cuntie: Oskie was such a lovely dog. I've known him since he was rescued 9 years ago. Pookie and Schatzi are heart-broken.

Mike said...

Lovely dog. Looks like my daughter's dog Fred.

Cissy Strutt said...

mike: He was a very handsome dog. His spotted chest is courtesy of his blue heeler heritage.

A.Man: Very.

colonel: It's good to be sad sometimes. We've been crying and talking about what a great life Oskie got to have with the boys and what he brought with him into our lives.

"AUGH! DOG GERMS!"

Chickie said...

It sounds that he will be dearly missed. Dogs do have a way of worming into our hearts.

Cissy Strutt said...

malach: Yeah, especially with that tongue. You could be defending your face with crossed arms, crouched down and hiding, and that tongue of his would find a bit of you to lick.

chickie: Sigh. But we wouldn't want to miss out on their company now because we are afraid of being sad when they go.

here today, gone tomorrow said...

Their company, silliness and noble souls are worth every second of pain when they depart.

Farewell, beautiful Oskar.
