Sitting Ms. Sophy!

2012-01-22T11:34:00.001-08:00

Hi Friends! This weekend something very exciting happened. As some of you may or may not know, Paige sits dogs often in our house. This weekend we sat a cute little girl and her name is SOPHY! At first she was just a bit nervous, but now she has completely come out of her shell. She copies everything I do. She even went number 2 at the same time as me. Here are some pictures of us!! Hope you’re

New Year, and a New Look!

2012-01-01T11:14:00.001-08:00

Hello Friends! Happy New Years! I must be honest, It sure feels like a regular Sunday to me! For the New Year of 2012, my Grandma bought me a new collar! She loves collars (and shopping, too!) so It makes me feel fresh and new for the New Year!!! Paige and I both thought it might be a little girly, but that’s ok. Everyone says “she” when they see me anyways. LOL. Just to let you all know how we

Christmas Trees and Christmas Cards!

2011-12-04T10:37:00.001-08:00

Hello Friends! This post was supposed to be sharing the pictures of my Christmas trees, but neither are finished yet (we always decorate 2). BUT, lucky for you guys, Paige went to a place called STATS in Pasadena, CA. Its like Winter Wonderland in there!!! Paige took some pictures. Enjoy! Oh and PS- Is there a Christmas Card Exchange going on this year? If so, can someone tell me where to

This is What YOU Should Be Doing…

Howloween :-)

2011-10-31T16:18:00.001-07:00

Hello Friends, Pardon me for my absence from the fun world of blogging. Let me proudly announce that I am back! And I am back to stay! Believe it or not, I didn’t pause the blogging cuz I’m too busy, it’s actually quite the opposite. There was nothing fun to blog about. I did the same thing every day. Eat. Sleep. Poop. And repeat! But NOW… NOW my friends, the holidays are near! Woohoo! First

My Cousin, Linus!

2011-09-26T14:21:00.001-07:00

Howdy Friends! Today I want to tell you about my cousin Linus. He is a Golden, too! We aren’t “blood” cousins, but cousins cuz Linus is Paige’s cousins dog. Does that make sense? Hehe. Paige went to Nebraska earlier this summer and she spent a lot of time with Linus. She said he is a lot like me [ie. smart, cute, funny, good looking, etc] hehe. This is a photo of some of the corn there. Believe

Dog Development… Don’t forget it!

2011-09-22T13:05:00.001-07:00

Hello Friends! I think that sometimes we all forget that once, believe it or not, we were tiny little embryo’s in our dog-mom’s bellies. Paige sure can’t believe it.. to her it seems like just yesterday I was a tiny 7 week year old pup. So, we have this awesome info-graphic to show you.. .csharpcode, .csharpcode pre{ font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, "Courier New", courier,

Fame & Fortune!!

2011-09-10T10:37:00.001-07:00

Hello Friends, If you have not noticed, I’ve been absent from my blogging space for quite a while now. But, rest assured, I have done some great things! One of which, is becoming famous! woooohooooo! Well, not exactly… All I did was go to the Pet Resort I’m always talking about, and what do you know, Paige comes back to pick me up about a week later and I am in all the staff photos! Not to

Dog Anatomy, Who wouldda guessed?

2011-08-09T12:12:00.001-07:00

Hello Friends, Long time no talk! In a post later on this week I’ll update you all on my whereabouts. But for today, I’ve got an awesome infographic thingy to show you!! From Pet365.co.uk, presents: The Dog Anatomy. This is so cool. I really enjoyed reading it with Paige. I think you will too! Isn’t that cool? Not sure about what you think, but I sure think dogs and humans were supposed to be

Camping trip to the Sierra Mountains and Silver Lake!

2011-07-04T08:39:00.001-07:00

Hello Friends! I bet you’ll never guess what I did this past week… I went camping!! This time we went to June Lakes in the Sierra Mountains. It was SO pretty, and SO fun! When we arrived, Paige took off my seatbelt harness and I couldn’t figure out where we were! So… I went and sniffed around.. Then, I figured it out! Silver Lake Resort (we where in the RV section) at Silver Lake (June Lakes)

My New (Homemade) Bed!

