I’m Still Here!

Wow, I’ve been gone a long time. My mom person was in the hospital again, 9 days this time. That’s a very long time in dog years!

When she’s in the hospital she takes this book that our friends JD & Max & their female human Clare sent. She uses it to track her medicines & to remember me & all of our bloggy friends.

Photobucket

While she was gone I was kind of lost. I’m not used to being here without her & I don’t care for it one bit!

I tried chewing on a toy.

Photobucket

My heart just wasn’t in it.

Photobucket

I did a partial tail-ectomy, but didn’t finish it. Totally unlike me!

Photobucket

I even hung out with Chloe waiting for her to come home.

Photobucket

Don’t tell anyone.

Photobucket

I’m so relieved that she’s home now & things can go back to normal.

Photobucket

I made her promise to spend part of the afternoon going around to see all of you!

* For any of you in the United States, my mom person is giving away 5 hardcover book by Madeleine Wickham who is some type of famous “chick-lit” author. I don’t know what chicks have to do with books, but click over to Read, Review, Repeat to enter.

What A Week!

Camera Critters
We’ve had quite a week here in Oskarville! The heat was in the high 90’s until yesterday so not too many walkies or playing.

My mom person had her birthday yesterday. My dad person got her a new computer that should work full time instead of only sometimes like the old one.

My oldest boy John got my mom person a giant blue monkey.

When I say giant blue monkey, I don’t mean a large blue monkey.
When I say giant blue monkey, I don’t mean an oversized monkey.
When I say giant blue monkey, I mean giant blue monkey.
Here is my mom person & I in the backyard with the giant blue monkey.

Photobucket

The giant blue monkey thought about trying to get my octopus toy, but luckily for me, he’s not very quick!

Photobucket

Here is my youngest boy Jack with the giant blue monkey.

Photobucket

My mom person says that for reference I should tell you that Jack is 5 feet, 7 inches tall.

There is a hummingbird feeder outside of the window where my person sits at her computer, and she keeps seeing hummingbirds, but can’t get a good picture of them. They’re too quick & wily for her.

Here’s a drawing I made of what it would look like if my mom person could get a picture.
Photobucket

(In the picture the hummingbird doesn’t have any wings, cause they flutter too fast to really be seen!)

Camera Critters!

Hi Friends! Missing Oskar here! We’ve had more computer troubles. Who’s in charge of these things? Aren’t they supposed to make our lives easier?
Anyway, this is a party weekend here at Casa De Oskar cause it’s my dad person’s birthday!!! He’s 41 which seems old to me, but my mom person is almost 43 so we’re not allowed to say that 41 is old. Am I the only one who doesn’t “get” people?
Here’s me and my dad person.
Photobucket
Of course Chloe saw the camera come out & decided she should be included too, hmph!
Photobucket
For his birthday my dad person got 3 flowering trees. My oldest boy John works at a garden center so he arranged very nice trees and even planted 2 of them. The 2 he planted were in the front yard, so I was not allowed to go out & supervise! Who in the house knows more about digging holes than me, ya know? Anyway you can see one of the trees & John & his girlfriend Leighanne.
Photobucket
After my dad person got home yesterday & saw the 2 new trees that John planted he went into the back yard & saw the third tree that hasn’t been planted yet. Look how huge it is, it’s way taller than our motorhome!
Photobucket
Look how huge around the bucket is. My dad person has to dig a hole that deep & twice as big around!!
Photobucket
He started on digging the hole last night. Finally I can supervise! Wait up!
Photobucket
Okay, my dad person wants the grass clumps in one pile and the plain dirt in another pile. I’m not really feelin’ that method. You can see that I’ve spread out grass clumps over a larger area. It’s really more effective this way.
Photobucket
Some of the grass clumps are tricky and and must be wrestled into submission.

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket
Whew. Wait…what are you doing??
Photobucket
After all of that work I did, they filled it in! I guess my dad person hit something called roots & has to dig a new hole. I tried to tell them that once you get a hole dug, you don’t fill it in, you just move onto the next hole, but no one listens to little old Oskar *sigh*.

It’s Hippity Season!

Camera Critters

Hmm, wonder what’s in that bucket?

Photobucket

OMD! Hippities!! 2 hippities!!

Photobucket

Hmm, I wonder if the Hippities can come out of the bottom of the bucket?

