As an update - Oscar is off his antibiotics, and it seems as if all of his digestive issues have cleared up (we are still supplementing his huge meals of kibble with a little double-boiled white rice); they have cleared up so much that he's actually even better then before his "carpet-string is yummy but hurts coming out" episode.
Oscar is a big boy and has a lot of love to give. He loves a number of things: Rory (his golden-retriever girlfriend), food, toys, me and his mommy (sometimes he loves mommy too much - he does the Humpty-Dance with her!).
Here is a picture of Oscar as happy as can be after another one of his favorite things: a nice long walk of sniffing, marking his territory (he has finally started lifting his leg to pee!), meeting other dogs and people, and generally getting out and about:
Notice the big grin from ear to ear (or are you looking at his red-rocket, sicko!), either way a very happy (and content) Oscar.
Here is Oscar happy with his tennis ball, which he has recently learned to catch in his mouth after we throw it to him.
He likes to move as little as possible, so all he has to do is open his mouth for the ball to fall into place. He's like a very finicky baseball catcher who calls the pitch and refuses to move his glove if the pitcher misses the mark.
As mentioned in previous posts, Oscar loves sticks:
Do not disturb Oscar when chewing on his stick...
Here, I've distracted him with some kibble to get his attention...
No matter, the stick is better...
And he digs right back in.
Finally, Oscar loves to lounge on the cool wooden floor and watch TV (he really likes the Dog Whisperer)
Good-bye for now.
