Hello Brien. It's been awhile so I thought I'd write and give you an update and new
picture of Oscar! He's wonderful, very healthy and just an amazing new member to our family. I look at his beautiful face everyday and thank God I found you that led us to him! He loves to cuddle, with his size it can be difficult but he finds a way. He's made his bed sleeping with my father. I don't think my dad can sleep unless Oscar is stretched out beside him. His favourite game is when we throw his rope, he'll pick it up and drop it on our lap if he wants to play...he really let's us know what he wants to do!

He loves our long walks in the woods, the other day we were hiking for agood 2 hours, he always has to lead! I know I've thanked you many times but I'm going to do it again since I can't imagine what things were like before him. My daughter loves brushing him and he'll roll around loving it, his coat has become so shiny! Our vet loves him and has said he's the most beautiful dog he's seen and so well mannered. I'm attaching one of my favourite pictures of Oscar and my daughter having a nap together, she would like me to thank you for her new "best friend" as well! I'll keep you updated and I hope all is well with you.

Beth

Hello Brien,

Hope you and your family are well.

Kennedy plays with him outside for hours after school and we love taking him to the forest nearby for long hikes, he loves it as well since when he see's the direction we're going his ears perk up and he starts getting very quiet.

It's amazing that he'll be outside with one of us at home and will stay very close. Every morning when my daughter is going to school he picks up his leash and brings it to one of us, he waits with her for the school bus. Then when she's coming home my dad says he senses the school bus and will pick up his leash and bring it to him. He then carries her knapsack to the garage and it's play time!

Here are some new pictures we took.

One question Brien, my moms nurse, who adores Oscar, thinks he should have another dog in the house. What do you think? I was going to write and ask if you had any puppies? If not now please let me know when, although I don't know if Oscar would like sharing his attention.

Once again Brien I cannot thank you enough for bringing Oscar into our lives, he's lovable, playful and beautiful. Wherever we take him people comment on how gorgeous he is and I tell them about you.

Always grateful,

Beth

He's been wonderful! He's so smart and has become the center of attention in the family. Every morning he carries my daughter's backpack to the end of the driveway to wait for the bus and is there to carry it back when she gets home.He's now used to our property and stays close to where we are when we're playing outside. He and I have our time together walking through the woods nearby and he loves it! He also loves the sprinkler and he and my daughter will run through it together. He is an amazing part of the family and we all adore him! I want to thank you again for bringing him into our lives Brien. Pictures attached! (Beth's pics on the right).
