Simba’s become quite the stealthy thief lately. I’ve been finding him with socks pinched from the laundry pile (just socks…nothing else), pieces of paper from the recycling bin and little wads of tissue from the trash. Today he even grabbed a stuffed squeaky toy out of the toy box. One minute he’s there gnawing on a Nylabone, the next minute he’s coming back with a sock in his mouth or walking around with his mouth closed. That automatically triggers an alarm because unless he’s sleeping, he’s almost always walking around with his mouth open and tongue hanging out looking like a jolly happy fellow. So when he comes back with his mouth closed, it’s time to go digging to see what he’s gotten into.
He’s very sneaky about it too. I think he knows when he’s got something he shouldn’t have because he’s always very quite about it. When he’s got his bone or Kong, he’s very noisy, picking it up, dropping it, tossing it at my feet telling me to throw it, whatever. When he’s got something he’s not supposed to have, not a peep.
Gotta keep the eyes peeled when the little guy’s out and about.
Purveyors of Pooch Paraphernalia
On a walk with the dogs, I noticed that Palmetto Paws and The Good Dog Bakery have joined forces to open up a new location in the James Island Center at the corner of Folly and Maybank (the little strip mall where the Piggly Wiggly, J’Paulz and Barberitos is located). The store is located underneath the big yellow NEXTEL sign, so presumably it’s taken over the spot of a former NEXTEL store.
GDB is a perennial favourite with the dogs whenever we’re at the Farmer’s Market with all kinds of tasty treats and snazzy bandannas for the dogs. Their new location puts it a nice walking distance from us, so now the dogs can get a nice little snack and catch a break before heading back. Palmetto Paws always has great doggie stuff and is always a fun place to go with the dogs.
Now if only that sidewalk along Maybank was a little wider…
Happy Birthday Nala!
Nala turns 2 today! Two years ago Nala was born/whelped and a couple of months after that we brought her home with us. Hard to believe all that time has gone by already. Seems like just a short while ago we were waking up every 2 or 3 hours to take her outside to go to the bathroom or watching her scamper around the apartment being a little puppy. Now she’s a big grown up mellow dog who likes nothing more than to have someone throw a ball for her or give you lots of kisses.
Here she is at about 14 weeks old
Here she is now

Grown-up puppy
This is my 1200th entry. Yay me! 🙂
Simba is 10 months old tomorrow. Here he is looking all grown up, but still a little puppy-ish.