2011-06-15T10:35:00.001-07:00

Its SUPER fluffy!!! I love my new bed!! And its extra special for me since Paige made it!! Licks of Love, Simba

Back to the Way Things USED to be…

2011-05-21T11:05:00.001-07:00

Hello Friends.. Unfortunately, I have some bad news. Remember how much fun I had this winter? No itchies… No lumps… No swollen paws… No medicine? Well, it ALL came back. and I mean, ALL at once. I would show you a picture but I don’t want to gross you out. Lets just say things don’t look pretty. Paige is trying very hard… Being a groomer she has a lot of remedies, but none are working. I even

Camping Trip… Part 2

2011-05-01T18:14:00.001-07:00

So I’ve kept you all waiting long enough. After I made my bed of dirt, Paige decided it was time to hike Mt. Cuayamaca! (Lets just say its MUCH bigger and MUCH prettier in person) This is me hiking. The whole trip was 7 miles! About 3 miles up we found this awesome bench. It was a memorial for someone I’ve never heard of… I was just happy to find a place to rest! When we got back, I was so

My Second Ever Camping Trip!

2011-04-24T19:02:00.001-07:00

Hello Friends, For those of you that have followed me for a long time, you would know that I had only taken one camping trip EVER in my life… UNTIL THIS WEEKEND! To be honest, It was a total surprise. Luckily I had Paige to pack for me. Without her, I would have had to starve! We went to Mount Cuayamaca in Southern California. It is a beautiful place, but unfortunately there was a massive fire a

Easter Time!

2011-04-09T17:10:00.001-07:00

This was my face when I found out Paige was planning to take my Easter photos today: Unfortunately, I had no choice. If you ask me, it seems a little early for Easter photos. BUT, better now than later, right? This was my face when I found out BEEF was involved: WOOOOHOOO! So, you’re probably wondering how the photos turned out. Here are a couple of the ones Paige liked best. Gotta

2011-03-30T20:59:00.001-07:00

Hello Friends! I’ve been so busy! I guess I can’t say I’ve been busy because I haven’t been… :-) But I have been doing fun things! My birthday was a BLAST! It feels soo0 good to be 2. I still act like a big puppy though. Just because your TWO doesn’t mean you can’t play by yourself or ask for a tummy rub!! New exciting and better posts coming soon. I guess Paige is busy or somethin’ because

My Prayers and Paws for Japan!

2011-03-20T11:58:00.001-07:00

Hi Friends, I am sure all of you already are aware, but there was a major earthquake and tsunami in Japan a week or two ago. It is so sad to see so many people suffering, but many don’t realize… what about the dogs, the cats, the bunnies, and the other pets? Paige was doing research online for causes to help out the hurt pets in Japan. While searching, she found this video.. The video is in

Happy St. Patricks Day

2011-03-17T21:26:00.001-07:00

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, and didn’t feel like dressing green, or have Paige put props on me for the photo. So, I made her put it AROUND me.. Now THAT’S what I call being the “Boss” :-) Have a good GREEN day. Simba

Make it a GREAT Weekend!

2011-03-12T11:28:00.001-08:00

Hello Friends! Take this weekend… and enjoy it. Kick back, relax, and have some fun! And enjoy the weather. Whether is cold, snowy, hot, humid, rainy, or whatever it may be! And remember to keep the people & doggies & kitties in Japan in your prayers!! Licks of love, Simba

What It’s Like At Work!

2011-02-19T07:37:00.001-08:00

Hello!! Hope all is going well for all of you. I haven’t been online very much lately. I’ve been very busy at work. So, I decided to show you what it’s like! First thing I do is put on my seatbelt, and get in the car! Remember, pet safety is very important. Using a seatbelt in the car could save your life, and your dog’s life aswell. The drive is about 30 min. I usually just look out the

Valentines Day

2011-02-13T20:20:00.001-08:00

Hello Friends! Not sure what this whole Valentines Day thing is about. I just see alot of red and pink, smell alot of chocolate, and been finding roses everywhere. While I’m not quite sure what it’s all about, a couple of my friends and I decided to take some Valentines photos. Enjoy! And have a great Valentines full of chocolate (or carob… hehe) and roses! My photo: My friends:

Still Just a Big Baby!

2011-02-04T21:50:00.001-08:00

Hello Friends, Paige keeps talking about how it’s time to grow up and have more responsibility. I just can’t handle it. The other day I broke down and carried my blankie on a mile walk with Paige. I just couldn’t face the world without it. Now that I look at these pictures I am embarrassed of my low moment… but Paige and I had a talk and decided that it’s OK to be a big baby for a while.

Simba Says… Meet Casey!

