13. Always puts a smile on my face regardless of the other contentious discussions discussions and topics being discussed on this blog. Thanks

14. 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.

    Comment by RNUG Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 2:43 pm

19. 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.

20. great idea to have a weekly appearance by Oscar

    Comment by cb Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 2:44 pm

26. It’s 2015.

    Comment by Anon Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 3:20 pm

27. Reminds me that we too once had an Oscar.

    He truly was a friend of mine.

    Enjoy your little fellow & thanks for sharing!

28. 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.

    Comment by ihpsdm Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 3:22 pm

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

    I don’t want you to
    He’s my dog

32. OSCAR!

    Comment by Barton Lorimor Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 3:56 pm

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

35. “Rough!” was how Oscar described his hiatus from the blog during his Q&A session.

    Comment by AC Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 4:15 pm

36. Give the people what they want

    Comment by Fun with Numbers Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 4:17 pm

37. 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.

38. ===I don’t care if he planted it or not===

    lol

    Who would ever plant a question like that?

    Hilarious.

    Move along.

    Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 4:19 pm

39. He blends in nicely, which begs the question: Does Oscar shed a lot or was your carpet always that color?

    Comment by Just Askin' Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 4:23 pm

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

    Comment by View from the Cheap Seats Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 4:28 pm

41. Oscar’s very handsome. Next up, his own Twitter feed?

43. Where is the “like” button?

    Comment by Duncan Sheltie Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 5:13 pm

44. Thanks “Cheap Seats” we need a little “humor” on this site quite often. And thanks to Rich as well.

    Comment by illini Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 5:22 pm

45. Rich, Oscar told me he wants a ham bone for Christmas.

    Comment by Mama Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 5:29 pm

46. 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.

    Comment by Clint W. Sabin Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 5:34 pm

47. It’s been two dog years without a budget

    Comment by Anonymous Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 6:30 pm

48. 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.

    Comment by illini Thursday, Dec 17, 15 @ 9:07 pm

49. Oscar Rules.
