    "Simon just existing in this world is incredibly rewarding", what beautiful words to express her love for Simon.

    The use of old melodrama piano music at the start is brilliant, as this dog certainly fits the mood of an old drama queen (or king, in this case).

    Yup. I had a dog like this for 15 years. I loved him so hard even with his idiosyncrasies. He got me thru my 20's and 30's. My husband knew my feelings for Teddy so on our first date he brought Teddy a doggy cupcake from a dog bakery. We are still together with Patty our 14 year old dog. ❤😊

    I have a 15 year old Cairn terrier named Ginger, who also suffers with seizures. She was fine for her first 7 years of life. Then one day out of nowhere she had her first seizure. But she has lived a great life regardless , so don't let anyone tell you to put your dog down if they turn out to be an epileptic. And btw.. The little dog in this video is SOOO friggin cute!! 😍

    Oh my gosh, I found my ❤ dog at 23yo, I had only been working about 1 yr (after college). I volunteered at Houston humane bc I was still broke & didn’t think I could afford a dog, and I found my mini poodle, Angel. We were 2 peas in a pod. It was just us 2 for 9 months. She lived in 4 places w me, was w me when I was single then married, moved towns. My husband and I got married on same date I adopted her. She was the flower dog❤. We had just over 10 yrs together. She passed in 2015 & I still miss her so much. She overcame so much in her life. In 2009 she became a Tripawd, needed surgical repair of the other hip, lost a lot of skin on her torso. And before that she came from a puppy mill. I really miss her. She had such spirit.

    I had a wonderful cuddly "street dog" dumped into our property when she was a puppy. We loved her to bits. She was healthy for over 9 years, then one night she had a Gran Mal Seizure, was prescribed anti seizure medications by her Vet, but quickly went blind and became demented, finally dying after only 4 months. It was a very sad time for us, and we miss her friendly face all the time.
    A few weeks ago, an abandoned Tortoise-shell kitten, rejected by her mother cried all day in our neighbours yard. Thais don't like such colouration in cats, and the neighbour was quite happy for us to foster her, bottle feeding her every 3 hours or so. She's putting on weight and getting quite feisty now after 3 weeks. We expect our house to be lively with her scampering around soon, terrifying out elderly dog and 2 old cats. Nature always surprises us with leftovers ❤

    Simon reminds me of my Chihuahua girl I had for 16 years. She was never epileptic, but she was a puppy mill dog. I fell in love with her at first sight. She had a humpy back, crooked front legs, but neither bothered her. She was not only smart as a whip, had a beautiful temperament, but she also saved my life several times. Her existence was a benefit. She’s buried next to her cat brother who helped raise her. My girl and I were bonded so much that I just can’t bond with another dog though I’ve tried. You always know the right dog for you as you do when you first meet your next cat. They’re all special. You get not what you want but what you need. She needed Simon. I hope they both have a long and happy relationship.

There will be videos where Simon will take a break from his neighborhood watch duties just to make sure that she's okay. I just wish I could meet him and give him some love in person instead of being on the internet on another coastline.

      It's for this very reason that I've never gotten another dog. If my best friend required more care (and money) than I could provide, I could never take the "easy" way out.
      I was lucky with my first dog. I wasn't looking for one. I was caring for a friend's 6 month old border collie, and he adopted me, so I had him for life.
      Like in the video, getting a dog in your early 20s is wonderful, but unfortunately, you inevitably lose them (hopefully not before) your late 30s. Life is definitely better with a dog. 🐕
