    Happy Birthday my sweet man...

    His birthday isn't until Christmas day, but since i'm going to be with family and friends, and of course my mutts on both Christmas Eve and Day, I wanted to post this now...

    When I was 10 years old, my family decided it was finally time to get a dog. Now, most of you know the story behind Simba, so I won't repeat myself, but what I will repeat is my love for him.

    Him and I have grown so much together. Him teaching me, me teaching him. There's no love greater than that of Simba and I. No man or woman could fill my heart as greatly as this dog does.

    He's a highly intelligent dog. Sometimes he doesn't even seem like a dog, more-so human. He uses the arm rest in the car, he chews his food completely, he "talks" to you, and so many other things that make my family and I giggle.

    My parents and I always argue about who's boy he is. Everyone knows he's my boy. He always has been, and always will be. I do not think I will ever own a dog that could compare to Simba. I don't think i'll ever meet one.

    He truely is what people call "the dog of a lifetime." He's made growing up so much easier. He's made meeting new people so much easier. He and his sisters make our house so full of life, so entertaining, and so happy.

    Whenever I have tears or a bit of sadness, Simba has always been there to lick it away. NOTHING is more comforting than holding onto him and pushing my face into his fur. NOTHING is more relaxing than cuddling with him while watching the sunset. NOTHING feels as secure and safe as it does when he's around.

    I've said it so many times... He's my angel, my heart, my never-ending box of tissues.
    I never want it to be any other way.

    Here's one of the poems I've written for him..
    -------------------------------------
    I don't want to dim the light
    without the light I wouldn't see
    see the vibrant colors that surround your pupils
    see such charactor and expressions you give

    When the light dims away
    I can see your silhouette
    against the moonlight casting through my window
    as I run my hands through your fur
    I can hear you let out a small sigh
    a sigh of love that only you and I can understand
    a note that gives me serenity inside
    without even asking you
    you lift your head
    to give me one of your tender, docile kisses.
    -------------------------------------

    He's 7 years old now. Thinking of it not only makes me sad, but happy. Around SIX of those years he's spent with me. Six. And I want a million more.

    Happy Birthday my sweet man....Happy, Happy Birthday.
    I want to share some pictures with you all...

    Simba and his beloved purple bunny

    I could stare into those eyes forever..

    I believe this was his 1st or 2nd birthday. He was proudly posing by his hole that he dug.

    Ay my Grandmother's house, Christmas Day. Taken the same year as the one before.

    Always posing so handsome.

    One of his favorite things to do.. tear paper bags.

    Still more.. (sorry)

    Beautiful! Wonderful tribute and pictures, as always. What a handsome boy.

    Your love and the strong bond you two have is the same as the one Daisy and I share.

    I think all of us at Pet Talk have become "attached" to Simba.

    Happy Birthday, Simba. I'm sure you two will have many, many more great years together. Have a great one!

    That was one of the most beautiful tributes I've ever seen on PT. I can totally see how strong your bond with Simba is. What a blessing he has been, and continues to be in your life. You are truely blessed to have Simba as your 'baby', and I know he loves you dearly, just as you love him. May you and Simba both have many, many long years of love and joy ahead of you.

    Happy Birthday, my snuggle bunny. I'll see you on Monday. Kay, you've got me crying at work because that's the way I feel about Duke, also. I know there will never be another dog that fills my heart with happiness like he does. I wish you all the years of happiness that I've had. And, like you, I don't want it to ever end.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Great tribute and lovely pictures. Thank you for sharing Simba as a whole with all of Pet Talk. He is such a handsome boy and I'm so happy he has found a forever home with your family. Give him an extra hug from me, please.

    Happy Birthday Simba!
