Oscar was born August 1, 2008 to Zena and Billy Bad Ass of Gittingers. Oscar is a purebred American Bulldog. White with fawn markings and blue eyes.
He was brought home September 19, 2008, exactly 7 weeks of his birth.
The first night, he slept great with very minimal crying. He was very timid and shy at first, but a few days later, he was romping around chewing on everything!
He likes to play for about an hour then sleeps for about 2. In the morning, Christina plays with Oscar until 9am, then leaves for work. Around 11:30, Adina or Noah comes by to play and to feed him lunch. They return around 2:30 for more fun. Chris comes home from work around 5:15 and feeds him and plays with Oscar until Christina comes home at 7pm.
We hope Oscar feels a lot of love. Sometimes, it's frustrating because he's starting to discover new things and then likes to chew them to death. But, he's so cute... it's hard to resist his beautiful face.
We hope his eyes stay blue and that he always remains this playful. He's smart : learned to go up and down two steps from the back door. He also knows the back door means bathroom, but he doesn't always make it there in time. But he tries. He loves the leash, but doesn't know it's for walking yet, and loves to play tug on it by himself. Tennis balls are a new thing as well.
Adina told us to expose Oscar to 100 new things in 100 days.
So that's the purpose of this blog - to keep a running diary of what Oscar learns, meets, and how he reacts.
September 19th: New parents
September 20th: New toy- squeaky red bone from Wil and Liz; met Wil and Liz, and Darlene
September 21st: New toy - squeaky little blue hippo from Wil and Liz
September 22nd: Met Adina and Noah, 1st trip to Dr. Wilkenson at Mt. Airy
September 23rd: First day home alone during the day. New toy: tennis ball and kong with peanut butter
September 24th: Kong with peanut butter and about 6 pieces of Blue Buffalo kibble
When is 100 days? In korea, parents throw a big celebrations for the baby's 100 days birthday. They get dressed up in hanboks and stuff... maybe we should do that and take a pic. And use them for christmas cards.
Just got an email from Adina about Queenie's Pet's bbq in October! Yeah! I hope we can go!
Oscar is finally sleeping - he cried for a bit, but is now sleepy... we removed the blanket from the crate because he was peeing on it and it was starting to stink anyways. He really needs a bath soon...
Some new pics
