We've had Oscar in our family for almost three months now, and I couldn't be more taken with the little furball. What's not to love about this face?
He's getting smarter every day and knows all sorts of tricks now. He can come, sit, lay down, and go to bed, and give kisses, and he knows to calm down when I tell him to. (Sometimes he's a little hyper in the mornings and Mommy hasn't had enough caffeine to deal).
His favorite things in the whole world are hugs and cuddles, children, pig ears, his stuffed sheep toy, mud puddles, and greeting us when we come home. Though he's indifferent to large dogs (preferring those his own size, of course), he adores any and all people and had himself a grand time at two parties recently. At my birthday barbecue, he was the best of social butterflies, making sure he greeted and sat in the laps of everyone who came. The second party, held for my nephew's birthday, found him mingling and playing nicely with their pet corgi and the birthday boy.
He is noisy and charming and funny nearly all of the time. Hubby and I have been mesmerized just watching him romp and play in the house and yard. He has learned to live with our Roomba and has also conquered his fear of plastic bags, which also means that any plastic bag in the house is fair game. This resulted in his pulling over a bag that had a two liter of soda in it, which then rolled after him across the pantry while he barked for help. It was like Indiana Jones, but pathetic. It was about all the excitement the little guy could take before getting exhausted. He sleeps, by the way, many many hours during the day and snores the whole night through.
And frankly, at the end of the day, there is nothing better than snuggling on the couch with my husband beside me and my sweet puglet in my lap. Of course, when he falls asleep with his eyes open, it can be creepy. But aside from that, it's warm and calming and lovely. And his tail uncurls when he's sleepy. It's my favorite.
He's quite a boy.