2011-01-28T18:15:00.001-08:00

Hello Friends!! Today I am going to introduce you to a dog named Casey. Casey is an 11 year old Maltese. Isn’t he cute? Casey and I are quite similar (believe it or not) but we do have one major difference… first lets go over the similarities! The first is, we are both WHITE(ish)! We are both lazy at times.. We both get wet: My wet butt: Im wet… I just don’t look very wet. Hehe..

My New Crate

2011-01-25T17:56:00.001-08:00

Woohoo! The special crate I was telling you about in the last post has finally arrived! Paige took FOREVER to assemble it… so I fell asleep. Here is me sleeping by my new crate: I played in it for a while, then I laid back down outside of it. Don’t want to take any chances getting locked inside yet!! Paige is trying to re-crate train me with lots of yummy cookies. We’ll see how that goes..

Once Upon A Little Puppy..

2011-01-20T18:04:00.001-08:00

Once, long ago, I was a tiny puppy. I spent most of my time in this puppy pin Paige made for me. At first I couldn’t hardly put my paws up, but as I grew… I was able to operate pretty well around this puppy pen. (4-5 mos above) Pretty soon I grew so big that I could stand up all the way! And I chewed up the edges. When I got this old I spent most of my time out of the pin and with

A Beautiful Day!

2011-01-12T21:14:00.001-08:00

Hello Friends. Today was a beautiful day. I took some pictures on my walk to share with you. Quick break by the pretty bushes.. Uup! Got an itch! Remember, it’s important to give us doggies a break on our walks to use the bathroom, sniff and get any itchies! The weather is cool, but the sun was out so we took a break in the shade.. This is the brickwall I like to sniff.. Makes for a

A Special Treat

2011-01-08T13:11:00.001-08:00

Hi Friends! I hope you all are having a good week. I am just exhausted! I should be super hyper because Paige was sick all week and wasn’t able to get me as much exercise as usual, but I’m super tired. My week was pretty boring, until I got a package in the mail… It was… TREATS! I love treats. Especially ones that don’t make me sick or get itchy. These were perfect! The nice owner from Pooch

Hello Friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I know I sure did. These are some of the toys I received. These are JUST the ones I got from my family. Paige couldn’t find all the ones I got from my friends so she figured instead of making someone feel bad because their toy isn’t in our picture, we’d just take a picture of how spoiled I was at home. Hehe :-) These are too many toys for

Simba’s Christmas Poem

2010-12-22T08:57:00.001-08:00

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that Santa Paws soon would be there. The doggies were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. And mamma in her blankets, and I on her lap,Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s

I have had a pretty good weekend. It was rainy outside (which means the allergy levels were down for me) which means I got to do some fun things! ...instead of playing "Dig Under the Couch"Realizing this, I woke up early this morning and sat right at Paiges feet asking her if we could PLEASE play outside! Of course, Paige couldn't say no because it is so beautiful outside! Paige had just heard

2010-11-02T21:03:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends! Paige has been watching Pollen.com lately for allergy updates. Unfortunetly, the allergies are very high this week and our part of California went from being cool 60's to hot 80's-90's. And, with the rise of the temperature, came a rise in allergies. My problems seem to be seasonal. Which is good, and bad. Good because I won't have to suffer year around.And Bad because during

I was not thrilled, so, I decided to seek my revenge!And guess what I did? I put it on the top of the big scary Knight right beside the from door of my house. Cool beans, huh?Finally, I can relax. No more costume. Can I say, Mission Accomplished?I, Simba, have

Hi Friends! Its my 101st Post. How exciting is that! I've got quite a post for you.. Its about Slimming Down Your Pet! Really! It is SO important to keep your pets healthy! Just like humans. Obesity is effecting dogs and cats too. Luckily, because Paige has watched my diet and makes sure I get exercise, I am keeping thin. However, it is very easy for lazy dogs like me to pack on the pounds.

A Story of an Angel Dog and A Fighter - My Pal Max

What are hips for, anyways?

2010-10-03T17:49:00.000-07:00

The rollercoaster of life is takin a dip. My hips aren't workin very well. Paige said that I might be struggling with hip dysplasia and I don't even know what that is!! She is very worried and I hate to cause her tummy to hurt over me. All day I've layed on the couch. Paige got me up to eat some breakfast and dinner, but I haven't done much else. It is reallllyyyy hard for me to stand up and I

Rainbows

2010-10-02T10:57:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, we got some rain! This is not common at this time for us, especially since it was 113 degrees earlier in the week! Paige took me outside so that we can do a photoshoot. I had no interest in this, I was more interested in watching the humming bird drinking out of our feeder..Look at me! I'm in grass! Paige said it would be ok just aslong as it is for a short while... we wiped my paws

An Inspiration to literally, "Do More with Your Dog!"

