Oscar continues to do well! He recently met the Governor of Montana, Gov. Brian Schweitzer, a noted Border Collie lover. Accompanying Gov. Schweitzer is "Jag", his own Border Collie (pictured behind him, shyly greeting a brown and white BC). In the picture, the Governor is holding out a red and yellow tennis ball for Oscar. Oscar looks as if he may have approached the governor with a big huge butt wag!
I am unsure if Oscar ever had epilepsy as I have heard different things from 2 places while trying to assist animal control and shelter workers in the Butte area catch who did this thing to Oscar. (Check out the previous post about Crash and her brother.)
Crash gained 10 pounds in the first month in her new home and also continues to be doing very well and reportedly learning a lot!
I know Rosie and I hope that the investigators in the Butte area, Montana can pin down who beat and threw Oscar into the dumpster, and when we find out for sure what happened and whodunit, I will post it HERE!
In the meantime, our fingers are crossed to win the House and Garden Network Dream home in Montana. (Hey, there is a reason it is called a "dream" home you know... so let us!)
"Is tu gra mo croi." Jayden's Rowena, or Rowena (meaning: "White Mane") is the name of the beautiful black and white freckled Border Collie that I have raised and trained to become my service dog. She has given me something that many care providers have never been able to give me... an increase in my level of functioning that has enabled me to become a more active member of my community. This is a journal of the triumphs and trials of our wonderful partnership.
