Oscar and Ruby made it across the state quite well…exhausted and stressed I am sure…but safe and sound. Already, Oscar has made remarkable strides in adapting to his new home. He seemed to like having a bath…not quite as sure about the hair dryer, but okay nonetheless. He spent the first night sleeping with me and the cats who seemed to think it was no big deal.

Spike, my Yorkie, came home yesterday morning and appeared thrilled to meet Oscar…of course there wasn’t one blade of dry grass in the whole yard, but hey… It’s quite dear watching Oscar try to get Spike to play. Spike isn’t quite so sure, but I know he will get the picture soon. He does like the attention though. Lots of happy wagging tails.!

Thank you for suggesting I take Oscar’s blanket and Mariners tee-shirt. After a thorough washing that first night, I put them on the sofa…he snuggled right in and fell sound asleep. Now the tee-shirt is in his crate and the blanket is all over the place. He’s obviously grieving for his previous human, but is beginning to follow me around and seems to be enjoying the attention.

Do you have access to his shot/vet records? I will need them for his licensing. And he sounds like he has been “de-barked.” Any information about that? It may explain why there are no warning growls before he bites…which he is getting over quickly!

Oscar is well on his way to being a perfect addition to our lives. He is fitting in so well. Thank you all for making this possible. Your compassion for this dear little guy is gratefully appreciated.

Sincerely, Pat

Oscar is an older Chihuahua mix, weighs 11.6 pounds.   He is neutered, housetrained, and loves to wear his harness.   He is good with women but does dislike some men, having bitten in the past when he first came to rescue (he was really terrified).  Oscar's owner, who had him since he was a puppy,  had to go into a nursing home, and there was no place for Oscar to go.  He is current on his shots, including rabies.   He is crate trained, and loves to ride in the car.