2010-09-29T18:58:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends!Today, I decided I wanted to share with you something that has really turned my boring old life upside down. Paige ordered a book called, "Do More With Your Dog!" by Kyra Sundance because she thought it might give her game ideas to play with me. As most of you know, I have severe allergies to many things, and I am no longer allowed to play in grass. Atleast until this season

Hi Friends! I hope you are enjoying your bloghoppin' saturday! I went to the vet yesterday, and Paige and her talked about alot of things. I made sure to stay quiet and listen because I knew that if I didn't, you all would be sad because then you wouldn't know what in the world is going on! The vet said that this is our last trial before we do allergy testing. We were trying to avoid getting all

2010-09-22T12:37:00.000-07:00

I am so tired. Lots has been happening with me. My paws that have been red and itchy for a while now really flared up this week. They got HUGE! It hurt me to walk on them. We are starting to think that the grass is causing this problem. I also decided that I wouldn't walk on grass for a couple of days. Paige didn't understand, at first. I think she caught on that I am trying to tell her that the

Are YOU ready to be SPOOKED?

2010-09-19T10:55:00.000-07:00

This Halloween, I have decided to do something. Last year Halloween didn't go to well.. Every time kids came to the door I tried to charge at them because I thought it was THEIR job to give ME treats. Guess I was wrong. I know that this year. So, Paige said IF I am good and prove to her that I can handle it, I may be allowed to be on door duty with her again!Paige doesn't want me going trick or

My New Toy!

2010-09-09T21:53:00.000-07:00

I got a new toy today from a very special friend. She doesn't blog, but she has lots of doggies! This is a special toy, made super tough and with special colors so that dogs can see them (since we don't see the same as humans). If you look below, you'll see a blurry white thing. Yeah, thats me standing on my hind legs (or actually coming down from being on my hind legs). This is such a fun toy.

Another Update from Paige

2010-08-27T20:08:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys! Thought I would "break in" and let you all know what is going on again! ;-) Luckily, he is OK and the peice of his collar he swallowed is moving through his body. He is no longer reverse sneezing, obsessively swallowing, or hiccuping. I have not seen it pass through, but I have a feeling it will soon.We went to the vet [again] today because we had scheduled a follow up appointment on his

Simbas Health written by Paige

2010-08-25T18:57:00.001-07:00

I know it gets annoying to hear about Simbas problems constantly, but today was another one of "those" days. I spent a couple of hours at the vet today. Someone I thought I could trust with him (this isn't an ordinary job - its tough with all his allergies and problems) let him chew on his collar and he broke off a peice of plastic on the collar and swallowed it - causing him to hiccup, unable to

Life With A Lampshade On..

2010-08-22T15:23:00.000-07:00

Life with a lampshade is BORING Things are getting easier for me, though. I am still eating and drinking out of Paiges hands, but I am able to play and walk around without bumping into people now. I am still very sleepy, so I've been sleeping alot. Paige said it is because of the medicine I have to take.Also, Paige is sorry to say that because of all that is going on, She is cancelling the Doggie

2010-08-20T21:59:00.000-07:00

Today, things were a little better. I slept well last night, so I wasn't as grumpy. My day was especially good once I found a way to get my best friend Mr. Kitty McMuffin (don't ask) in my cone with me. The steriod shot made my legs feel much better and the swelling went down. I will be on antihistimes for alteast a year or so as an every day medicine to cut down on my allergies (allergies is

Rough Days

2010-08-19T19:23:00.000-07:00

I am not feeling well at all. And now, to add to the big pile of poo that I have been feeling like, I have to wear this thing that annoys me terribly. It also does not help that I can't walk because my foot is so swollen from the infection! Not to mention my ears and belly are itchy too! Paige said that the medicine will help soon, and within 2 weeks I will have this thing off my head and feel

A Day at the Dog Park

2010-08-17T11:21:00.001-07:00

Today, for the first time ever, I went to the dog park! I had sooooo much FUN.This first picture is of me (after playing hard with a my new friend) laying beside the fence that has a Golden Retriever on it. I like to lay by my kind. Hehe! I mostly hung out in the Agility section of the dog park. It has more shade (it was VERY hot this morning) and because I liked the obstacles.More obstacles I

