Here's what the humans have to say about me:
SIMON--OUR "LIFE IS GOOD" PUP-- HAPPY--PLAYFUL--SOOOO SMART"!!!! SIMON IS A GORGEOUS, 1 YR. OLD, 55 POUND, BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX PUP. WE FEEL AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH SIMON THAT THE MIX IN THIS PUP IS "GREAT". THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE WHEN YOU SEE SIMON IS HOW BEAUTIFUL HE TRULY IS. HIS COAT IS "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK ACCENTED WITH GLACIER WHITE HIGHLIGHTS ON HIS FACE, INCLUDING TWO ADORABLE DOTS OVER HIS EYES, AND WHITE HIGHLIGHTS ALSO ON HIS LEGS AND CHEST. THE TWO COLORS WHEN COMBINED ON HIS CHEST ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE FEATHERS ALSO CALLED "TICKING". HIS FACE IS SO ADORABLE YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS GUY THE MINUTE HE LOOKS AT YOU. SIMON'S FACED IS ETCHED IN A JET BLACK "MASK", ADORABLE!!! . HE ALSO HAS SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES WE HAVE SEEN. THEY ARE A RICH, DARK, CHESTNUT COLOR WITH A PLAYFUL, INQUISITIVE BUT ALSO GENTLE EXPRESSION. THEY TRULY SEEM TO SPARKLE LIKE A MILLION STARS WHEN SIMON FIRST SEES YOU. THIS PUP'S MARKING ARE SO GORGEOUS HE ACTUALLY LOOKS HAND PAINTED. NOT ONLY A BEAUTIFUL GUY, THERE IS HOWEVER A GREAT DEAL MORE TO SIMON THEN JUST A PRETTY FACE, ALTHOUGH HIS FACE TRULY IS PRETTY!!! THE LABRADOR RETRIEVER IS ONE OF THE MOST INTELLIGENT BREEDS. THEY ARE HIGHLY VERSATILE POSSESSING THE ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE ON ANY TASK AND JOB GIVEN THEM AND THIS IS SIMON. SIMON IS A PUP THAT IS EAGER TO LEARN, LEARNS EXTREMELY FAST AND DELIGHTS IN PLEASING. IN FACT SIMON HAS COMPLETED AN 8 WEEK COURSE IN OBEDIENCE TRAINING, KNOWING THE COMMANDS SIT-STAY-COME AND SIMON IS A PUP WHO THRIVES BUT MOST OF ALL ADORES THE CHALLENGE OF TRAINING. THIS TRAINING ONLY GOES TO COMPLETE THE PACKAGE FOR THE PUP OF A LIFETIME. SIMON, BEING A YOUNG PUP, IS NOT A COUCH POTATO, LAID BACK, NAP ALL DAY KIND OF GUY. THERE ARE TOO MANY FUN PLACES TO GO, TOO MANY THINGS TO DO AND SIMON IS READY TO TAKE THEM ALL IN. HE IS ALSO "MR. PERSONALITY" AND NEVER MEETS A STRANGER. SIMON WOULD ADORE THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF A "LET'S GO" OWNER. SIMON'S TRUE HAPPINESS IS BEING WITH THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE HIM. HE ALSO ADORES THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS SMALL, MEDIUM OR LARGE. SIMON ONLY HAS ONE REQUEST THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME "LET'S GO HAVE SOME FUN" ATTITUDE SIMON DOES, NAP ALL DAY COUCH POTATO DOGS JUST NOT SIMON'S CUP OF TEA..(CATS HOWEVER ARE ANOTHER MATTER AND WE HAVEN'T CONVINCED SIMON THAT CATS DON'T WANT TO ROMP AND PLAY WITH HIM SO A HOME WITHOUT CATS IS PROBABLY BEST). WHATEVER YOUR DAY CALLS FOR IS FINE WITH SIMON JUST AS LONG AS HE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION. TALK ABOUT A GREAT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY, JUST SAY THE WORD "WALK" AND SIMON IS AT THE DOOR, EYES SPARKLING, TAIL WAGGING AND WE BET IF SIMON COULD FIND A WAY TO PUT HIS HARNESS ON HE WOULD. THIS PUP IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND LOVES BUT MOST OF ALL NEEDS DAILY EXERCISE. THIS HAPPY PUP WILL MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP AND A THREE MILE WALK OR RUN WOULD BE AS THEY SAY A WALK IN THE PARK FOR OUR STAR ATHLETE. DON'T SHOW SIMON A BALL UNLESS YOU HAVE TIME TO PLAY HIS FAVORITE GAME "FETCH". HE WILL RETRIEVE(REMEMBER HE'S PART RETRIEVER) BRING HIS BALL OR TOY BACK AND GIVE YOU HIS "THROW IT AGAIN" LOOK HE WILL PLAY FETCH TIL YOU OR YOUR ARM GIVES OUT. AT DAY'S END AFTER YOU HAVE SPENT THE DAY TAKING LONG WALKS WITH SIMON, RUNNING ERRANDS(HE ADORES CAR RIDES) AND JUST ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY WHEN SIMON COMES INTO HIS HOME HE CONTINUES TO SHINE, HOUSE TRAINED AND CRATE TRAINED. WHEN YOU RELAX ON THE SOFA TO READ OR WATCH A MOVIE YOU WILL FIND SIMON CURLED UP AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET OR ON THE SOFA WITH YOU IF ALLOWED. HE WILL SNUGGLE IN AND ROLL OVER ASKING FOR HIS FAVORITE THING A BELLY RUB. SIMON WILL HAVE A LOOK OF HAPPINESS AND CONTENTMENT, HE IS WITH HIS FAMILY AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS TO HIM. JUST BEING WITH YOU IS SIMON'S TRUE HAPPINESS. AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH SIMON WE FEEL THAT THE PERFECT HOME FOR HIM WOULD BE WITH AN ACTIVE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE, OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER CHILDREN WHO ARE ON THE GO AND WANT A HAPPY "LET'S GO" COMPANION TO TAKE ALONG. SIMON IS NOT A CITY, CONDO OR SMALL BACK YARD KIND OF PUP. SIMON NEEDS AN OWNER WHO HAS LAND IN A COUNTRY SETTING WITH A BIG FENCED YARD WHERE SIMON COULD SPEND HIS DAYS CHASING BALLS, EXPLORING, RUNNING, STRETCHING THOSE GORGEOUS LEGS JUST ENJOYING THE DAY ENJOYING LIFE. THIS POTENTIAL FOR THIS PUP IS HUGE!!!!!. HE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" SO SMART, AND NEEDS AN OWNER THAT IS WILLING TO SPEND THE TIME TO TEACH, TRAIN, EXERCISE AND WATCH THIS OUTSTANDING PUP SHINE. IF THE COMPANION YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE IS ONE THAT IS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, HAPPY, ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT EVERY DAY, BEYOND BEAUTIFUL AND A PUP WHO LIVES TO DEVOTE HIS LIFE TO THOSE HE LOVES THEN LOOK NO FURTHER SIMON IS YOUR GUY. ONCE SIMON GIVES HIS FRIENDSHIP AND LOYALTY IT IS GIVEN FOR LIFE!!!! THIS IS ONE OUTSTANDING PUP!!!!
