Oscar

So...it has been almost a month since we "fostered" Wildfire. Needless to say, he did not go back, and we signed the adoptin papers two weeks ago. We have decided to call him Oscar. He is a great dog, very loving and wanting to be loved. If we let him, he wants to be a lap dog as you can see from the photo below. Sarah is the only one who lets him do this, and he knows it, so he milks it for all it's worth. What a face! When everyone else is at work, Oscar is my shadow. Wherever I am, Oscar is there, too. We have beds in strategic places about the house, but if Oscar can't find a bed, he just plops down anyway, even on the tile floor. When I'm working on the computer, this is what I usually see.
The photo is a little dark as I took it without using the flash. That's my constant companion at rest. Oscar will stay there as long as I'm there, too.
He does have one funny habit. He likes to steal things out of the trash. Not food, because he can't get to the food trash, but things like used tissues or dryer sheets or used swiffer sheets. We have to close the doors to the bathrooms so we don't find surprises in the middle of the living room floor. Oh yea, he also likes balls of yarn.

Oscar is GORGEOUS - so glad you kept him (was there ever any doubt!) We have a saluki who thinks he's a lap-dog, so I sympathise - heavy & bony! Ours is a bin-diver too, and also punishes me for going out by raiding my yarn stash for the most expensive balls.......

Oh no - not the yarn! :-)

I love Oscar's story and I'm so glad he found a home! It looks like he's thriving too.
