Niamh’s wonderful teacher gave her this prayer for Oscar’s burial …
OSCAR
O God of all life, human and animal,
we thank you for our pet Oscar.
Our wish was to care for him,
show kindness to him,
have him for our companion and pet.
As you have given us charge over all things,
we deem it fitting that he should not suffer any further.
He will return to the earth from whence he came.We ask your blessing upon him,
our faithful and loved companion.
We do this with great sadness
but with great concern and fondness for him.
Look at our hearts and comfort us.
Help us to be always moved by those who need us.
We ask your special blessing on us.
In you we trust.Clayton, you have the sweetest little face. It sounds like you have a great Foster Home too. Where did this cute little thing come from?
These are some photos of our time with Oscar – from long hair to short hair to long hair again!
3 amigos.jpg’11.jpgwe should fold!.jpgThank you all so much for your kind words which mean so much to us. We’ve shed so many tears over the past 10 days but there’s been great comfort in knowing that there are ‘Doggie-people’ who understand what we’re feeling.
Right now our lives feel so empty but we keep reminding ourselves that our lives were enriched by Oscar. The 19 months he was with us were wonderful and the memories are very precious. Oscar brought out the playful puppy in our dog Max (age 7) who had thought he was human until Oscar moved into his patch and taught him how to charge around the house, launch himself off the back of the sofa, drag cushions around the house… I could go on and on… Poor Max.
Oscar had inherited a ‘gene’ that meant he was predisposed to seizures which could have started anytime from birth to the age of 5. It just seems so unfair that our ‘little tatty teddy’ had such a terrible start to what was going to be a short life. Thankfully he found Dogs in Distress and they turned things around for him.
I’m attaching a photo of Oscar that my daughter took with her phone as she was heading off to school that morning – 2 hours before Oscar became ill. He loved to sneak up to her bedroom just before she left and he’d lie on her bed for most of the morning.
Thank you all for your kindness to us but above all to our beloved Oscar xx
’12.jpgOMG Rocky & Tibi you are all grown up! What a difference a few months make, I’m happy to hear that Casper is tolerating you from his throne (aka tree), I’d love to know what thoughts go through his mind as he looks down on on you both!
Best wishes to the wonderful ‘human’ members of your household!
