Lindsey, Lee, Whopper and Simba's Blog (12)

Hi all,

It has been a while since I've posted but thought I'd share our situation so that others may gain some insight...back in September, Simba was hit by a car.  Fortunately it was a slow moving vehicle where we live and Simba ran back up 59 stairs to my husband.  There were no visible signs of damage aside from that he would not sit and after a couple visits to an animal hospital, our regular vet, and a surgical consult, we were told that in time all would heal and that it was…

Simba is nearing 11 months and has certainly developed into quite the character.  The oohs and ahhhs and he's so cute have finally gone to his head!  Or have they?  Anyway, we were doing relatively well leaving for work until about a week ago (aside from some post-move hiccups)...

Incident 1: our dog walker arrived to find that Simba (we know Whopper doesn't do such things), had taken both the pen and notebook that our dog walker uses to leave us notes.  They were…

Every morning around 7 AM, Whopper wakes us up and our day begins.  My husband takes them both out and the typical morning report is Simba did both, Whopper just peed.  On one morning in particular, this was exactly the story. So I get up, shower, get dressed, feed the dogs, and then it's my turn.  I take Whopper and Simba out and Whopper quickly does the business she didn't do on her first trip.  We wander around a little more, Simba does nothing, so we head to the door.  Whopper freezes in…

Throughout my time here on DK I've been hearing about doodle paws smelling like fritos. Whopper definitely doesn't have Frito smelling paws. I've also never met any doodles (or at least smelled the paws) of ones with Frito paws. So, needless to say, I was really beginning to question whether they do in fact exist. Well...they do! Simba, our new addition, has FRITO paws. I even had my husband smell them to make sure I wasn't nuts. Simba must think we are both nuts as we now sometimes call him…

We have now had Simba for just over a week! Today he is actually 16 weeks and about 22 pounds. He and Whopper have become very attached and it is so much fun watching them play. She gets very upset when he has to be put in his crate but she is always right there leading the way when it's time to let him out. We are having good and bad days with potty training. He went 36 hours with no accidents and then the next day had 2 so potty training will remain a work in progress. Whopper loves going out… Continue

Hi friends, Whopper here. I overheard my mom telling someone today that my world is about to get rocked...I didn't quite understand what she meant and didn't think it could be that bad since I sometimes play in some cool rocky areas. I decided to go with the flow until I heard the words that so many of you have warned the rest of us about.

I'm getting a little BROTHER!

My mom says he is coming on Friday from Texas and I'm not sure where that is but I guess it…

The past two weeks seemed to be one of those periods where different ailments (none major) seemed to hit one right after another. About a week and 1/2 ago I was definitey achy and know that I was having a hard time staying comfortable throughout the night. Due to migraine medicines my blood pressure sometimes gets a little low too and that had been an issue earlier in the day. At about 3 AM, Whopper jumped up on the bed, got right in my face, jumped off the bed and started barking. My…

Hi guys! It's me Whopper. Thanks for all the well-wishes. I'm hanging in there but definitely in pain and don't really have much energy. I don't know what got into me Friday night...I've never eaten (or should I say swallowed) anything I wasn't supposed to but I think that thing called a brillo pad must have somehow confused me. I woke up not feeling well and my mom and dad knew that something wasn't right. I didn't want to drink or eat anything. I just wanted whatever was stuck inside of me…

Hi all...today has not been a very good day. This morning when I woke up Whopper was cuddled right next to me and I thought this was the start of a great day. After cuddling for a while, Whopper started to dry heave. She clearly tried to get something out a couple of times and nothing came out. She then settled back down on the bed and was giving lots of kisses. A little while later, more dry heaving and I quickly ushered Whopper out to our patio in case she was able to get anything up. Still… Continue

Last night around 6:45 Whopper finished eating dinner and I decided to take her for a walk in the decent weather before the storm to come. She quickly took care of all of her business and we went on a pretty casual stroll around the neighborhood. Towards the end we ran into her best buddy Kian, a 2 year old golden retriever. As the 2 were playing and carrying on with their usual antics, a small dog showed up and Whopper gave him her usual excited greeting and they moved on after a few minutes.… Continue

On Saturday night my husband and I went out for a nice dinner and decided to watch a movie once home. We decided to give Whopper her first bully stick ever. It took her a second to decide if she liked it and then for the next several hours she didn't move or make a sound. We got through the entire movie without her wanting any attention. She carried it into our bedroom that night, slept with it, and in the morning let us sleep in because she still had work to do. On Sunday night, my husband… Continue
