A Pleasant Oscar Surprise

I had been out working in the garden most of the day. I was so tired and hot and dirty. I came in, took a shower, collapsed onto the sofa to look at a couple of things on the computer. Oscar scrounged around and found something – a plastic wrapper of some sort and he had it in his mouth wanting me to chase him to get it. I was too tired!

When we’re outside and I throw the ball for him, I put my hand down, kinda like a cup, and say “bring it to me” and he will put the ball in my hand and, of course, he gets a treat.

I was sitting on the sofa and to hopefully keep from having to get up and chase him, I put my hand down and said “bring it to me” and he did! He deposited that piece of plastic right in my hand. I couldn’t believe it. Of course, I had to get up anyway and give him a treat.

It’s so nice when he shows a bit of maturity and does the right thing.

Just now, Vince took Rita out and I hadn’t even noticed he brought her back and took Oscar out. Yes, I am that tired. I heard Oscar barking and wasn’t even sure where he was so I got up to check. Vince was coming in with him and Oscar knew he was fixing to be fed and he was barking for Vince to hurry up. I was laughing at Oscar standing there trying to be patient. I said “He’s so cute. It’s his personality that makes him even cuter.” Vince said “Kinda like me, huh?” Good wife . . I said “yes, dear!” 🙂
