SO YOU WERE EXPECTING TO SEE
A CAT ON WORLD LION DAY?
OR MAYBE A LION?
OK THERE ARE YOUR LIONS
AND HERE ARE SOME MORE...
Ok, there is a cat there too, but YOU tell ME
WHO LOOKS MORE LIKE A LION?
(I had to check my camera to be sure that the photo on the right above WAS Levi, even I was shocked at how huge he has become. That was taken outside the Vet when Levi went to be groomed)
I REST MY CASE
ABOUT WORLD LION DAY
"World Lion Day is an annual observance that takes place on August 10. This day is an opportunity to celebrate the king of the jungle and raise awareness about its well-being and conservation. On this day you can voice concern about the threats faced by lions such as poaching, habitat destruction, human-lion conflict."
TODAY IS ALSO NATIONAL SPOIL YOUR DOG DAY
Yes, you should (and we do!), spoil your dog (and any pet), EVERY DAY but the top "spoiling" offender at our home would be my husband, Lenny. The photo above was taken when we were on our way home from Ohio with Levi for the first time. The spoiling from Dad started that second!
Levi does things with Lenny that he doesn't (and would NEVER) do with me (because he knows there are things I just won't allow). One of them is that Levi will do this annoying whining/crying when Lenny is in another room. (I heard from the man who is the daddy of Levi's brother, Stormy, that Stormy also does the annoying crying/whining, and Levi's breeder said that Levi's mother used to whine and cry when she wanted to see her puppies, so...maybe he has a good excuse to be whining/crying...he learned it from his Mama)....
Levi will also bark at Lenny until he takes him out (for trips outside that HAVE NOTHING to do with potty breaks because he immediately wants to come back in. With Lenny being home for the summer this can happen at least 50 times a day. ANNOYING!!!!)
Our weather isn't supposed to be that great today (severe storms are coming), so we can't take Levi to a pet store or to the park or anywhere today to "spoil" him more, and he has yet to eat people food. (We are holding off on that as long as we can), otherwise I would make him a burger like I used to do for Dakota.
So, since EXTRA spoiling can't take place, we'll just stick with our usual a zillion times a day hugs and kisses.....oh and maybe I will try and yell at Levi a little bit less.......(like THAT will ever happen!)
Ok, so I lied, I guess it will!
I gotta admit, I was expecting a cat...or a lion...but I love the Levi spin! I can understand why he has Lenny wrapped around his paws! BOL. Love, lion roars, and purrs from Deb and the Zee/Zoey gang.
ReplyDeletethanks! It IS a cat AND dog blog now and since Levi actually looks like a Lion and Roary doesn't.........there you go!!!! :)
DeleteLevi you DO look like a lion! A very handsome and very grown up one.....where has the time gone? Seems like yesterday you were a tiny pup. Well both of you deserve to be spoiled rotten JUST like Sammy was and Teddy is!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
His breeder now calls him a Shetland Pony lol......will have to wait for Shetland Pony Day now lol!!!!
DeleteWe're lucky we get spoiled every day too. Our dad also spoils us more than our mom. You gals can be strict!
ReplyDeleteHa!!! I love it! You are sooooooo right!!!!
DeleteThat was a fun post and we love your lion mane Levi! Hey Roary, I know you sure love being spoiled too!
ReplyDeletethank you!!! But...Roary says he sure isn't spoiled since I didn't even blog about International Cat Day! Oh noooooo!! Poor Roary! (yeah, you know he truly IS spoiled! Roary is my little "Marshmallow Boy" :)
DeleteLevi really does look like a lion! What a cute puppy dog he is . . . we used to call all dogs "puppy dogs" no matter how grown up they are . . . and awwww, love all the pictures but especially those of Levi being "spoiled"!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Thank you!!!!!!
DeleteI wonder, is there a World Pelican day?
ReplyDeleteyes there is and I just sent you info about it LOL LOL LOL!!!
DeleteLevi you really look good and we aint Lion! MOL Thanks for bringing this day to attention. We sure hope the world works harder on saving our big beautiful wildlife like lions! Purrs to all
ReplyDeleteOMG you are too funny!! "we aint LION" lol!! Wish I had thought of that!
DeleteYou really have a lion’s mane, Levi ! It looks like "Spoil your dog day" is every day at your home, MOL ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteAw, such great shots. Lots of cuteness. Tons of cuteness.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. Scritches to the boys. xoxo ♥
I am glad Levi is thoroughly spoiled. XO
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with spoiling our babies every single day :) It's scorching hot here, I absolutely despise it, but Mudpie wants to lay in the open back door and I let her in spite of it making the AC work even harder.
ReplyDeleteWow! Levi is growing up to be one good looking dog!
ReplyDeleteYou may look more like a lion than your feline brother, but we know you are a super adorable puppy. Hope you got spoiled rotten today.
ReplyDeleteLevi the Lion certainly has a nice ring to it! :)
ReplyDeleteLevi's ruff sure does resemble a lion mane!! Benji has a bit of aa ruff, but he 's no lion,LOL! Dalton thinks he is, he has to threaten everything he sees that is not to his liking including hubby...sheesh...
ReplyDeleteAnd hubby spoils them both. Way more than I do. Can't figure that one out at all.
Those two come to get snuggles and pets even if I go to the bathroom...they'll whine and carry on if I close the door...
And sometimes I think those two eat better than we do. Spoiled?? You bet! LOL!
Aww, such a cutie! Just wish he loved you guys more. 🤣#toocute
ReplyDeleteLevi you are a lucky dog, and I bet you get spoiled every day whether you realize it or not. You do have a lion mane it looks like in these photos!
ReplyDeleteLevi could definitely be mistaken for a lion. He has a gorgeous "mane".
ReplyDeletethank you!!! Even his breeder says he's gifted in the fur department lol.....he isn't even a year old yet.....having that kind of mane at such a young age is unreal!
DeleteLevi may not be a lion but his gorgeous floofy mane is marvelous! Oh, and we totally get the special treatment with different parents thing here. We just don't say it out loud so mom doesn't catch on. Oops, did I just give something away? Oh well, anyway, hats off to your zillion times a day hugs and kisses!!
ReplyDeleteLevi is one lucky lion to be spoiled by you!
ReplyDeleteAll the lions are adorable, the regal and the fuzzy!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely deserve to be spoiled- and Levi certainly has the majestic fluffiness of a lion!
