Your morning moment of Zen

Posted in:

* Oscar the Puppy showed up for the last inning or so of the House vs. Senate softball game this week. Oscar always loves being around people, so he had a great time. He was even tapped as a “K-9 softball analyst” by the Illinois Channel

  2. Sully got Oscar to correctly predict a Senate victory…does Oscar know how this tax extension vote will go or who will win the Governor’s race?

  3. Oscar does media better than some in Illinois Government.

    Oscar knows how to bring the Zen. Perfect way to start a Friday, and a holiday weekend.

  4. Oscar has really grown. Maybe time to drop “the puppy” from his name.

  11. “Rich, you look great. (As does Oscar, of course.)”

    I agree. Thanks Rich for sharing the video. I wish him many happy years with his dog, as I’ve had with my dog.

    Today I’m taking my 14 year old dog to the vet for her annual physical. She’s still hanging in there, though her hind legs are starting to give out. She’s my old puppy.

  16. Rich Miller, I have never heard you talk baby-talk until your conversation with your puppy! It’s adorable. Would it work with politicians, do you think?

  17. ===Would it work with politicians, do you think? ===

    Highly doubtful. lol

  18. I think Dave got more out of Oscar than he usually gets out of Rich.

  19. Good looking dog and his “master” is as well. You both are good for each other.

    Thanks for giving us our Zen moment. By this time next week, we will no doubt need many more!

  20. ===does Oscar know how this tax extension vote will go or who will win the Governor’s race? ===

    He does, but he refuses to speak on the record.

  21. ==He does, but refuses to speak on the record==

    HILARIOUS! It’s been a rough couple of weeks but that takes the cake! Thanks for the smiley chuckle, bringing Oscar back into the Friday Cap Fax Mix today couldn’t have been better timing, and, lastly, hope you, your loved ones, and beloved Puppy throroughly enjoy a Happy Memorial Day Weekend! (Oh, and go SOX! Still hangin’ in there and only 1 1/2 Games out of the Wild Card as they start play tonight…+ “Kid” Sale is back)!!
