My calendar says today is Simba’s Gotcha day. Two years ago today, we brought him home. Yay Simba!

Simba turns 2 today!
Here he is at 8 weeks

2 year old Simba

Simba has taken to digging out socks from the laundry pile now. I’m not sure where he picked that up from, since Nala doesn’t do it anymore. I’ll find a sock on the ground here or there while walking through the house. Occasionally I’ll catch him sniffing through the laundry baskets probably looking for a sock to nab. I even caught him once with a sock dangling out of his mouth looking at me like it was time to play with a new toy he found.

I don’t think he’s eaten any yet, but I guess it’s time to start closing the closet door again until I can get him to stop going after socks.

Today is Simba‘s 1st birthday!



Simba was whelped by Castlewood’s Kiss and Tell and sired by Valleywood Blackthorn Brier. He’s certainly grown up a lot since the tiny little puppy we brought home with us 10 months ago. It still amazes me how different his personality is from Nala’s. Simba’s all goofy happiness and all he wants to know is where his next treat is and when you’re going to throw or kick the ball for him. If you have a treat or a ball, you’ve got his undivided attention, unless he happens to see someone else that he thinks might throw a ball before you do.

Simba’s figured out that when we go to the dog park, I grab his favourite blue football out of the trunk of the car. So now instead of waiting for slowpoke me to grab the ball, he’ll just hop into the trunk, grab the ball and jump out. The people at the dog park thought it was pretty funny when they saw him jump into the trunk.
What’s even better is that sometimes when we’re leaving, he’ll jump into the trunk to put the ball back and then jump back out. Most of the time though he’ll just jump in to try and grab one of the other toys we stash in there.
