He is Home!

Oscar came back from the Boarding Kennels yesterday. He had a nice week long holiday, and luckily for him the weather was great for it too. My parents are still in Florida and will be until Wednesday. This year, my Brother and I had to stay at home with my grandparents, but my uncle is here now so we are back at out house, not my grandparents.

I've been trying to get photos off my phone and onto the laptop but it just doesn't want to do it. I've tried using Facebook and gmail, but they just don't want to leave! I can't even get them on to an SD card, so you may all go without the photos of Oscar on the way back home and the small walk in town I'm afraid!

Because the weather has been really nice recently (sunny and hot in Ireland, rain and tropical storms in Florida! Lol ), I finally got around to getting Oscar a little pool from my Nan's. It's only a little hard, plastic shell one, but it will do the job nicely. However, today it is raining, so its use was short lived! I do hope it gets sunny again by Wednesday!

What? I have to get in?

Happy now? I'm in!

Ahhh, wet....must SHAKE!!!

Handsome fellow indeed!

Burger, for me? Come back, don't float away!!!

Handsome, and Cheeky!

Taking the plunge into the deeper section

Looking for sunken treasure!

I don't think that Oscar is too keen about his little pool, but he seems OK with walking in and out of it. For a nice treat though! I've even got him doing his 'bubbles' trick in there and, if nothing else, he like to drink from it. Hopefully, over time, he will warm to the idea of it. Weather permitting, for all I know the Irish Summer ended yesterday!

The Horses are now out of two of the fields that we walk in and the grass is getting a little long now too so that's great! There are still some horses in some of the fields but as long as we have one or two then all is well. It was one of the first things we did when we got home, go for a walk that is! The pictures aren't great and I got a little fed up of doing it, so I kind of gave up with them for a while. Here is what I got anyway,

We started on a long line....

.....Then I was leashed and Oscar was free!

Unexpected visitors

Beautiful!

Sulking because I'm talking to horses, not him!

Real, off leash freedom!

The stream has really dried up recently

Ever feel like you're being followed?

On the way home

We were up in Dublin today and I got to go to a pet shop that stocks some raw food! I've been waiting to go there for weeks and I finally got to go! We brought a large freezer box with us so that we could avoid smelly raw meat in a hot car all the way back from Dublin and I filled it with food! I got one 2kg bag of minced tripe (Prize Choice), 3 bags of Natures Menu raw nuggets and a Prize choice Rabbit Dinner block (I would have gotten more but there was only one). I also got 2 pouches on Natures menu wet food which I will use in kongs and maybe some homemade treats.(I'll be baking tomorrow!)  All the food was less than €25 which I think is pretty good. It's a pity they had no bones, I would have liked some decent ones, oh well. I got a new nail clipper for Oscar too, I'm sure he will love that......
I was supposed to get some seaweed and kelp supplements though, but I totally forgot about them. I also forgot to get a finger toothbrush, but that's not the end of the world.
We also went to Ikea. It was heaven!!!!! When I get a house, EVERYTHING is coming from Ikea! All it is missing is a pet section.

I've been looking into adding another dog to the clan for a while now and today I finally got around to buying one! He is a Beagle just like Oscar, and they get on extremely well. Say hello to Oscar's new friend, Buddy!

Friends forever!!!

Cute, ehhh? 

Yawn.....

We're trying to sleep, please go away!

He still has little Buddy with him. Carries him around the place, even took him out to the garden to his little pool and almost on a walk! They are made for each other! Buddy is here with thanks to Ikea! ( I did say they had everything, didn't I?)


I think Oscar is happy to be home! He is currently snoring his head off as I watch 'The Dark Knight' with my uncle. I have a little obsession with Batman at the moment! I cannot wait for my parents to come back, I'm getting Batman converse!!!!

Oscar's new pacman collar should arrive tomorrow! (it's a little later that I had hoped but the name tag took a while to arrive to the maker) I cant wait to get it!
