The Ambassador of Love aka Sir Barxalot

Oscar is 9 months old, and he is very smart and affectionate. He possesses that manic puppy energy at times, and then he is incredibly mellow. He loves people and occasionally demands adulation - - almost being aggressively cute. He has become very adept at fetching, especially with squeaky toys. We have been astonished by his physical coordination and his ability to imitate a bounding deer or rabbit. My husband thinks Oscar likes the Three Stooges and punk rock bands like the Flesheaters, but I’m not convinced. I’m most impressed by the depth and expressiveness of Oscar’s eyes- - I know he is trying to practice mind control over both of us. I think it’s working, :-) My husband gave him the nickname Sir Barxalot because he barks incessantly when I leave the house without him. Oscar says “Woof!”
