* Ten years ago today, a puppy was born into this world…
Notice the union logo.
* He’s always been such a cute little guy…
* Oscar has also been a very happy puppy his entire life. It’s like having a cartoon character around the house…
* This video was featured on the Orvis website because he loved his new bed so much…
* At one time, I posted photos of Oscar almost every week. To this day, people recognize him on the street. Sometimes, they even ignore me as they fawn over the little guy….
* He loves everyone and has such a big heart. Here he is with his buddy, the late Steve Schnorf, just before we all went out for a cruise on the pontoon boat…
* Oscar loves that boat and will bark at you if you sit in his seat…
* Oscar can be a little odd. For instance, he had a weird reaction to a JFK bust…
* And, unlike commenters here, Oscar clearly prefers to talk about the Illinois Senate…
* Anyway, here he is today, still full of love…
Happy birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Oscar.
I see nothing wrong with this statement: “Sometimes, they even ignore me as they fawn over the little guy…”

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years. He’s had a great life so far, thanks to you. Fortunately these little guys can live to be twenty- so he’s likely just middle aged now. Hope you have many more great years together.

Happy Birthday, Oscar. (no banned punctuation as per instructions from your Dad)
Posts featuring you are my favorite posts - they are always cheerful and uplifting, in contrast to what your Dad presents.
We are all Illinoisans and love our state, but often wish every post could be like an Oscar post.
