    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. I had to go to the stupid Vet again! I know, I should be nice and Grammy says he’s a nice man but I just don’t like the poking and the SHOTS! I guess it was time for my annual checkup. I would have been fine if we…

    Hi guys! It’s me, Oscar the Beagle. So….guess what happened the other night? No, I did not win the Publisher’s Clearinghouse and get a year of free Milk Bones. No, Uncle Matt did not leave a full box of Cheez Its on the night stand with the lid open. No, it was not another life…
