Dogs are the most amazing creatures on earth. They are probably the only beings that love others more than themselves. Dogs are pure innocence. They are not capable of betrayal, jealousy, hate, meanness, or cruelty. They are loyal without expecting anything in return. A dog’s love and dedication is pure and comes without strings attached.

My Great Friend, Simba
When my kids were born, their dad and I would ask ourselves, “I wonder if all parents think that only their babies are beautiful and perfect?” I sometimes wonder that about Simba. I have had dogs all my life but none have come close to being such a part of me as Simba has. She […]
Simba As A Puppy
Simba is growing up so fast. I’m starting to see more gray around her face. I want to share with you some of her puppy pictures. Although she has grown into a beautiful adult German Shorthaired Pointer, she was the most adorable puppy. Enjoy her pictures https://sites.google.com/site/simbathegreatdog
Hurricane Sandy

Simba’s Favorite Activity
One of Simba’s favorite activity is riding in the car. When she sees that I take my keys along she gets all excited. She runs to the car, whimpering and jumping up and down. Sometimes I just let her in and drive her around the block. She’s always happy with that. She’s a great passenger. […]
German Shorthaired Pointers Gut Instincts
Simba has always followed her gut instincts. I have always been puzzled at how she likes some people but not others. I don’t see a pattern at all. It’s like she gets this vibe from someone and acts on it. When she was young she didn’t like men too much. She was almost afraid […]
Simba Loves to Play
Simba is very active and just loves to play. She is constantly seeking attention. I she feels I have been ignoring her too long, even though I am constantly talking to her, she will let out this really loud bark. She sits real tall, stares at me without blinking and just let out a bark. […]
Simba’s Sensitive Stomach

It tends to constipate her which ends up in severe hemorrhoids. I found a doggy health food store this weekend in Hagerstown, MD. I asked the woman working […]
