fridays with oscar
last week, oscar patiently waited for a house guest to arrive—dante. as you can see, oscar is ten times the little pup’s size. at the beginning, dante was uncertain. but can you really blame him? they’re a real david and goliath matchup, but both dogs have sweet temperaments. at the end of the day, they enjoyed one another’s company. walks were taken, treats were dished out, and several laps around the house were logged as they played tagged. friends forever, those two.
now can you believe christmas has come and gone already? i am one tired mama, but the djalali clan +1 had a terrific time opening presents, munching on christmas cookies, and watching movies. (LaLa Land—go see it. an extremely well-done movie all the way from the writing to the acting.) one-by-one my kiddos made the trek back to their respective homes. and now the house is quiet as a mouse.
but mr. style, oscar, and myself all look forward to ringing in the new year. i don’t know about you, but i’m excited to see what 2017 has in store!
oscar and i wish each of you a lovely weekend! happy new year, ladies. see you next year.

Dante looks only slightly worried…after all, Oscar probably seemed like a giant to him. Glad to hear they all got along famously. You always look great in black and white. Happy New Year! xoxo
lol! he was a bit worried at first. but oscar won him over by the end of the trip.
happy new year, sweet friend! wishing you a prosperous 2017.
xoxo
Happy New Year Beth. I enjoyed “meeting” you ,on your blog this year, and look forward to seeing you in 2017..Bonnie in Central Wisconsin

Oscar and Dante look like sweet buds. And you look great–love those shoes! I’m sure I have too many shoes, (what’s that?) but I’m always a sucker for a good-looking pair.
Made me smile: we are babysitting “the kids,” (two teeny pups weighing about 10 lbs together–and even together, they hardly make up the equivalent of one whole dog!) They are entertaining–we’ll have them here for a week while their parents head to the Keys for a New Year celebration. Olivia and Lenny follow us around and cuddle with us to their hearts’ delight. Lots of walks outside, and watching the birds from inside, at the windows overlooking the back deck. New Christmas toys are fascinating, and so are dog treats: any cherished time we get out the bag, tails wag like crazy.
Very exciting stuff. Life should be so simple. I want to come back as one of them next time. Seriously. Happy New Year!!
dante and oscar had a grand time together. even if dante was overwhelmed by oscar’s size.
what’s this about too many shoes? my hands are over my ears and i’m saying, “lalalalalalal.”
so happy you rang in the new year with your grand pups! what could be better than that.
xoxo
