  • A Tale of Critters and Friends



    Simone - Critter #1


    My dog thinks she's Tucker's boss.  Nevermind that Simone weighs about 3 pounds and the force that can confine Tucker long enough to get a precise weight has not been discovered.  Simone thinks she's the boss. 



    Tucker - Critter #2 (Note the blurred feet - that's because the kid even jumps while playing nintendo)


    I know she thinks she's boss because I see her trying to herd him a dozen times a day.  I also know this because I hear Tucker saying, "Simone, you are not the boss of me!" a dozen times a day.  If I still had doubts about their relationship, I would know she thinks she's boss because Simone bit him on the butt when he wouldn't move out of her sunbeam so she could nap in peace.


    I need a vacation.  Or, maybe I just need the SIMS vacation.  I have been resisting the urge to buy this expansion pack because I really NEED to get the air-conditioning in my van fixed . . .


    Dalene asked, "who is Darrell?"  Everybody needs a Darrell.  He listens to my weird questions, never suggests that I've lost my mind, and lets me borrow books from his extensive library even though I keep them for months on end.  He describes himself the same way the heretic Pelagius (sp?) was described, as a short fat guy with a bad haircut.  I don't know if it's the description or his self-identification with a heretic that makes me laugh more.  He and his wife both occasionally read my site here.  AND, although he's a pastor, he has resisted the temptation to use me as a sermon illustration.


    Simone needs a Darrell.  She needs someone to convince her that it isn't what Tucker does that will make her a good dog, it's the way she responds to him.  I'd say that Darrell needs a Tucker, except I like the guy and I'd just as soon keep him as a friend.


    Darrell maintains a website on Radical Christianity.  Since I don't have a photo, that's the only way I can introduce him to you.

  • ...oh, I was afraid of this. I've been gone too long. Tucker has now taken voice. Simone needs Darryl, Darryl needs Tucker and no one needs Simone. Yes, a vacation, a long vacation does come to mind. MuSe

  • Sims vacation is good, I would rather have a real vacation though.   How is sims vacation??  I want to get it for my kids.  Is it appropriate for young ones?

  • Great entry, my dd Emma needs a Simone!  lol

  • ...geesh, glad you added pictures with nice big illustrations for this slow one. I thought Tucker was another dog. A vacation for me is way over due.
    ...thanks for your comment.  MuSe
     

  • Hi there. Cute pics and blog!  LOL

    Have a good weekend!

  • I love the new look - but I miss the rose!

  • WOW!!  Your site looks GREAT!!!  What genius did all this for you????  Oh ..... umm...... oh yeah - it was me!!! 

  • looks good!

    sail on... sail on!!!

  • ROFLMAO@Fugitive! hehehe Site looks great! I can't grow fushias all summer here either...I just buy a little pot, adore them while they are here, watch them dry up and fry the first hot day we have, and get new ones the next year. LOL It's not your fault! hehehe

  • Tucker's a live one, isn't he?  heh
    Bouncing while Nintendo-ing.  Whew.
    Super mom, you are, I think.
    You guys should come to San Antonio for a vacation.
    It's a great place to... well... it's hot here.  :)
    The kiddos would like SeaWorld & Six Flag's though.

  • Mmmm... I need a Darrell.

  • Cuties.

  • I have got the Sims Vacation and it is GREAT!   You can take the Sims kids on vacation and there's a ton of new interactions with the kids that are so cute!  I like it a lot better than Hot Date (with Hot Date there was so little to do with the Sims kids they became totally superfluous - not so with Vacation).

    Love the new look of your site, Terri! 

  • Thanks for linking Darrell's site. I've passed it on for discussion at the group I'll be missing on Monday - cause I'll be on vacation!! See you when I'm weary of Sea World, Legoland and all the good Mexican and Greek food I can eat!

  •    Cute critters, both of them.

  • If you get The Sims vacation expansion pack let me know what you think!  I am thinking about buying it too.

  • I'd bite the butt of whoever sat in my sunbeam, too.

  • That's our Tucker ... jumps while playing Nintendo, hops while eating, rolls on the floor and snorts like a pig with romantic intentions during church service.

    I love that kid. Don't understand him, but I love him anyway.

  • and what cute critters!

  • I love these little glimpses into the way things were...
