Oscar

As some of you may already know, Oscar is no longer with us.
He was a good dog and we will miss him.

Tribute to Oscar:

Oscar was a fun-loving bichon,
with a friendly demeanor and heart of a champion,

His tongue was long and also quite slick,
especially when he caught you with an unexpected toe lick,

He would scamper up and down that hall,
tracking down his tennis ball,

Oh, the excitement Oscar felt was bunches and bunches,
every time mom went to go make school lunches,

For the wonderful world that lay behind the fridge door,
was filled with tasty treats that might fall to the floor,

Soon Oscar developed a cough,
this made our hearts grow oh so soft,

We knew his joy fled as his pain grew,
so now, Oscar, we take this moment to remember you...

Good-bye Oscar, we'll miss you!

Oh how heart breaking! It is just the worst thing to lose a dog. They just give you such unconditional love!

I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Poor Oscar...he will be missed.
I rememeber how hard it was when we had to put our puppy, Raphael, down. Yes...puppy...he only lived to about a year.

Thanks Melissa for the Tribute to Oscar. That was a very nice peom you composed. It doesn't seem possible that he is gone now. Everytime I come home, I expect him to be sitting for me at the top of the basement steps watching for me. He was such a great dog! I love him and miss him sooooo much.

I wish I could say we will be getting a new dog but for now, that won't be happening. We are rarely home these days and I don't have the heart to do that to a dog. Maybe down the road when things aren't quite so hectic!

It is so weird without him! I just miss him sooooo much!! He was such a great dog!!!!!
