Shiva's first proper swim today in the River Bollin near Ashley, Cheshire




While big bro had a proper "stick"!

Fantastic to see the pics. Mummy Maggie is a real water baby, if we play on the beach, once retrieving her ball, she does a victory dip jumping the waves. I have never had such a confident dog in water. She doesnt like rain on her head though! Please keep updating

Update from Simba - this is me and my little bro taken on Thursday when he was 16 weeks old - he can be a quite annoying little bro, especially when I am trying to have a Ted moment, but I do love him really!
He is getting quite fast and he has been swimming me with me quite a few times - Mum and Dad have to find little sticks and I have my normal branch!






We like to sit on the front step and watch the world go by(we have some flats near us, with very pretty young ladies we can say hello to - Mum says we are right little ladies men!)

Great photos Simba and Shiva - you really are two very handsome boys, no wonder the ladies like you! Molly and Sam used to like swimming in the River Bollin too!

I especially love the one of Shiva with the stick.

Thank you for sharing.

Simba is our star - we went back to the Bollin today; we went on Thursday evening, and Shiva loved launching himself after his 'sticks' as opposed to the branches Simba has!
We went this afternoon, hence Mum is writing this, as we have two young men flat out after lot of swimming! Shiva went in and swam quite a way with the current;although i had to go in at one point and grab him,as he was trying to come up against the current and got to a standstill! (thank goodness for proper walking boots!) This is them tonight - KNACKERED!




He was so excited, but by the end was so tired the concentration on getting back to the car, to be dried off and to sleep is quite funny.
He is an absolute joy,but oh so greedy! the amount of cat food we have gone through as he just barges in and the cats, bless them, just let him - he adores them, although I am not sure the feeling is entirely mutual! although in the last week, he has learnt to wait until they finish and the cats always leave the dogs a crumb each!

How lovely that Shiva has Simba to play with and model himself on. I am soooo tempted to look at adopting an older brother for Oscar as I hate to think he is missing out. We have had a difficult week as he picked up a tummy bug so eventually after 4 days had to visit uncle Barry the vet so now he is ok! To celebrate we went to the seaside today (Prestatyn) and he ran after sticks and the inevitable tennis ball. I would love to let the boys meet up at Tatton, let me know if you would like to.

What lovely pictures of Shiva & Simba, the resemblance to Skipper is unmistakable, it would be great to get the 3 brothers to meet up. Unfortunately I can't get to Tatton Park - perhaps we will all see each other at the Fun Day in July?
Take care

@Lin - yes, that would be lovely; funny Shiva has had a tummy bug as well; but we have put him on different food (The Purina Beta) and it seems to have sorted itself out. When do you suggest for Tatton - we haven't taken Simba, although he has been with my daughter, so will know the ropes! We will probably get the train down (we live in Altrincham) to get Shiva used to the train. Simba is quite an old hand now, although when we first got him, we used to have to lift him on the train as he didn't like the noise! Chris brought them both down to the station to meet me when I had been on a work related trip and Shiva was not happy, so it would be a good excuse. Let us know when you want to meet up.

@Fiona - we are planning on coming to the Fun Day and hope that Shiva can meet up with his siblings - I am sure Simba will enjoy the day out as well.

Hello Simba!
Did you know that 'Simba' means 'Lion' in Swahili?
I'm sure you and Shiva will get along very well!
