hair. No one knows precisely how he got his hair to turn out like that-- even Puck him self! Puck is more of the comedian of the group. Whenever you hang around him let's just say you'll never stop laughing! All my friends are magnificent in their own special way and I am so lucky to have friends like them!

Some things I also enjoy are taking walks, gardening, and riding my ice-cycle! I also find it relaxing to swim in the icey cold pond or daydream about snow skiing. It may seem that I always spend my time with my friends, but I also spend a lot of time with my family. My mother and father's names are Lilian and Andy. They are both very calm and patient. I visit my parents about two times a week, for about five hours each time I visit. My mother is actually expecting a baby in a couple weeks, so they keep her in a separate part of the exhibitt, but, I somehow manage to see her after visiting hours. Shhh! Soon I will have a baby brother! My mother was thinking of a name and decided on the name of James. I'm gonna teach him to ski!!! Well, that's it for now. Keep your eyes peeled for the next post about me and my amazing freinds! As I always say, Cheerio!
