Oscar came into our lives on December 15, 2008. He was barely 6 weeks old when the love of my life brought him home in his coat pocket and surprised me with an early Christmas present. From that moment on, I loved this dog more than anything. Even though the rest of the family created a bond with Oscar, he and I shared a bond that was no comparison. He would be so excited to see me first thing of the morning when he woke up and was even more excited to see me when I returned home from work in the afternoon. We taught him so many tricks (i.e., sit, beg, roll over, shake, play dead, etc.) and he brought so much joy to our lives. Early 2009 we decided to attend the annual Knoxville Ice Bears Hockey game in Tennessee in which the half time show was a "weiner dog race". Even though Oscar was barely 4 months old, he was ready and willing to run while waiting on half time. When the time came for Oscar to run across the ice from "daddy" to "mommy", he developed a case of stage fright and ran in the opposite direction. Mommy and Daddy laughed for hours after that. We took him on trips with us and planned on taking him out on our boat when the weather warmed up. My favorite memory of Oscar is playing "hide and seek" with him. Even though he was a puppy, he know how to play and was very good at it; except the fact he would hide under the bed, under the bed skirt, and since his body was so long (weiner dog), his rear end would be sticking out from under the bed. He didn't know, and if he did, he didn't care; he would try and be still with only an occasional tail wag while waiting on mommy to find him. We had one last boat ride with our beloved Oscar during the Memorial Day Weekend. When he got sick at the end of May, 2009, our life was turned upside down. He underwent surgery on June 1, 2009 but his little body just couldn't recover and left us on June 3, 2009. He was only 8 months old. He was laid to rest on a rainy Wednesday afternoon underneath the big oak tree behind our house. My father made a little tombstone that read "Gone but not forgotten". He has been missed greatly.
