Cute overload?

When the gorgeous Clive, an Assistance Dog working with a ten-year-old autistic boy – fondly called Little Man – wrote and asked me to post some pictures of my own dog, Oscar – I couldn’t help but be impressed. After all, how does that dog manage to write comments without opposable thumbs?

So, Little Man, this post is for you – hope it brings a smile or three to your face!

Oscar, enjoying a summer’s day last year:

Oscar

And here he is on a hot spring day this year.

Don’t stick your tongue out at me, buddy…

Just in case you’re wondering, Oscar is a Working Golden Retriever, who came into our lives two years ago when he was 4.5 years old. (Remind me to tell you that story some time.)

Oh – and because I know you are fond of a good-looking pair of buttocks, I’m throwing in this picture as an added bonus…

Check out TravelerFolio’s site for more great photos!

By the way, did you know that those red buttocks act like comfy cushions? (Not unlike our own butts, I suppose…)

  5. Oscar is a handsome boy and has a wonderful career.

  6. We’re so happy! The smiles and the laughter were something to behold! Thank you so much for the photos of Oscar – the little man was really happy with the photos – and he loved Oscar’s tongue!!

    and then the baboon photo! Well, we have to explain that the little man’s favourite animal when we visit Dublin Zoo – which we do a lot!! are the Baboons!! Why, well he says his dad’s bottom looks just the same as a baboon – don’t ask!

    So, you managed to thrill him doubly – first, great photos of Oscar and then the baboons!!

    Much appreciated from us all
    - the little man’s mum

    • Glad to hear the Little Man was pleased. You had mentioned in another post that he loved baboon bottoms – hence the butt shot! ;-)

    June 10, 2009 at 22:41

  16. Oooh – I love seeing pics of Oscar. Baboon buttocks, not so much…

    June 11, 2009 at 00:39

  17. I guess that’s a good reminder that our butts could always look worse… lots worse! LOL

    Oscar is such a cutie. I love goldens. Actually, I love most all dogs. :)

    June 11, 2009 at 01:30

  18. Well, I don’t think you can overload on cute when it is followed by baboon behinds! What a shock that was!

    June 11, 2009 at 02:52

  19. Oscar has such a lovely smile, and coat.

    June 11, 2009 at 03:02

  20. Oscar is a very pretty dog. Haha, love the picture of a baboon’s red butt.

    June 11, 2009 at 03:05

  21. Babboon butts are ick… my human butt is much nicer… your dog on the other hand?! Gorgeous!

    June 11, 2009 at 03:33

  22. Uh….. that last pic… was that the cute one??? Cuzzzzz.

    But dog – darling. I’ll take one just like it.

    June 11, 2009 at 05:24

  23. We call our cat Little Man too. Your little man is really gorgeous, looks just like Old Yeller. Who wants a red butt??

    June 11, 2009 at 05:45

  24. I’m glad Oscar’s butt doesn’t look like the Baboon’s. Aren’t you. I don’t think I’d like a baboon sitting on my lap.

    June 11, 2009 at 05:55

  27. Very cute dog! He’d love walking in my neighborhood. We have lots of pretty girl dogs :-)

    June 12, 2009 at 04:14

  28. What a beautiful dog Oscar is. The best animals always come into our lives without our asking…I’d love you to tell us that story sometime.

    June 12, 2009 at 06:01

  29. Oscar is very handsome, I would like to hear his story sometime. Oh the baboons are so cute, how wonderful to have an attached cushion all the time, and such a pretty color too! :)

    June 12, 2009 at 06:24

  30. I love the picture of Oscar, your smiling dog!

  35. That is one Beautiful dog. I have a soft spot for dogs that’s for sure. Simply beautiful. As you know, I am new to this blog and I have to say that I love it, I’m sure you could tell from the thousand comments I have left. (I love commenting) Anyways great blog, I was wondering if I could put your blog on my blogroll so that I can get to it a lot faster, you know, instead of searching and all that jazz. Thanks for the great stuff.

  37. Now, you are one good looking gentleman, Oscar! Look forward to reading more about you. You do have a big tongue, but it’s much prettier than those pink cushions that look painfully familiar! Remind me not to look over my shoulder in the mirror when i step out of the shower!!!

    June 15, 2009 at 18:08

  38. Handsome dog! Not a handsome ass though.

    June 15, 2009 at 21:44
