A Blog For All

Thanks for your support so far to those that have voted for me in the Awesome Blog poll. I feel very honoured, especially as competition is TOUGH (as it always is - we all have awesome blogs, right?). However, there is still time to vote, so go and check out Dogs with Blogs and do your thing! Oh, and did I mention I will ensure your hoomans are at your beck and call, you get the best treats ever and none of you need ever have a bath again if I am elected? Oops, I thought I was running to be the new British PM for a minute there, hehehe!

So anyway, how are you all doing? I hope you're not all as flooded as we are here in the UK. One of the villages near the dam which is in danger of bursting are where my mum comes from and my grandma still lives there as does mum's bestest friend works also at the high school where people are taking shelter. 3 people have already drowned which is super scary. Paws crossed the rain will stop and clear up can begin soon. There are some photos here, here and here.

We haven't been so badly affected by the rain down here, so I have been getting out and about as usual. I take back everything I ever said about there being no doggies to play with on my field though, as I now seem to have a lot of friends! As well as Maddie and Poppy, I have found another girl to play with! Her name is Sasha and she's very beautiful, and like my other girl pals, she's a proper tomboy who loves getting wet, muddy and smelly at every opportunity, yeah!

Here we are having a splish splash in the river. Can you guess where we're going to reappear? This bit of the river is nice and clean.



Whereas this bit isn't! The banking is REALLY nice and yucky so when you come out with wet paws you get a good old muddy mush going on, cool! The poor boy stood there wasn't prepared for us, hehehe!



And in case you're wondering about all these girl friends...don't! That's just what they are - friends who are girls. No funny business or lovey dovey going on.

See? My blog has even been given a G rating as further proof that I am not starting my own hareem of local doggie girls!

Online Dating

Right, I'm off to finish off a rather tasty chew treat. Chat to you all soon. I still haven't told you what mum and dad did to me at the weekend!

Hi Oscar,
Ok, you've definitely got my vote.. Can you make sure they don't cut my nails again??

wally said...

Oscar,

I think you would do a bang-up job as the new PM. Labour would be back on course and we would all have tasty tasty snacks! I'm a Yank but I'd emigrate!

hiya oscar.. i just love the ''swimming hole'' you guys found -- it has real ''mud'' potential. gurleez are good to have for friends...i've got some too.. they love to tease.. and i must love to be teased.
those floods are pretty scary...i do like the swimming pool boats the two girls and a dog had.. that was pretty neat.. now i know what to do w/that kiddie pool!! just have to wait for a flood (i'm not crossing my fingers.. i don't want one.)

Congrats on your nomination Oscar. It's very well deserved!!

We'll be thinking of your grandma and mom's friend and hope they don't get flooded. How scary!

Luckie Girl said...

Hiya Oscar,
For a moment I thought you had become Boo Cassanova with all those ladies. :) But I think you should be old enough to date by now huh?
No more baths? No more dreaded nail trims? I need to move to UK right NOW!!

Nugget said...

Hi Oscar!
Congrats on the nomination! Your a shoe-in... (whatever that means)

Hope the flooding clears up and the damn holds.... very scarey!

Licks,

Joe Stains said...

Mom heard on the radio today about all the rains you have been getting, its terrible. It is almost as terrible as your birthday present sitting in the closet not sent!

the many Bs said...

We like your blog too and it's just fine to have a lot of girlfriends. WE have a girlfriend, but she lives in Florida. She's beautiful.

Isabella said...

Wish we could have some of your rain. It is dry and dusty here. We are in a drought and having wild fires. Who ever is in charge of the main, sure isn't doing a very good job- some places flooding and some places drying up and blowing away! Good luck in the DWB competition!
Big Wags,
Isabella

PerfectTosca said...

Oscar, um, I was wondering....are you handing out any treats during your campaign? I mean, for the right treat I will pretty much vote for you twice.

Girl Girl Hamster said...

Yeah, I voted for you Oscar. I hope you win... Good to see that you have many doggie friends to play with and that your blog is "G" rated. ;)
