Im the same exact way with Simba. Whenever i spend the night at my friends house, aunt and uncles house, grandparents house.. I ALWAYS end up talking about Simba. My parents thought last year to keep him at home and have one of out neighbors look after him... but i told them i was NOT going to go unless he came. And they really wanted me to go because that may be our last year (depending on money sitituations and my dad's back problems.) I ended up getting my way *giggles*. I hate to imagine life without Simba and how in blue blazes did i live life befor him, without a dog? Maybe it was because ever extra moment i had id be at my teachers house playing with he Chocolate Labby boy, Buster. Simba does so much for me with getting threw my problems by being there when im crying, and even when i come home with a headache from shcool, hes always there to greet me with kisses and tail wags. Dogs are so great to have around and they teach people so much, like Simba has taught me responsibilitie and from being my dog, he has turned into my best friend. I truely love him with all my heart if only guys could be like that!
