    I think I know why. I had a terrific day on the 4th of July just sitting on the beach and enjoying the breeze. That was followed by some burgers on the grill and watching fireworks. While I was at the beach, my friend sat down next to me and we talked about all different…

    Hi guys! It’s me….Oscar the Beagle. Hey what’s a CVS receipt? Grampy came back from CVS the other day. He only bought a couple of things but he said he was going to wrap me up in the receipt. He thought it would fit. Is that like a snuggly blanket? Uncle Matt got mad again…

    Have Fun But Please Be Courteous

    I feel it’s time for my annual reminder about fireworks. About three or four years ago I found this picture. I never really thought about it but I can certainly understand it now. Anyone who has been in a war zone that was under attack and wondered if the next boom would be the last…

    In my own defense….I thought it was food. It didn’t smell like food and it certainly didn’t taste like food, but it looked good. Hi guys! It’s Oscar the Beagle and last week I chewed on Grampy’s new Cookbook. He left it on the counter where I could reach it (If I stuck my neck…

    I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday, basically getting caught up on what’s been going on in her life. Ironically I was at the wake for my friend Karen whom I told you about recently. I think Karen would have liked the fact that we got caught up on each other’s lives. This…

    Hi guys! It’s me…..Oscar the Beagle. I have a question for you: Don’t you think when they get take out they should share? Grammy and Grampy got Chinese food the other day. Grammy went out to pick it up and she came back with a bag that was full of awesome smelling stuff. There was…

    I had a friend who died this week. Many of you didn’t know her and that’s okay. I don’t really need to go into those details. What’s important is that she made a difference to the people that she met, helped, loved and took care of. My friend always had a smile and a hug…

    Hi guys! It’s me….Oscar the beagle. I could really use your help this week settling a little dispute here at the house. Grammy and Grampy get upset when I lick the floor. It all started a while ago when Grampy started cooking. I think I told you that the guy is a Clutz. Or Klutz,…

    Maybe you CAN’T do it anymore. A little insight into the world of disability here: sometimes we really hate it! I do consider myself blessed because even after a stroke and multiple joint replacements, I can still talk, write and get out and about. Slower than most but I can still do it. There are…

    Hi guys! It’s me…..Oscar the Beagle. It’s been a pretty good week here at the house. Everybody is home, Baxter and I get our walks in with Grammy and Grampy and the weather is nice outside. The grass is green and the wind keeps blowing some sticks down. I like sticks. Grampy is sneezing about…
