No Time For Oskar

My mom person has been busy doing important things so little old me & my blog have been neglected. I’m not talking to her.

She can try to get my attention,

but I give her a dose of my icy stare.

My people have to do VACATION soon, so I get to stay with Monnie (grandma person). Monnie doesn’t know how to compute on the computer, so my little blog will be even more neglected. I will get lots of great love from Monnie though. I even get people food when I’m there, even though I’m not supposed to. Grandma people rock!

Beef, It’s Whats For Dinner

I had to supervise my dad person making burgers yesterday. (Schnauzers are excellent supervisors, ask any of us.)

Waiting for the grill to warm up, might as well play a little ball.

Action shot!

Inspecting his hands for ~~left over beef~~ cleanliness.

OK, now the burgers are on, so we should play ball.

I turn my back for one second & everything gets smokey.

The burgers are done, now we can play ball! What do you mean you’re going to eat??

*sigh*

Proximity Award

I received this lovely award from Bruce the Cat. It says:

“This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY…nearness in space, time, and relationships!” In other words, “These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut,even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

Thank you Bruce, I feel very honored. Some of those words are very bit, but I do understand the part about being exceedingly charming!

I will pass this award on to:

My little (big) buddies JD & Max
Hamish (where have you been, Hamish?)
My new great dane friend, Honey
The dachshunds Oskar, Schatzi & Xena
The huge hearted ‘Splorin Wolfies
The brothers Bertie & Oliver
The beautiful Sasha
My fellow black mini schnauzer, Gus

These are all great doggie blogs, so please stop by & tell them hello!

Oskar Cooks!

I thought I could share some of my favorite recipes with you. All the mom bloggers do it, so I thought I might as well join in on the fun.

This is my favorite summer time treat.

Oskars Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt

1-32oz. container of vanilla yogurt
1 cup of peanut butter

1. Put the peanut butter in a microwave safe dish and microwave until melted.
2. Mix the yogurt and the melted peanut butter in a bowl.
3. Pour mixture into cupcake papers and freeze.

When my mom person makes it for me, she ends up eating some of it too, something about quality control she says. Ask your people to make you some, it’s yummy!

Playing Ball

Yesterday my mom person posted a video of me playing ball. The game I play is not fetch, but keep away. You can check out my video here.

I got to play in the rain with my dad person. It rocked!

So fast…

I’m almost a blur.

The standoff

Come & get me!

Look how cute I am even when I’m wet.

What do you mean by “wet dog smell”? Hey, where are you going?

Oskar’s Vlog

Oskar’s mom person here. Oskar wanted to show you all how he plays ball. (He’s hoping to distract you from that cat incident yesterday)

Oskar doesn’t play fetch with the ball, he plays keep away & who ever is playing with him is supposed to chase him around the yard, while he runs & barks at you.

I’m not sure why my voice sounds that way, but it’s really his sassiness that you’re all interested in anyway, right?