Tuesday Truth

2010-08-10T19:11:00.000-07:00

The Tuesday Truth is, as a matter of fact, that I have not been a very good dog.The neighbor dog told me that he has to stay away from me because he thinks I will rub off on him. He also told me that I won't get anything more than cat nip and coal in my stocking.Paige doesn't know of this, I didn't want to scare her. The neighbors dog and I consulted privately behind a bush, where he eventually

Big Day

2010-08-08T21:39:00.000-07:00

Today was quite a day. Lots of running around wondering what is going on! It was kinda hard for me to understand, but here is the information I gathered. One of the rooms in my house is called a crafting room, and one of the water pipes broke and we had to empty the whole room to the outside of the house.Lots of things that I got to taste. I tasted dust for the first time today and it was

Hello Everyone! Its that time again. Me and all my doggie friends and their mommies got together and each of us pulled together a photo of if we could have a job, what it would be! So, I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures. Paige was gonna let me roll around in the mud and we were gonna pretend I was a homeless man, but she decided I needed a better job then that! Hehe! Enjoy all the photos..

Sniffles

2010-07-29T18:42:00.000-07:00

Paige and I both have been very tired and not feeling the best. Paige has something where she sniffles and coughs alot and I don't like it one bit! She keeps me up at night blowing her nose! Not to mention getting up to swallow some kind of medicine every 4 hours! Oh, and, shes burning hot as heck! So, needless to say, I've been up alot through the past few nights and have been VERY tired. Too

I am here to announce that I have taken my first frisbee video! Yay! I hope you all enjoy it. My first two catches weren't the best, but the last one was a good one! I love making a big catch! Oh the wind in my tail! Paige and I started to work on a new trick this morning. We'll put it on video next week once we've perfected it. We have so much work to do, we know, but we can do it! Also,

Frisbee

2010-07-19T10:35:00.000-07:00

This morning Paige and I went outside and there was a very pleasant suprise... It wasn't blazing hot! So, she grabbed my frisbees and we went to play. Playing frisbee is my new most favorite game. Paige and I have been working on Toss and Catch, and some tricks so that we can compete in a year or two. These competitions are known as Disc Dog Competitions and there are two events. Toss and Catch,

2010-07-18T16:30:00.000-07:00

Today, although it was hot, I was able to spend a minute or two outside on my favorite couch. It did not last long at all, but it was worth it. Alot of our plants outside have died. Paige was laughing when she went outside to water some of the small potted plants and they were brown and wilted. The sun just won't give up. But, my last 2 posts have been about the sun. So, I'll talk about something

The summer sun has NOT been very nice!

2010-07-16T15:57:00.000-07:00

Today is another one of those hot, sunny days. So, I decided to flip channels on the TV for a bit. It was tougher than I thought, because I had to find the remote before hand. It was in between 2 couch cushions (someone fell asleep on it), so I had to dig into the couch to get it. Paige thought I was being naughty, but I knew, that I was simply searching for a remote. Once I found it, It was hard

Thinkin' about My 1st Bath!

2010-07-15T11:38:00.000-07:00

Today, there is nothing to do. Absolutely NOTHING! Its too hot outside to play, and Paige doesn't want me playing on the inside breaking things. So, I lay here, today, just thinking. Because that is the only think I am currently allowed to do. (Notice my Nylabone is in the same spot it was yesterday) Since Humans haven't invented a way to see into a dogs mind, I'll show you pictures about what I

Hello Everyone, I have so much to tell you. I don't know where this all begins! But, I'll try my best. I'll just try to summerize this whole thing in a few words. 1) Paige 2) wants 3) to 4) get 5) another 6) Golden Retriever I just don't know what to think! She has been talking to her family about it quite a bit. She said that she wants me to have a companion <-- Yuck! Not quite like that, but

2010-07-11T12:03:00.000-07:00

So, Paige has been trying out new settings on her camera. This one appeared to do nothing but make it completely blurry.. This one is kind of embarrassing. Paige decided to do this photoshoot WHILE I am napping. I just got back from a 2 mile walk...cut me some slack! :-) I hope you enjoyed looking at my embarrassing photos of me drifting off into dreamland..I'll send you a postcard from Doggie
