JD & Max Rock!

Two of my bestest bloggy buddies are JD & Max.  Schnauzer brothers that live in the UK.

They are currently hosting an auction for Blueberry to pay for her medical treatment and have held 2 auctions to help Shelby!

On top of being super busy with all of that, their female human, Clare sent me a Christmas present!

I can smell them!

Hey, that has a doggie on it!

Wowie, it’s a special kind of calender that you put treats into!  And look at these!

I’m not waiting for Christmas to try these out!  What’s that?

For the cats…I’ll share with them, I guess cause JD & Max are so generous.  I want a treat now!

Oh yes, the card, very nice.  I’d like a treat.

Now please!

I’m sitting nicely…

Oh nom nom nom, these are delicious.  They have excellent taste.

I’ve always heard that the English are very refined, nom nom.

Chloe refuses to eat for the camera, even though she & Moe were very happy with the duck treats!

My mom person says our floor isn’t that dirty, it’s just really old tile.  Yeah, whatever, show my cool calender!

Now we get to fill it with treats!

Thank you so much JD, Max & Clare.  You guys rock!

Don’t forget to stop by Blueberry’s Auction, you can get something nice for your person for the holidays & help Blueberry at the same time!

Blanket ID Tag Giveaway Winner!

 

We picked the winner of our Blanket ID tag.  Here’s the story in pictures.

My mom person wrote all of the names on slips of paper.

Why didn’t we use the random number generator?  Because my boy Jack has a top hat.  Top hats are perfect for drawing names out of, don’t you think?

My dad person picked out the winner.  (My dad person wants you all to know that he doesn’t spend all of his time on the couch, as my blog may make it seem, BOL!)

And our winner is Caren Gittleman of Cat Chat with Caren & Cody!
Congratulations to our winner & thanks to all of you who played along.

Friendly Friday ~ Meet Max!

Photobucket

Hello friends!  Sorry for the late post today.  Someone who left me alone all day yesterday & didn’t bring me any turkey was apparently too busy sleeping to get my Friendly Friday postie up.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Maximus!

He is a very good dog who is also an airedale terrier.  Well he thought he was a very good dog until this happened to him!

The dreaded cone of shame!

Please stop by Max’s blog and urge his people to relase him from his cone!  Don’t forget to tell them that Oskar sent you!

Frankie & Minna’s Thanksgiving Events

For Thanksgiving two great bloggers are hosting fun events.  Frankie Furter, Mayor of Blogville wants to know what we want to give our peoples for Christmas & the lovely Miss Minna Krebs wants to hear our adoption story.

Well for Christmas I’d like to get my boy John the new fancy-schmancy phone he would like, the HTC Evo

For my boy Jack I would like to get lots of pair of custom made Converse.

For my dad person I would like to get a wooden canoe that he has always wanted.

And for my mom person  I would like to get this cool book reading thingy called a Kindle.

 If I had the green papers I would buy all of these to make my people as happy as they always make me.

Now for my adoption story.

My people looked for a long time to come up with a doggie that was the right fit for the family.  After about a year of research they decided on a minature schnauzer!

My people didn’t really know about doggie rescues groups, as silly as that seems now.  They found a very reputable breeder, but didn’t have the funds to purchase a puppy.  Well my mom person called in on a radio show and won front row center seats to a Neil Diamond concert.  She was able to sell those on E-bay for enough money for a purebred schnauzer puppy.

4 Weeks Old

My mom was an all white miniature schnauzer who was bred with an all black miniature schnauzer.  She had 8 black babies!

My mom person originally wanted a girl puppy & wanted to name her Pansy.  All of the girl puppies were spoken for, so they picked me.  Since my dad person is German & schanuzers are German they decided to give me a German name & Oskar stuck!

So there you have it, the presents that I would get my people and the story of my adoption.  I hope you will all play along!  Don’t forget to stop by to thank Frankie & Minna Krebs for hosting such great Thanksgiving events.

Twisted Sleeping

I’ve been working on my sleeping positions.  We all know how important sleeping positions are and I think this is a good one.  Make sure you stretch before trying this advanced sleeping technique.

You notice that my head is going in a different direction than my body.

I think I’m ready for the 2012 Olympics plus the flashy box woman can’t disturb me!
