Keeping the humans worried.



Mummy and Fat fat Daddy were supposed to go out last night, but they cancelled to stay at home with me, so that part of my plan worked. I spent the evening cuddled up with Fat fat Daddy. Then I kept them awake all night to teach them to take me to the vets, that back fired a bit as Mummy says she is phoning the vets as soon as they open.

Simba had a bad night, he couldn't settle. He kept crying and turning himself around, he was obviously in some discomfort. I had to let him out a few times, he'd wee and come back in. At one point he just lay down on the grass looking very sorry for himself.

Update.

I hate the vet more then ever! Not only did they stick another needle into, they forced a pill down my throat.

The vet said Simba's tummy is full of gas and making him very uncomfortable. It could be a blockage, but its unlikely as he hasn't been sick any more.He had an injection to to calm his tummy down and has some tablets to help.As he is refusing to eat we had to make him take the pill, which he was not happy about. He seems a lot more comfortable now and hopefully we'll all get some sleep tonight. We need to keep an eye on him over the weekend, he should be well on the mend by Monday.

Simba is feeling poorly.

I left Simba alone this morning for a couple of hours, when I left I gave him a dog biscuit, like I always do. When I got home his biscuit was untouched, strange, I thought. Although I'd been gone a while Simba didn't come and say hello to me, he just lay on his sheepskin.

I thought maybe he has sulking, so I started to get ready to take him for a walk. Simba then threw up. Nothing too worrying about that, but there were specks of blood in his vomit. He threw up again and there were more specks of blood.

I phoned the vet straight away and I am taking him there at 3 o'clock.

I'm sure its nothing, just something he's eaten while we were out on our walk yesterday. But you know how we worry about our fur babies.

I'll keep you posted.

Simba's Mummy

Update.

Back from the vets. Its properly something Simba ate. He's had an injection to settle his stomach and has a paste to take twice a day.

He was not impressed with his visit to the vet and even less impressed that he's not allowed to eat anything until tomorrow.

Have you all seen Boo's blog today?

I'd like to offer the evil rabbit that has taken over the blog a nice warm welcome. So here is my favorite song, just for the evil rabbit.

You may think this is just a tree that has recently been cut down. To Simba its the scariest thing he has seen in a long time.





The only reason I can think of that Simba is scared of it is, when he was a puppy in the pet shop, they had saw dust on the floor. The smell must remind him of the pet shop. Poor Simba, I wonder how scared he was without his Mummy in the pet shop. I would never buy a puppy from a pet shop again.

Mummy and Fat fat Daddy took me for a walk around Verulamium lakes in St Albans. You can see how happy I am running around.



We found some strange looking pine cones. I wanted to see what they tasted like, but Mummy said they might make me sick.




I had to stop a few times to wait for the humans to catch up.



But even so, I really enjoyed my walk.

You may remember last week Mummy left me on my own all day. She went to London with her sister and cousin to walk around and see the sights.

They went to all sorts of interesting places.

The first place they went to was St Brides church in Fleet Street.



Then they went to Temple. Lots of Lawyers and barristers work here. They have beautiful gardens and buildings.






As they walked by Temple church a wedding had just finished and the flowers were been thrown away. They felt sorry for the flowers and decided to take some with them.
The flowers will appear again in some more of the photo's.



Then they went to a pub called Blackfrairs. It looks very strange inside to me. Who are the funny little people?






They saw st Paul's cathedral, there was a man there doing pavement art. He was very good.






Then they stopped at St Katherine's dock for a picnic. Maybe Fat fat Daddy should move the boat to here.(Those flowers again).



Then they walked across Tower bridge.




They stopped at Borough Market for sangria, I think the flowers got a drink too.



They met Christopher Robin at the Tate Modern, I think he liked the flowers.



Mummy said the best thing in the Tate Modern was the view of the millennium bridge and St Paul's.



Then they stopped for more food and drink. Is it me or is there a lot of food and drink involved in this walk?



Mummy decided to cool off in some fountains. I should have lent her my life jacket.



They said goodbye to the London eye and Big Ben and headed for home, with the flowers.


Hope you enjoyed hearing about Mummy's day out.

Look at all the people we had on the boat last Sunday. I think they were all happy because the sun was shining.



I cooled down under a sprinkler, while we waited to go through a lock.



Mummy took a photo of a dragon fly. Its ok, but its not as cute as me.




On the way home I sat by the window with the wind in my ears.



I hope you all had good weekends too.

Simba x

I hope you all had a great weekend. The weather here was sooooo hot!

We went out on the boat on Sunday and look what Fat fat Daddy did?! He went swimming in the Thames. He tried to encourage me to join him. I knew my little legs wouldn't reach the bottom, so I really wasn't sure about that.



Help, help, I'm drowning.



I have never been so pleased to be back on dry land.




It certainly cooled me down.

Simba xx

Mummy is going out for the day tomorrow and leaving me home alone. I shall be doing alot of this.

We took some friends out on the boat at Sunday. Its supposed to be summer, but it was cold, as you can tell by Mummy and her friend all wrapped up in jumpers.



As it was too cold for a picnic we stopped at a pub for lunch. I was hoping they would stop talking long enough to order some food.




Finally some food. Gimme, gimme.



I hope our boat never ends up like this one. Its just as well I have a life jacket.

This is a photo of me last month walking through the field on my walk.



This was me this week in the same field. Can you see how the crops are starting to change colour?



I went to have a closer look. Mummy says we'll be walking through fields of gold soon.



I'd like to say thank you to Kodak, who also gave me the award again. I feel so loved!

The sun is shining and the rabbits are making the most of it. Mummy thinks the rabbits look cute sun bathing.




Excuse me rabbits, stop looking cute and get off my blog.




What we need here is a cute photo of me.

That's better.




Thank you to George, who passed on this great award to me.

There are lots of good things about going for a walk.

Sometimes I enjoying running through the long grass.



Other times I like to roll around.



What do you like to do on your walks?


Simba x

Some of Fat fat Daddy's friends joined us on the boat at the weekend. The weather was nice enough for a picnic. So they moored the boat up on the river bank.



I supervised and made sure they had the boat near enough the bank and all the ropes tied up.



Look at all the yummy food.




Luckily there was enough to share with me.




Then it was back on the boat for a nap.

Mummy took me out in the car last week. I was so excited thinking of all the places she might be taking me too. Where are going to get ice cream like Maggie and Mitch? Was she taking me to meet George at No mans land? Maybe we were on our way to the great wood? But it was raining, so none of those things seemed very likely.




We stopped here. Nooooooooo!!!!! Don't make me go in there!



Even my puppy dog eyes didn't work.



She tried to take my photo while we waited to see the vet. This is what I think of her and the stupid vet.



After the nasty vet stuck a needle in me, I showed my displeasure by going home and throwing up on the carpet.
