Rich: I think it would have been funnier if you had committed to an Oscar picture each week until a budget is passed. But more Oscar is better Oscar. We’re the winners here.
Cheap Seats - I don’t care if he planted it or not. Many of us here love Oscar. He helps some of us realize that there are equally important things to think about than “hostage taking” and the Turn Around Agenda. And sorry, I should have proofed an earlier post before sending it.
Rich, Oscar told me he wants a ham bone for Christmas.

For those of you wondering if it was a planted question, I am the one that asked it. Too often pictures of Oscar are the only cheerful thing on this blog.
Clint W. Sabin - just got back home and online after a meeting - Thank you for asking the question. We all respect Rich, but we love Oscar. And you are so right - we all need a a cheerful break from the normal discourse on this site.

Cute puppy.
Please promise us there’ll be no pictures in a sailor suit, devil costume or the like…
Don’t do Oscar like that.

Oscar looks like he’s dying to know: who’s a good boy? Really, who is it? Who can it be?
I think he’ll be happy when you tell him Rich.

Reminds me that we too once had an Oscar.
He truly was a friend of mine.
Enjoy your little fellow & thanks for sharing!

So cute. I had to put my dog to sleep a month ago and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

Rich, as a fellow dog owner, I can say they’re better than a room full of therapists!

Me thinks Miller planted this question so he could justify continued Oscar posts…

lol
Who would ever plant a question like that?
Hilarious.
Move along.
- Just Askin' - Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 4:23 pm:
He blends in nicely, which begs the question: Does Oscar shed a lot or was your carpet always that color?

Keep in mind my post was a joke folks…A little humor is needed.
