Thansgiving!

Oscar and I went to Eveleth for Thanksgiving this year. We had a good time with Martha's family there also. Oscar and Henry were fairly well behaved. They could not decide who was Alpha dog at Grandma's house, however and that meant both of them tried to be.

The cats, however, pretty much stayed away until Henry went home. They can only handle one dog at a time. Hobbes was a bit more brave this time, hanging around a hissing at the dogs, but never near enough for them to sniff him.

Oscar's new toy

Oscar has a new toy: Uglydog. He likes to chew and lick and sleep with his uglydog. Aren't they cute?

He still has his helper monkey, but he seems to be hiding these days.Oscar drags him out every so often, but he has a secret spot for him that I haven't found yet.

New Curtains!

Martha, Ailee and Dan came over this weekend to help me put up my curtains. It took a longer time than expected because I did not have the right size screws, but Dan brought some and I now have curtains. I am glad Martha & mom talked me into the rust decorative style to go along with the tan. Its nice to have a little more privacy.

Oscar was quite a troublemaker when they were over, however, and he spent most of the visit in the bathroom. He kind of freaked Ailee out, and was just too wound up and would not calm down. I think Ailee being tired and acting scared just got him going, which scared her more. We are going to have to work on his behavior more, because he is going to stay with them when I am in London, and he has to behave himself for it to work.

Traveling

Oscar and I went to visit my parents last weekend. He has become so much more comfortable with them. He no longer sticks by my side, but actually jumps on the couch and snuggles with my mom! I guess he must miss snuggle time with Mandy. Here is a picture of him in our new house.

Bedtime

This is Oscar telling me it is time for bed. It is a little early for me, but he is already sound asleep. I guess its been a hectic day with a visit from my parents, lots to bark about today, which must be tiring.

Settling in

Oscar has been a very tired dog lately. He and I walk 3x and day and it just takes so much out of him. He prefers sleeping on the couch or bed, but the rug will do too....We are settling into our new home and he is adjusting to his new routine. It took him a few days to get used to the leash, but now he is ready to go when I get up in the morning and when I get home from work.

Condo!

I closed on my condo today. What an exciting day. I am so happy that I have been able to actually find a place that suits me and that allows dogs. I think Oscar will love the park that is nearby.
