Woof Wednesday with Oscar

Hi guys! It’s me …..Oscar the Beagle…. Just hoping there’s no more snow coming. I heard grampy complaining the other day. I know! Grampy….. complaining??? How rare!

He was saying that he was sick of being stuck in the house when it snows. How’d you like to have to go out in it?

We got some pretty good snow on that last one. I went outside and my feet sunk. Then the snow gets all stuck in my paws. Maybe I should get some sneakers. Uncle Matt and Aunty Kat work at a sports store. I’ll have to ask, see if they have my size.

Then the other night it turned cold after the snow stopped and everything got crunchy. My feet didn’t sink anymore. I didn’t stay out much that night.

It’s days like that I like to just snuggle and nap where it’s warm.

Uncle Matt made me a Toy Fort the other day. It was pretty cool.

Yeah we’re just waiting for someone to turn the warm on. We still walk when Grammy is home from work. She takes me and Baxter for a walk no matter what the weather is. Grampy only goes with us when it’s warm. I think he said he’s allergic to the cold. I just humor the guy.

I just have a tough time when the wind is blowing cold. It makes my ears flap in the wind and I try to scamper so I can get back in front of the wood stove. Yeah, that’s nice and warm.

The other day Grammy took us down by the beach and it was all muddy and there were puddles. I don’t like puddles because I never know how deep they are. Baxter just splashes through them but I remember I tried that once and it was deeper than me! I was covered! There was mud everywhere on our walk the other day and it got all stuck between my toes. I need those sneakers.

I can’t wait for the warm times. We have this nice porch out the back door and sometimes there’s one giant sun spot on the whole porch. I could lay out there for hours.

I think Uncle Matt has caught on to me. The other night, while grampy was watching TV, Matt came downstairs sooooo I went upstairs. I used to sneak in his room and sometimes I could find the box of Cheez Itz or maybe a cheeseburger. THAT was a good day. But lately, NOTHING! I try to snoop around and sniff before he gets back but I can’t find anything. Maybe it’s under the blankets.

Oh Grammy said the Vet called back and everything’s fine. I was kinda hoping he’d order them the increase my kibble allotment but no such luck. I still say they should just leave the cover off and let me take care of it. I’m just trying to help the old folks cause they’re so busy.

Oh well. Hey grampy is heading for the kitchen. I think he’s going to cook. You know what that means! Captain Clutz is about to drop stuff! I gotta get ready!

    Awwwwwwwwwwww! So much for him to ponder this week. He is going to over work his brain and have to nap more. I think he should find Grampy and snuggle for a long winter’s nap. Another great column. I still look forward to Woof Wednesday. My compliments to the author or is it authors? By the way, you can find “puppy boots” on line. I have a friend who bought some and the poor dog looked like he was going break his hips trying to stay on his feet.
