Why, to go to the dog park of course!
Simba turns 2 today!
Here he is at 8 weeks old, the day we brought him home.
2 year old Simba
Simba's discovered that the two toilets in the house are great places to get water when he's feeling too lazy to walk over to the proper water bowl in the kitchen or use the water bottle in his crate.
One problem is that he's a really messy drinker, and ends up soaking the mats and dripping all over the place.
The other problem is that I usually put those Clorox toilet tabs in the tank to help keep things clean. Probably not too healthy for him to be drinking the water.
One more reason to remember to keep the lid down.

Labradors, of course.
Show us a photo that's overexposed or underexposed but you love how it turned out.
Shutter speed was set a little too long on this one, but I think it looks cool anyway. They're in the back seat of the car on the way home from a trip to Grandma's place.
This is one of the first pictures I took with the new camera. This was with a zoom factor of about 8 or 9 and shows how nicely the image stabilization works. It's much reduced from the original 32xx by 23xx (8 MP) pixel image. I'm really liking this camera so far.
I think one of the hallmarks of a true pet owner is probably the number of times they've cleaned up their pet's (or pets') diarrhea inside the house.
There's nothing like your 3AM-sleepy brain waking up because it detected a smelly what-crawled-up-your-butt-and-died stinky fart. Nothing wakes up that 3AM-sleepy brain like the realization that it's not dog gas you're smelling.
Not only did Simba have the runs in the bedroom this morning, but he walked it across half the bedroom. It's bad enough having to clean it up, but when you've got to get on your hands and knees to wipe up crap (literally) that's scattered across the bedroom, it's really bad. Now the bedroom smells of bleach cleaner with the faint odour of poo underneath.
I suppose it could be worse though. I could have stepped in it while I was blindly stumbling around to see what happened. Or he could have done it all over the carpet. Or it could have been projectile diarrhea. That definitely wouldn't have been fun to clean up.
Now I have to figure out why Simba's having diarrhea.
It appears that at some point yesterday while running around, Simba managed to lose a sizable chunk of paw skin/padding on both his front paws. Not sure how he managed it, but he's definitely not into walking much at the moment. It's not bleeding but I know it probably doesn't feel that great for him. I'll have to make an appointment with the vet and get it checked out.
