Nala likes for us to drive her around so she can impress all the guy dogs. People get a kick out of it too.
Blogger party #2!
Get ready for it! The second Lowcountry blog party is happening in about two weeks on July 13. This time we’ll all be congregating over at Sunfire Grill & Bistro in West Ashley. Come by and join the crowd!
A rare moment
Simba’s growing up quick. At 4 months, he’s already 40 pounds, quadrupling his weight since we brought him home two months ago. I think he’s probably got about 50 or 60 more pounds of growing left to do. Here they are in a rare moment where one of them isn’t pouncing on the other and wrestling. That’s Simba on the left, and big sister Nala on the right.
MT 3.3 goes gold!
After kicking around the beta of MT 3.3 for the past few weeks, the 6A folks have declared it ready for release. MT 3.3 has a few nice back-end features that I’m looking forward to implementing (when I can find the time to get around to it). Look for it tomorrow.
At the dog park
Friday we took Simba into the dog park for the first time. He’s been there before, but this was the first time he was allowed to go inside.
I thought maybe with all the other dogs around Simba might be all over the place checking them out. Nope, instead he and Nala spent most of the time doing the same thing they do inside: wrestle, chase each other and play bitey-face.
There was much dog greeting done, but after that all Simba wanted to do was chase Nala and wrestle with her.
Every now and then they’d take a break to see what the other dogs were doing, but then it was right back at the wrestling.
In the end, we had a tired little puppy, which is why we go to the dog park in the first place.
Bitey-face is a common activity among labs (and maybe other dogs too) where they just lie down near each other and play-bite at the other dog’s snout.
