I know, but some people asked how you were doing.

“Oh really? My fans?”

Ha ha, I guess so Simon. Yes.

“Do they want to see my paws?”

I bet they do, yes.

“I better clean them up then. First I lick them.”

“Then I bite them. Would you like me to clean your paws, too?”

No, not… Well okay I guess.
lick
“First I lick them.”

bite
“Then I bite them!”

Ouch!
no
You better stop biting, Simon. I am pointing at you menacingly!

play
“Okay let’s play!”
Good idea, Simon.

Simon is doing pretty well since Meelee passed away.
si
She was sick for so long that they didn’t really play or even hang out together much anymore.

Plus, Simon has always been in his own world.
siguy

Right, Simon?
right
“Huh?”

“. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .”

Simon is a little bit rashy because he was eating Meelee’s food while she was really sick. Now that she is gone he is back to his allergy-free food and should be feeling less itchy in a few weeks. Other than that he is doing well. He comes out to the aviary every evening with me to visit the ducks and he enjoys that a lot.

Overall he seems very content, and that is good.
