Please indulge me as I carry on with Oscar’s birthday tribute:
He turned 11 at the weekend, which is a good age for a dog his size.
Whatever he does, he does wholeheartedly —
Seizing the moment
And filling it with joy.
A lesson we could all learn from.
For more wet dogs and other tails, please visit: Our World Tuesday.
Happy birthday happy dog! Great shots.

Indulge all year, birthdays should last month at the least…..but that’s a bias argument. Good shtuffs -great capture of spirit an soul. These make me laugh, as Elvira is an water dog as well, but dislikes it -bath okay, lakes and ponds NO go. Oh, well all have quarks.
