Thread: Simba the great!

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 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.

I'm looking to develop an exciting new alcoholic beverage, could we talk sometime?
