Oh Sime!

Well, leave it to Simon to scope out something edible that falls from a tree. Every place we have lived it doesn't take the little guy long to find something craveable....in his opinion. Right before we moved to this apartment he had found a tree that was dropping something good to eat. It resembled a berry. Now he's found something else. This new craveable item I have yet to identify.

The worst part about it...it's falling from a tree at the bottom of our stairs. Which means he is eager to get down the stairs when we come out for walks and he is delayed to walk back upstairs when we come back from a walk. Oh Sime! Yesterday, he nearly pulled me down the stairs trying to get to his new special tree.

Simon and I had a tough time yesterday. The nearly pulling me down the stairs incident was followed by him scratching me due to his anxiousness to get outside. Then later in the evening he followed those incidents up by grabbing Cody's rawhide off the coffee table. His quick lunge and then retraction with the rawhide firmly in his mouth reminded me of a snake! It was freaky! That move earned him an early ticket to bed!

Thankfully Simon doesn't have too many of those days where he goes from one trouble-making incident to another! I'm happy to report that so far today he's been trouble-making free! One can only hope that continues for awhile! Pretty much every time he gets in trouble food is to blame in one regard or another. An over anxious food drive rules him!
