    Anybody know a good lawyer? Hi guys. It’s me…Oscar the Beagle. Really, I was just curious…. and maybe hungry. It’s been a busy week here at the house. I think I told you that Uncle Doug and Aunty Marla came up from Virginia with their dog Roscoe. Sarah came up too with some nice lady.…

    The House Is Quiet Again

    Yes the house is quiet again. And this time, I’m okay with that. I’ll be honest, as you probably noticed from some past writing, I haven’t always been a fan of my children growing up. I know they have to and I’m glad they are all finding their place in the world and I know…

    Hi guys! It’s Oscar the Beagle and I have so much to tell you this week! First we had that National Fireworks thing. Grammy and Grampy had some people over to have food on Grampy’s new outdoor cooking thing. Then they sat outside for awhile. Aunty Kat turned the air-conditioning thing on and closed the…

    Why Can’t We Agree To Disagree Anymore?

    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…

    Worried About the Kids, All Kids

    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…

    Goodbye My Friend

    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,…
