Oscar

I promised a story about Oscar the Xmas dog. As best as my memory provides this is how it went down. Because of a stroke years ago my emotions are very hard to control. I cry at a good commercial on TV. Now forward that many years. I had just lost my cat to old age. We were close. A year later I lost my friend, my dog Buddy. We had to put him down cause he had Cancer of the face. I never heard of such a thing. What a great dog he was. It seems like six months went by and Xmas rolled around. My son and his future wife came home with a beagle mix puppy for me that holiday as I was very depressed. The dog was given to them at a small convenient store. There was two dogs left and they picked one. They brought him home and he peed on the rug. Mel was not to happy. I was! The kids asked me what I wanted to name him. I said without hesitation Oscar. They stopped in their tracks, staring at each other. They said your kidding, that's crazy! Why I said,Cause that's his name already as given to him by the guy getting rid of him. Just weird, what's the chances of that. Unfortunately since we lost our home I couldn't keep him but my son has him at their house. I do once in a while get to see him as well as my other cat that they took in for me. I'm looking forward to when some day we once again can have an animal. Oscar will make a great dog for Carly due Feb.10. Sometimes things work out.
