What Saturday means to Oscar

It's starting to look chilly and icy out there!
 Now everyone knows the world revolves around Oscar...  Including Oscar.  During the week, he's shuffled back and forth between the house and the barn but on Saturday, Oscar is the King!  Today was our first kind of wintery day of the season.  Since it was a damp icy Saturday and chilly outside...brrrr....  Oscar enjoyed a majority of his day inside.  It was so icy I  hated to even let Oscar outside.  The first time I let him out this morning, he promptly wiped out giving me a heart attack but thank goodness he was okay. 
Where's my breakfast??

Saturday for Oscar usually starts with Oscar impatiently waiting for his scrambled eggs...  Eventually I give in and get the scrambled eggs going for him...  Usually I'm still in my pj's but Oscar comes first!
After a delicious breakfast of eggs and dog food,  I decided I wanted to run Oscar to the vet and weigh him.  So I quickly get dressed and we jump in the car.  That back seat is getting pretty small for Oscar but he squeezed in.  When Oscar jumped on the scale, he weighed in at a whopping 160 lbs at 10 1/2 months old.  Having accomplished that, we head back home.  By that time, Oscar decides it's time to go out and burn some energy. The ice was covering everything so he did wipe out royally on the concrete.  But not phased at all he tore outside and ran around for awhile. 
After a good while of exercise, I call Oscar...  Time to come in.  Oscar listens well especially if I tell him, it's time for a treat!  Then he comes a haulin...  This time, he had a treasure he had found that he wanted to bring in the house with him.  Mom was the fun killer and said no...  leave the toy outside...
Mom!  Can I keep it??  Huh?  Can I keep it?
So after all that fantastic fresh air, Oscar came in to get his treat...
Then, Oscar feels like it's time to do a little chewing..  So he will usually whine and bark at me until I pick up his bone and hand it to him.  Time for a little chew!
Finally it was too much for Oscar...  Time for a nap. 
After a restful afternoon nap, for Oscar, mother the slave driver decides it's time to practice.  Even though we are done showing for the year, we gotta keep up the practicing.  Don't want Oscar to lose touch of his feet!  :-)  (That's dog show talk)..
When we are done practicing...  Mother and Oscar mess around in the living room for a bit before he heads back to the kitchen.
And Oscar pretty much hangs in the kitchen for the rest of his Saturday.  And that in a nutshell is pretty much what Oscar does about every Saturday now.  :-)  It's a rough rough life but hey, someone has to do it!  Ha Ha.  I can hear Oscar snoring in the kitchen as I sit and type this!  It's hard to be the king.  See ya next weekend!
