Having Fun With Oscar

Yes, he’s a handful but we have so much fun with him. Vince was fixing to go to bed last night and then he stopped and got down on the floor with Oscar. Vince said “He looks like he’s begging me to play with him one more time.” I’ve never seen a dog love to play as much as Oscar loves to play. He’s such a joy to be around. Going outside first thing in the morning these days . . neighbors can’t see us in the fence but they probably hear me laughing and think I’ve lost my mind. Oscar loves the cooler weather and he can’t stop running and chasing leaves in the morning. Yesterday it was raining and it didn’t bother Oscar at all. Last year, he loved the snow. For Rita to go outside in the rain, we have to carry her, we put her down and she does her business, we pick her up and bring her back in. If we let her walk, she’ll just keep trying to run back to the house and never do anything.

We called Speck a fair weather dog. He never wanted to go out in the rain or snow.

When we’re sitting on the floor with him, he’ll run up to us and kinda swing his back end around so it’s right up against us, then he’ll scoot his front end over so he’s as close as he can get to one of us.

The first thing Oscar does every morning is gather up all the bones and toys he can find and he puts them in the middle of the floor.

As much as I wanted a dachshund, I knew I would love whichever one we got but Oscar is so special. He’s just so funny and has such a neat personality. Even Vince admits that he loves him.

We got a good one . . I say that til he gets hold of my linen or floss. 🙂
