De-wackifying, Day 1

Simba came home last night, and me, Zoe, and Bear all said hi.

He was a little nervous about things, and he got a little grumpy, but he went to bed like he was supposed to, and we all got a good night's sleep.

Mom was real happy that he had a clean crate this morning, and he peed and pooped outside. He was nicer to us this morning, too, except for grumping at Bear a little when he walked by Simba's crate while Simba was chewing on one of his toys.

Mom has been working with him about food for the past couple of weeks, so while we all ate our breakfast in our spots, she took Simba out in the kitchen to have his.

Mom started with the bowl in her lap, and Simba had to sit down and wait until she was ready to give him his breakfast. She fed him most of the food a few bits at a time, with him sitting and waiting each time, and he had to be gentle when he took it out of her hand. Then mom left a little bit of food in the bowl, and added a few bits at a time to the bowl by hand.

Mom says he was really good - didn't get growly or crazy or anything.

She says he's still a little unsure about everything around here, but she still has all her fingers so it's a pretty good start so far.

Me, I'm just chilling in the living room and taking a nap on the couch.
