Simba the great!

[Slunnie]

This is why I love Simba!

As a pup she always needed to be with me and she carried on like a pork chop until it was so. She never tolerated being left out at night and never went to sleep until she was back in. Anyway, she is one of those dogs whose greatest delight is to please and although sometimes marginally slow to catch on (and sometimes not so slow!) she doesn't forget what she's been trained to do.

As a pup one of the things she learnt was to not leave a mess with her food. If she spills food out of the bowl, then she eats that up before continuing from the bowl or leaving - she's always done it and I very rarely ever have to hassel her about it.

So the other day she inadvertently stepped on the side of the bowl and food just went everywhere, as in like all of it - the whole bowl and it was all on the ground. The look on Simba's face was priceless..... sort of like :o and much the same as what mine was at the time. She just stood there and stared at the mess, I'm quite sure she was stunning and knew that there was no way the she could eat the whole mess or even wanted to eat the whole mess but knew she would have to eat the whole mess to clean it out. The look on her face as she briefly looked at me was one with big eyes before staring at the mess again. By now I was laughing at her and thought that I'd better clean it up.

To her credit, she got stuck in and started eating as much of it off the floor as she could. She even got the bits that I missed.

Ahhh, is this not the coolest dog in the world. :cool:

She's 13 about 1 month ago. Born 5/12/95.

She's pretty good like that. She seems to be able to get into all sorts of mess and even grease seems to drop out. When she gets a bath though, thats when all of the grime just ooozes out of her and the water goes festy.

slunnie should introduce you to my friend she got a 12 year old samoyed!!! called sambo :D he is a beautiful dog I only wish I had enough money to buy her a little boy puppy :( because sammy is her life.........and she doesn't have the dollars to get herslef another pup once he goes

I would just love to turn up one day with one in my arms for her coz she is such a good friend, with such an amazing compassion for animals......she basically gives her life to the RSPCA with the work and hours she puts in.

Shes going ok, she has Sebatious Adenitus which is an auto immune problem to do with her fur, and also hip dysplaysia which makes like not too easy for her. She has slowed down a lot.

This ones from just over a year ago, she was a bit younger in the other pics.

I really cant recommend having a dog highly enough.

Have to pass a hat around, Sammys are a lifestyle dog rather than a dog out the back - I can't comprehend that day, but she'll miss him so badly.

She is one great dog Simon. I thought I might have had a pic of her from the TT I did but no such luck. I do remember the care you took of her on the steep hill though. Simba was having trouble on the gravel, so you picked her up only to fall down yourself -all the while protecting her from the fall. They are truly mans best friend!

[dullbird]

djam is that samoyed pure? it has ears like a shepherd!!!

yeh I know she has had two very close calls with him........he has IBD which has caused him no end of trouble:(

still enough of the sad sad stories...your pics are lovely of the old girl:)

[rovercare]

Yea, I can't remember a time, not having a dog, even as a kid

Ebony is near 17 now, but she's deaf and partially blind and freaks out with a change off scenery, I actually go back to the folks and stay to look after her:eek:, I can still remember going down in the old mans XB picking her up and holding her all the way home:), we also had a giant version of the same, she died at 10, very sad, 45kgs of idiot she was, could not do any harm:D

The other 2 have gone with their mother:(

Oh, there's no humiliation in protecting something I reckon, in whatever unfortunate consequence.

For six years the 2/3 part of the back seat has been folded and a foam bed in place for my nearly constant canine companion, our golden lab Dana.
She tends not to come with me to work during summer as it's too damned hot and she often can't be let out when I'm working on farms as there's too many other dogs about. Being an Alpha female she tries to beat everyone else up, then demands they play with her, and she's 13 too !

I usually get asked where my offsider is.

The back seat is out completely and replaced by a foam materess with an Engel floor water tank to fill the void - Simba rests her head on it. I used to live at work (boarding school master/teacher) where she would always be around.... not so anymore unfortunately now that I teach in a more regular school and live off.

I recon if you dont hve a dog you are missing out on a part of life,and all kids should grow up with them if possibly.Short haired ones are favourites up here as we have Ticks,and of course the heat.
My sons grew up with our Dobe,for14.5 yrs,and we had a couple of pure bred litters of pups,a good experience for the kids(and us)

SWMBO then got a Sharpei,they are a quiet,strange type of dog:eek:http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/852/024kw8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Here he is with his xmas collar on:D

Good looking dog Slunnie.

We used to have a Samoyed X German Shepherd. She looked like a Shepherd, but pure white coat and pink nose - the tail would hang down and curve back like a Shepherd's when she was being inquisitive or looking for a blue, and would curl up over her back like a Samoyed's when she was playful.

Her name was "Rum" after a particular experience she had when a pup. Also, you could never leave a beer about when she was about. If it was in a glass, she could get every last drop without knocking the glass over, and if in a bottle or stubby, she would push it over and drink th contents as it came out the neck - even to the extent of pushing the tip of the neck down with her paw to get the "dregs".

Fantastic dog with the kids - and we missed her when she eventually passed on in Alice Springs at about 15 years.

[Shonky]

Very handsome Pup mate! :D

I would love to get a dog, but I am barely home and can't bring myself to buy a dog as a backyard ornament. :( It wouldn't be fair to the pup.

Bailey is my family's dog, so he lives on the farm with lots of space to roam around and do as dogs do! :D
