A new month is here, which means it’s time to introduce another of our beautiful pets to you. At Scallywags, we get out and meet a special pet every month so we can share them with our lovely customers (my favourite job!). Get ready for some paw-some photographs and cute canine quirks!
Introducing the super-handsome Oscar!
Good afternoon, Oscar!
Oh, hello! Do you have treats?
I do, but would it be okay if I ask you some questions first so our readers can get to know you a little better?
And then there will be treats?
Yes, once we are finished there will definitely be treats.
Okay, I’m in!
Brilliant! All this talk of treats is making me hungry. Tell me, Oscar, do you have a favourite treat?
I eat ANYTHING. But I love chicken strips the most. Daddy gets them from Scallywags and then wraps them around delicious treats like cheese or carrots for me.
That sounds yummy! So, is Daddy your best friend?
Yes! Wait, no. I mean, my Nana is my best friend because she gives me breakfast and dinner.
Is the way to your heart through your stomach?
Yes! It’s important to know I am open to more best friend candidates, depending on the quality and quantity of snacks they provide.
You and me both!
Mmmm….snacks.
I have heard though that sometimes the snacks can make you a bit windy.
Yes, and stinky. And sometimes the toots are so loud that I make myself jump!
We’ve all been there, there is no shame in it. What do you do to calm yourself down afterwards?
I play with my tennis balls, I have so many. I have even picked a favourite one for each day of the week!
Tennis balls are great! Do you ever take them to the park?
Yeah, Daddy takes me on lots of walks. He is a bit silly though and keeps throwing the balls far away, but I am helpful and always bring them back for him.
Aww, it sounds like you are a very helpful pup!
I like to help, I even help Daddy at work sometimes.
Lucky Daddy! You are a very clever pooch, aren’t you?
Yes, my Nana says I should be a Police dog.
I think I agree! Maybe you should apply?
No, they don’t let you have tennis balls, I asked.
Well, it’s their loss. So, Ozzy, can you describe your perfect day for me?
Yes, I have it all planned out. It would start with treats, then balls, then a walk – with balls, then treats, then maybe another walk, then I would count my tennis balls, then playtime, followed by treats. Then when I gets super tired, I would snuggle up and sleep in the middle of Daddy’s bed.
Now that’s a perfect day! Thank you so much for your time today, Oscar. Just before I get the treats ready for you, I have one last important question.
Then treats? Do you promise?
I promise!
Okay.
Are you a good boy?
As long as you don’t try and take my ball away then I’m a little angel!
