Yesterday Oscar and Stewie were on the Kodak 1000 Words Blog. A few years ago I attached a digital camera to Oscar. This time I attached a Zi8 Pocket Video Camera and let him shoot some video.

Stewie shot some video too, but it's not very interesting - you can watch both the videos on the blog post.

Oh - if you get motion sickness, don't watch Oscar's video.

Have you ever seen the website for Jenny the Pug? I can't believe how much we have in common. We both like to have pumpkin carving parties, go shopping, sit on the beach and bake pies. I think if I were a pug, I would be Jenny the Pug. It would be great if her owners name was Oscar.

While I was in LA, Aaron got me a Snuggie. We had joked and laughed about them a lot... but now I must say I quite enjoy my Snuggie. I can cover up when it's chilly but still have my arms out to type on my laptop. I just wish they came in natural fibers, like cotton. Hmmm bamboo snuggie.

 

Apparently they have Snuggies for dogs too. Wonder how Oscar would like a Snuggie?

Today is Oscar's birthday. He turned seven. We made him a meat cake with dog bisquit crumbles. The letters are also dog bisquits.

Stewie demanded to know where his cake was.

We used the plate we made for him in 2004 at a paint your own pottery place.

Oscar and Stewie enjoyed hanging outside last weekend.

Oscar let Stewie share his lounger.

Stewie spent some time teasing he neighbor dog.

Then two cardinals spent some time teasing Stewie.

They took turns sitting just out of reach on the fence, chirping their heads off. Drove him nuts.

Aaron sent me a video today of a French tv show with MGMT performing their song Kids.

Well I love MGMT and I especially love this performance because there are pugs in it. Okay so there are pugs dancing around with girls dressed as Pocohantas and MGMT is dressed as pilgrims, but still.... there are pugs.

Aaron and I were at the mall and I start noticing random animals scattered about.

Finally we realized that Lollypop Farm was having a telethon at the mall.

There was a mini pony there that you could pay $1 for a kiss. I bought two.

Aaron and I were in the Vegas FAO Schwarz and saw these roly poly stuffed animals from Dog Park.

Aaron got me one which I really thought was a cat, but the tag said he is a pomeranian. It was challenging to wrestle him onto the plane, but I got him home!

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.

Really pooped.

Thanks to an unusually warm April we are already out camping.

Oscar was very excited to go camping. He was especially excited to try out his new dog lounger.

Oh and his little doggy sleeping bag. How cute is that?

I blogged about these Coleman pet camping supplies awhile ago. We ended up finding both the lounger and sleeping bag for a really good price at a Tuesday Morning.

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.

So Stewie has this little kitty tent we got for him. It has a blanket inside and he likes to lay in there to "get away from it all".

So do others.

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.

Those of you who feel Stewie has been getting too much of the spotlight and are wanting more Oscar... prepare yourself.

Today on 1000 Words I wrote about how Oscar is the spokespup for the George Eastman House Academy Awards Party®!

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!

I have been writing about the Oscars® all week on 1000 Words. On tuesday I posted a picture of me 10 years ago holding an Oscar®. Gah.

maggie

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.

Oscar took it all in stride.

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!
