Wordless (well, a few words) Wednesday - Oscar



Oscar - 24 July 2003 - 19 September 2009





Remembering you with love big fella.

Here is a typical story from Oscar's life.  It was Tessa's birthday and she was having a little party at our home with some friends.  We had all the food organised and were waiting for them to arrive.  Tess looks out the window and screams.  Oscar has a dead rat in his mouth!  Out I go, wrestle the rat away from him (it was totally gross), fling it as far over the fence as I can and rush inside to wash my hands.  When I come out, there is Tess feeding Oscar some marshmallows so he won't have "rat breath".  It was hilarious.  

You gave us love and laughs Oscar!

    If somebody isn't a dog lover then 2 things happen:

    1. The can't truly understand why that is a great story.
    2. They aren't living as great of a life as they COULD.

    Wonderful story!!

    Your friends,

    Murphy & Stanley

    What a perfect story! The perfect picture is #3 where Tessa (?) looks like she is being crushed by Oscar but has a great grin about it.

    Good Morning:
    What a beautiful great dane! It seems like the art of loving a dog is that when they are gone, a piece of them lives on in your heart.
