Oscar's New Throne

Furever Mom Judy sent this adorable photo of CP boy Mulligan, now "my little Oscar man" ~ hanging out in his favorite spot.

And Judy sent a her own big smile too! Both are happy in Skillman, NJ.

Oscar is a city kid!

Just wanted to drop you a line now that summer is coming to a close and give you an update on Oscar. We had a great summer in Portland, lots of exploring and enjoying the new backyard. Oscar has adjusted very well and is definitely now a city dog...no shying away from loud trucks or anything. We went to to coast a few times as well and Oscar loves the beach...not so much the water but the sand, rolling around in seaweed etc. He had some troubles with his allergies this summer, one time ending up with an infected tail from biting it so much (hence the cone picture), but the scratching biting and flaky skin have been much better in the last week or so with the cooler weather. Overall he's a very happy little boy!

Hope you are both well.

Sarah and Oscar

Oscar's Gotcha Day Celebration

Well - I've been meaning to send an email all day but time just keeps getting away from me! Two years ago today, my mother, my cairn girl Ally and I drove from Denver to Albuquerque, NM to pick up a little boy named Biscuit. Okay - maybe he wasn't so little at 20 pounds! But he did fall instantly in love with my mom, he still adores her, and made pretty fast friends with Ally. Ally didn't mind him until she realized he wasn't leaving and then she was miffed at me for a while! Most days you can find her stealing his bone or snuggled up next to him. And as her vision has slowly started to fade - he seems to know it and makes sure she is okay.
Oscar has had his share of health issues and through it all, has become the biggest love bug I have ever seen. I said to my mom just yesterday - we should have named him Pinnocio because he is a real dog now. He is no longer afraid of big dogs (he had major fear agression when he came to live with me), he is no longer a door dasher and he will actually run up to meet new people instead of hiding behind his mom. Oscar, Ally and I would once again like to thank everyone that is a part of Col Potter. Each and every one of you has made it possible for my boy to be here with me today. The love we have shared is immeasurable. Angela in CO Some pictures of my boy. He isn't very expressive for the camera but if you have an open lap, he will spend all day http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=11ot4lt2.26i1titi&x=0&y=alv4g&localeid=en_US
