OSCAR GOES HOME! 25 AUGUST 2011
Jan writes: Early in August, Scott had a hunting trip and some other things to take care of, so Oscar came to stay with me for a couple of weeks. I had been talking with and emailing a couple in Fairbanks about Oscar. I didn't hold back, I told them all I could think of about him, both & & bad. Truth be told, there isn't much bad to say about the boy; he can be pretty wild at times, but he's only 17 months old. They really wanted Oscar, and had fulfilled all the requirements for rescue, so as soon as they were able to, they hooked up their 30-foot travel trailer and drove down to Wasilla to meet our boy. Fairbanks is a seven- or eight-hour drive from Wasilla (depending on weather & road conditions). Oscar showed them all his wild tricks, but also showed them that he could be a sweet boy. After a good visit and lots of discussion, Oscar got to check out the bed they made for him in the back seat of their pickup. Off they went, spending several days camping & fishing on their way home. I heard from them a few days after they got home - Oscar had been a good boy. He has been to the dog park and to his first obedience lesson. The word is . . . he did very well. Oscar & his new people have a five-seat aireplane that he will be learning to ride in. I am looking forward to photos & updates on the further adventures of Oscar, which I will share with you all. We thank all the people whose help & contributions made it possible for Oscar to see his first birthday and move on to his forever home. OSCAR'S OWN FACEBOOK PAGE IS HERE Donate via PAYPAL HERE.
