Happy Birthday Oscar the Boxer!

Yesterday 2/6/2012 our sweet Oscar turned 1 year old.

The First Day we brought him home!

Oscar on his birthday!

What a year it has been!
Oscar's First Year Highlights:

• He ate a bottle of ibuprofen and had to have his stomach pumped.
• He ate a box of Kleenex and had to eat bread for 3 days to get it through his system.
• He made his first trip to Michigan.
• He went to his first doggie day care!
• He went on 2 camping trips.
• He has been to Tulsa 3 times.
• He traveled to Dallas to help move his Uncle Matt.
• He had a tumor on his ear removed.
• He is bell trained and can ring a bell when he wants to go outside.
• His cousin Lucy came and stayed for 2 weeks.
• He has gone to the dog park A LOT and loves it!
• He can sit on command.
• He loves to chew bones.
• He loves to jump on the trampoline.
• He loves to play ball.
• He loves to wrestle with his dad!

He is such a blessing to our lives and has really been the best medicine for me and my depression.  He is a cuddle bug! He is always happy and excited to see me.  He has taught the girls responsibility and has become a GREAT protector of them! I hope we have MANY more years with Oscar! We celebrated his birthday with Oscar's favorite treat.... a cheese stix and he got a new bone (which he reluctantly shared with his new brother!)
