Furry boy

A little piece of Oscar was returned to us

In the shape of this furry boy – Simson, who is 16 months old.

Simson

He’s living with us for a while (hopefully, forever)

And is in constant motion.

(Long-time friends of this blog will know that I took lots of pictures of Oscar like this…)

Run

When he does slow down,

He is adorably goofy.

(Picture taken with the anklebiters on his Christmas visit with us.)

Goofy

Ruby enjoys his company –

In fact, I’d say that best friends stick together. (Excuse the pun!)

Stick

And when I asked them to pose and say cheese, I got this!

(Someone always closes their eyes just as the shutter clicks, don’t they?)

Say cheese

    I’ve missed so many of your posts that I scrolled back through several. Ruby’s puppies are adorable. Wish I had one of them.

    goofy if someone chokes my throat 😉 😛

  9. I forgot to tell that the crocuses are from several years ago. I use these photos because of the fact that the letter C had its turn this week. Next week it’ll be Daffodils for D! 😉

  11. What a wonderful gift, to have a little bit of Oscar, and a whole lot of Simson! I love the photo of he and Ruby posing.. Our snow levels are low here this winter, the shoveled path is lovely! Your anklebiters are beautiful, too. 🙂

  12. he is one handsome dude! Simson seems like such a stuffy name, have the anklebiters shortened it yet to say Simmy or Sonny? I am so happy that he is with you, of course no dog can replace Oscar but Simson may make your heart hurt less. Just so you know your long time readers miss Oscar very much:(

    1. We miss Oscar very much too… But it does help to have these two goofballs around.

      Simson is such a long name – we usually just call him Simmy.

  16. Very nice photos. I’ll bet the children are happy to have another dog. That is so cute where one dog closes its eyes when you want a photo. That would always be me. LOL
