A desperate attempt to lighten things up
Monday, Jun 3, 2013 - Posted by Rich Miller * Before we get to the thud of a session ending, how about we start the week of hostile recriminations on a positive note? Oscar the Puppy graduated from training school over the weekend. My mom asked if he matriculated with honors. “Of course,” I told her. “He’s a Miller”…  Discuss.

He looks as though he is exhausted and thinking “I need a drink”.
- Boat Captain - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 8:58 am:
“I need a stiff drink”.

What is it with these Miller’s and their beards?

If I can give Oscar some advice;
Plastics.
- Quinn T. Sential - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:03 am:
Please send him to the capitol in an effort to teach some old dogs new tricks

-Can’t keep his mouth shut-
- Give Me A Break - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:13 am:
Was Oscar given a free year of Cap. Fax as a graduation present?
- dang - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:15 am:
I never even thought of blaming Oscar for the way things went at the end of session. Clearly, though, you have to place some of the blame at his paws. Lol. Jk
- AFSCME Steward - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:17 am:
Next I think I’ll study law.
- Boat Captain - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:19 am:
“Okay teach, you can put that thing on my head but let go of my ear!”

- RNUG Fan - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:21 am:
Puppy bill credit Oscar…..
I am not all that unhappy a lot was done and the budget is good…
- Mama - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:26 am:
Oscar, save yourself and stay away from the old dogs at the capital. Those pit bulls will eat you up…
- Esquire - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:31 am:
They grow up so fast.
- Amalia - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:38 am:
“I’ve graduated. Now I want to start my own blog.”

Matriculated or masticated?
- Harry - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 9:52 am:
Hopefully no student loan debt?
- Boone's is Back - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 10:09 am:
Someone needs to FOIA that kennel to see if he got a legislative scholarship.
- Mokenavince - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 10:23 am:
We have our first canine candidate for Governor.
Just throw his Mortar Board into the ring.
He’d make a doggone good Governor.
- 3rd Generation Chicago Native - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 10:24 am:
Who gave the commencement address?
- A Citizen - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 10:39 am:
Putting real Teeth into “Bite Me” !!

“Now that I know the rules, I can break them.”
No wait — that was Rich
- Nearly Normal - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 11:20 am:
Oscar graduated–did his owner pass as well? Dog trainers say it’s the owner who needs the training more than the dog.
- too obvious - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 11:41 am:
I’ll chip in for tuition to send Mike Bost and others to that school.
- Anonymous - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 12:30 pm:
Looks like Oscar is really growing up. He is not a puppy anymore!
- BehindTheScenes - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 12:31 pm:
What did Oscar major in?
- Rich Miller - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 12:33 pm:
===What did Oscar major in? ===
Cuteness, of course.
- So. ILL - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 12:46 pm:
Rich - This is unrelated to your cute puppy, forgive me. However, I just want to say thank you for your hard work and in depth writing on the close of session. There is literally no where else I can go to get the kind of well wrapped, detail packed information you provide. If your blog was a burrito, it would have seven layers. Thanks again!
- Wumpus - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 12:51 pm:
Were you the commencement speaker?
Did they give you an honorary DOGtorate?
- Rich Miller - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 12:53 pm:
Wumpus, I was a bad dad and didn’t make it to the ceremony. I slept instead. Day after session ended. No way was I waking up.
- Wumpus - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 12:55 pm:
Rub his back, all will be forgiven.
- Rich Miller - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 12:58 pm:
I rubbed his belly and bought him some tasty new treats. Mmm… Salmon.
- Ghost - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 2:04 pm:
SO do you color the beard onto his fur to look like you…..
- Excessively Rabid - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 4:52 pm:
Another new grad moving back home with the folks….
- Just The Way It Is One - Monday, Jun 3, 13 @ 5:06 pm:
To borrow from one of Bogie’s famous lines slightly adjusted, “Oscar, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”(…so long as he puts that Diploma to good use and APPLIES all those lessons from his school in the Daily Life of Rich Miller and Family, of course)!!! Congrats Grad!
