One thing that worked were any chews - at this point, we were allowing Oscar to gnaw on shark cartiladge (supposed to prevent cancer, and other cool stuff), and it smells like fish, and Oscar and Rory both loved them. So we got two, one for each, but they each just wanted the same one each time!
Here is Rory gnawing away and Oscar looking sad....
I did finally get them to calm down... they eventually learned how to sleep on the couch , but I had to keep them separated. Rory is a much more delicate sleeper. I think Oscar's loud snoring kept her awake all week... sorry.
Here there are on the couch with noone between them... I swear, if I leave them alone just for 1 minute, they figure out a way to play together instantly.
Around this time, Oscar and Rory were both losing baby teeth and teething. This is Oscar's first lost baby tooth. You can see the hole.
Here is Oscar pretending to be sleeping, with Rory in the background.
A random picture from Adina of Queenie's Pets... I think Oscar was being naughty and digging!!!
But I still love him...
His head is SO big! I just make up at least 30% of his total weight!

Bat or dog? Bird?
Normal looks so much HUGER compared to Oscar! Same age... Normal is a mastiff.
For Christmas, we all packed up the car and drove 8 hours to Ohio to see Chris' family. Oscar had the whole back seat to himself, with his new doggy bed (which is super comfy). It took him a total of 20 minutes for him to finally lie down and sleep.
Which he did for the rest of the trip. We had to drag him out of the car for potty breaks and lunch.
He was usually like this...
Jealous, I wish I could've slept like that in the car!
Oscar's bottom lip has been sticking out a lot lately... more often when he's tired or has been napping. It's so cute. It makes him look like he's pouting.
All the pictures for now!
He did great on the car ride to Ohio, and wonderful at their home. He didn't get much of a chance to play with Sophie, my mother in law's dog, but once the snow finally melted in Ohio, he did get a chance to run around their huge backyard.
We also went to his first official dog park yesterday. There must have been at least 10 other dogs at one point, and he got along with everyone, including humans. Sometimes, it was sad to see all the dogs playing, and Oscar in the middle by his lonesome, just waiting patiently for someone to give him food.
