Lucky Simba!!....
too bad his "daddy" didnīt wanted him.... but it turned out for the best, he got a great furever loving home....
YAY!!! and the best part??...... we get to see more of him!!! :D
sooo cute with Bon.... canīt wait to see Huney and her mini she.....LOl
Me too....what Diana said! I didn't see it coming either but think it is the best possible outcome for the little guy. It also will give Mark's mom a chance to see him now and then. I am smiling that Simba tried to *tell* Bon a thing or two. :rolleyes: Around here when Harlee visits (who outweighs Ripley by about 80 lbs.) if she gets near me and Ripley is on my lap he will flash her a toothy smile and she backs up! :D Little dogs amazingly have no fear. I often tell Ripley he really needs to look in the mirror more often. I hope alll will be peaceful in your home. Bless you for taking him in. Freedom, I'd love a barkerita in honor of the occasion! What are they made of? :p :p :DQuote:

Can't wait to meet the little fella tomorrow. He is too cute!
Welcome Simba! You found yourself a very good home. :)
I knew there was no other home but yours, Anna. I am so glad Simba now has a home with you.
Willie :)
That is fantastic Anna - I am so happy he is staying with you.
For some reason I cannot get the pics, so could you email them to me? I have tried here (at work) and at home, and the pics never download for some reason.
(if not too much trouble ... :-)
Welcome home Simba. :D
Looking forward to seeing you and my new fur-nephew tomorrow!
Congratulations on keeping Simba!!!! Sometimes what is meant to be is a little hard to see when you are worried about everything else. Bon and him will deal with each other you will see, it might take a little time but Bon will realize he is not loved any less and his security will improve.
Very sorry to hear about Mark's mom, my prayers go out to all of you.
I'm so happy for you and Simba! I don't think there's any better place for him that your house :D
The little guy is just too darn cute. I can't wait to see more of him!
Well, this makes two heart warming stories today I have had to make my day joyful. Anna, I started on reading the account on the first page and fell in love with Simba. Unfortunately two dogs even exceed my limit so I knew I couldn't take him, but that didn't stop me from wanting him something fierce. I immediately skipped to page 4 of this thread because I couldn't bear the suspense of what was going to happen to this dear little boy. WHAT A SURPRISE and it couldn't have been a better outcome. I have a feeling that as much as you love and adore all your doggers, this one is going to worm his way into your heart in a way you won't imagine.
I hope Mark's sisters will understand what a significant act you and Mark have undertaken. I can't think of a more generous kindness that could be done for his mother in the situation that exists. I hope they will help you support Simba financially. It is the least that they can do. If you need anyone to write them a pointed letter, let me know. :p
Although I posted that we weren't giving Simba up to Mark's step-dad, we really weren't serious about keeping him with us. We wanted to find him a good home. So I have to take a moment and thank one special person (you know who you are;)) for taking a very serious interest in giving Simba a home.
We have now realized that he is meant to stay here with us.
It's unreal how Bon has welcomed him into the family. He isn't any more jealous of him than he is of the girls. He doesn't have a problem with Simba sleeping in the chair with me all the time or even sharing the big bed.
Mark and I discussed it in length last night and I told him about me having a "little talk" with Bon this past Saturday. I know it may sound silly to some of you, but I think Bon knew what the little guy was going through and accepted him into our family.
I guess I just wanted get that off my chest, thanks for listening:)
On that note, I tried to get some pictures of them all together so you could see how they all look together. Needless to say they aren't great, but they are cute!
------------------
Michelle, I sent some pictures to your gmail account:)
Rachel, his sisters are shall we say "on my list" and I don't want a thing from them! After all, they would have just taken him to the pound :rolleyes:
Oh Anna the pictures are great! He looks like he could pass for Huney's little baby boy! :p Good boy, Bon! We know you and Simba will do just fine. Boy this thread just keeps getting better. :)
Pam beat me to it by minutes but I too wanted to say that Simba looks like a smaller version of Huney. That lovely color is one I can't get enough of. Kudos to Bon for understanding that this home can handle another guy.
In that first picture, Simba has the same picture taking stance as the others. To me that indicates he's making every effort to fit right in.
Congratulations, Simba, on worming your little way into a great new home. It sounds like you knew just how to behave to let Bon know that you were not taking over his spot as mandog of the house. ;) I have to agree with Pam and Rachel that you look like a mini-Huney, I think that is what won so many people over upon seeing you. Many hugs to you, little man. Now tell new Mom to keep that camera going she has four pups to share now. :D
Anna, it is so good to know that Bon is welcoming Simba into the family. Simba does look like he has belonged all the time so I hope things continue to go well. When we "fostered" Pippi, I was sure she and Dazzi wouldn't get along because of them both being female and both being bossy. But while they have their moments of differences, they are really best friends. You just never know how dogs will react to other dogs.
