Dog Food

Simba has been ill. As in off his food. He is never off his food.
We even took him to the vet.
I am very encouraged though because yesterday, while on a short walk on a 6 foot leash,
he caught a frog. Or maybe it was a toad.
Either way we made such a fuss at him he dropped it and it lived.

This is the second critter he has caught while leashed on a walk. The first was a squirrel.
He has also caught birds, snakes, voles, moles, chipmunks, and a possum.
We used to joke that we'd get worried when he tried to drag some antlers through the dog flap.
Simba, mighty hunter.

We've had him for 7 years and we are used to his conquests. We're sympathetic, now that he is an apartment dog and not the mighty hunter of his backyard savannah. And secretly very glad that he caught that frog. He can't be that sick.
