We went for a four mile hike around Taughannock Falls and Oscar was leading the way. There were some muddy parts and his under carriage got pretty dirty.
He was also pretty pooped by the time we got back to the campsite.
I think Oscar is getting tired of the winter weather. He looks a little ho hum.
Hopefully it will be spring soon and we can take him camping.
I was wandering around a Tuesday Morning while Aaron was in his guitar lessons and they had dog camping tents!
So I went to Coleman's website and found all kinds of pet camping gear. I like what they had to say...
"Pets are a part of the family so there’s no reason they should be left behind when everyone goes camping. Coleman’s unique family of pet products makes it easy for you to take your pet along. All Coleman® pet products are designed with pets in mind and made of durable, long-lasting materials. Forget the dog sitter this camping season; take your faithful friend with you!"
They had dog tents and CAT tents. I am trying to visualize taking a cat camping.
The Mountaineer Cat Tent has:
• Adjustable side panels for ventilation and airflow
• Waterproof floor provides moisture barrier between your pet and the ground
• Weather-resistant fabric specially designed and treated to repel water
• Strong frame engineered to withstand windy conditions
That's good because Stewie would not be happy if he got wet or if he blew away.
Look how cute the Hibernation Sleeping Bag for Dogs is!
And the Bone Lounger would be a big hit too.
Let's be honest though. We could get Oscar the tent, the lounger and the sleeping bag, but when we take Oscar camping, we all know where he is going to be sleeping. In OUR tent, on top of MY pillow with my head squozen over to a tiny corner. As usual.
We had a blast at the George Eastman House OSCARS party.
Oscar had a special t-shirt to wear for the occasion.
He came toe to toe with another Oscar.
Everyone had to stop and pet him. I mean everyone.
The band played "Who let the dogs out?" and he went out onto the dance floor. Everyone was taking pictures of Oscar and a lot of people wanted their picture taken with him.
He is going to be really difficult to live with now.
Oscar was featured in several ads for the party posing as Heel Oscar Heel, Sit Oscar Sit and Walk Oscar Walk. You can see all the pictures over on 1000 Words. He even has his own MySpace page, www.myspace.com/apugcalledoscar! I am sure he would like to be your MySpace friend!
As you can see, Aaron and I took a backseat in this campaign... we were just there to work with "The Talent".
(these pictures and the ones on 1000 Words were taken by Denise Batiste)
Oscar is going to be attending the party too... walking the red carpet!
When we were home for Thanksgiving I got to meet my grandma's new
puggle puppy, Maggie. Half pug, half beagle. I enjoyed picking out her
pug-features... eyes, back feet, tail trying to curl over. Her beagle
characteristics were obvious as she tore around the house and bounced
off the walls. She is a little Hyper
Hypo.
Aaron and I had the day before taking a red eye back to
Rochester. We strolled around a bit.
And we went to see Underdog
at the El Capitan. I really wanted to see the stunt dog. I had a
weimaraner when I was a kid so I really wanted to see this show. I'm
glad I got a chance to see it.
There are so many big movies opening this summer! We already
saw Spiderman 3 (the day it opened of course). Also looking forward to
Shrek 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Harry Potter 5, Oceans 13 (3),
Fantastic Four (2), The Bourne Ultimatum (3)... whew! A lot of
sequels.
But there is one little movie that I am really looking forward
to. Underdog.
It's too cute. I can hardly stand it. We may have to see it at a drive
in so we can take Oscar!
