Welcome Simba


We have a new member to our family. This is Simba, he's about 2 years old and a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever mix. Man, that's a mouthfull. This is a picture from the Humane Society, not our house.

We filled out an application for him yesterday and we actually didn't have a lot of hope since there was already one application for him. But since they have so many adoptions fall through for whatever reason, they take up to 2 application for each dog. So apparently about an hour after I went to work today Nick gets a call saying Simba is ours and we can pick him up today or Tuesday. So I was surprised to get home and Nick and Ben were gone then they come in with a dog!

So far the cats have taken one look at him and refused to leave our bedroom. Ben and Simba seen to be getting along. He is proving to be a real cuddle bum.

First order of business tomorrow is make an appointment with the vet and then see if I can get Ben into daycare for a few hours so I can take Simba to work and give him a bath and a trim.

I'll try to have more pictures up for Monday. We've taken some and Nick can't remember where he put the camera down at.

Aw! He's adorable! So, I lost count... this makes two cats, one dog, and... a few other smaller creatures (including a toddler), right? :-) Can't wait to see the pictures of Ben cuddling with him!
