meet oscar

a needy, emotional wetting, separation anxiety Wreck...

ryan bought oscar right before he left on his mission leaving his parents to raise him. the poor pup was so distraught when ryan left that the vet had to put him on puppy Prozac(yes..there is such a thing)..that's when he was diagnosed with separation anxiety. haha..oh oscar.

he sleeps with us every night. whines at the door if it's closed or until he's lifted onto the bed with us..no matter if we're already dead asleep or not. upon this..he insists upon sleeping between ryan and i. (something i do not let happen). he knows the drill now. if he's in between us just chillin before bed time, he knows he'll be moved to the other side of ryan for the remainder of the evening.

Among the MANY quirks Oscar possesses one is that he has to have his morning cheese. YES. a kraft singles slice. He will whine and beg whoever is the first to wake up in the morning until they give him his cheese. Oscar also has something we call the "happy scratch". On occasion, we let oscar join us on outings that don't require going inside a public center such as the grocery, target, movies, etc... as soon as he's let in the car he begins his "happy scratch"-both paws to the rug and scratches fervently(we don't let it happen for long).

Oscar LOVES the ocean. When he joins us on boating outings he HAS to ride on the rail of the boat. Luckily, we have him on a tight leash or he'd commit "puppy suicide" and jump right off the boat going fifty miles an hour(or whatever we're going).

I will emphasize..although, he might be part of our family we do not consider him our child. he is NOT a child, even though sometimes we think he might be handicap..it's probably just that he is a puppy stuck in a middle-aged mans body.

Oh Oscar...