Photobucket

I guess not. Here’s a video. (My mom person says watch my nubbin’ tale in this video)

All I want is to play with the hippities! I’m not allowed to cause after I put them in my mouth I froth & throw up. They say it like that’s a bad thing!

Finally, Some Of My Camping Adventures!

Camera Critters


My mom person is back from the hospital, again! She thanks you for all of your prayers and well wishes.

As I mentioned we went camping a few weeks ago, so here’s some of my fine photojournalism from that trip.

I checked out the navigation seat to make sure we were ready to go.

Photobucket

I checked to make sure our motor home monster, Ned was ready to go. Every motor home has a monster doesn’t it?

Photobucket

First of all my mom person & I have to sit in our chair & survey things. We spent some time pondering whether this thing on the ground was a scuzzy grape, or just a rock.

Photobucket

We pondered for a couple of hours before we decided to move and check it out. Hmm, just a rock. Good thing I didn’t eat it. (Hear that Dexter, no rock eating!)

Photobucket

Then we saw what we thought was Brutus’ Big Earl pull up!

Photobucket

I suited up to go explore it by putting on my exploring scarf from JD & Max.

Photobucket

Really dapper aren’t I?

Photobucket

It even has my name in heiroglyphics, in case there are any heiroglyphic reading people here!

Photobucket

Well we didn’t find Brutus or his people, so I guess it wasn’t Big Earl. Next I settled in with my dad person for a rest after our hike.

Photobucket

Look what I spotted…a rare sighting of the wild Kong. My animal instincts took over and this wild Kong didn’t stand a chance!

Photobucket

Just as I laid down for another rest you really won’t believe what I saw.

Photobucket

A wild forest cat!

Photobucket

I camoflauged myself and set off to keep this wild hunter off of my lot.

Photobucket

One bark from me & he ran for the hills!

Photobucket

Evening was upon us, and it was time for my rest. I thought I’d better sit with my mom person so she could protect me I could protect her from any other wild varmints.

Photobucket

Even though we made a campfire it got cold. You can see my woozley little head at the end of my mom persons blanket.

Photobucket

When the night was done & I had sniffed my final Pee-mail it was time to crash. I didn’t know where my people planned on sleeping, but I for one was set!

I’ve been so happy to have spring here! I spent all day on Thursday out in the yard. It was 82 degrees here in Michigan. Perfect!

Photobucket

Yesterday started out o.k., but by evening it had dropped to 44 degrees! I settled back into my winter routine very quickly.

Photobucket

Yep, snuggled up under my quilt with everything but my schnozzle snuggled under the blanket! Come back spring!

Not much happened this week at my house. My mom person went into the hospital so the rest of us were waiting for her to feel better and come home.

My mom person is home now, but it was a long week. I’m off to visit my friends to make me smile!

See what all the Camera Critters are up to this week.

In my last post I mentioned how I got 3 baths in one day because our snow has turned to mud.

How, Oskar, you might ask, could you get that muddy 3 times in one day? Well the answer is simple. Someone has to protect the fortress! Look at what I’m dealing with around here…

My dad person & Sock Monkey sleeping. Yes Sock Monkey sleeps with his eyes open, it’s creepy at first, but you get used to it.

Chloe, doing what Chloe usually does. Well she also eats too much & vomits a lot, but nobody wants to see that.

And Moe being so lazy she’s practically dripping off of the couch.

So who, I ask you, is supposed to patrol the yard??

Keeping Busy

Camera Critters

Hey friends! I’ve been gone again because my mom person’s computer is not cooperating!

I got this toy for Christmas. It was a perfectly good ball except for the odd appendages hanging off of it.

As a schnauzer of great intellect I knew I had to fix my new ball.

Now it’s PERFECT!

Right?

I’ve Missed All Of You!

Hey, It’s me, Oskar! Since my mom person and grandma (monnie) have decided to stop being sick now (they are both great, monnie has no need of radiation or chemo for her cancer! It’s all gone!) I can get back to the important business of blogging.

While I was gone winter came!

You can see the snow is quite deep, about 6 inches.

Look at me flying over the snow!

Once I got in I decided to lay on my mom person’s feather pillow. I didn’t want to get my schnauzer pillow from JD & Max wet! (I’ll be posting all about my fantastic goodies from JD & Max tomorrow.)
