Oscar is a bit of a lad. The notes at his vet describe him as a dog that gets into everything.
He has had an operation to remove a corncob from his stomach; locks have had to be fitted to the kitchen cupboard where the refuse bid is kept; he regularly opens the other cupboards below the worktop. He has chewed up the remote control for the lounge ceiling fan and a wireless mouse has somehow appeared in the garden.
The other dogs get unexpected treats when he empties the dog food bin in the garage even when it is on a high shelf with the lid weighed down with a large stone.
He is also known as 'guilty ears' - they give the game away when he knows he has been in mischief when his owners are not at home.
After he and the other dogs once caught a squirrel it's common for him to sit or stand beneath a tree for one to come down.

When he gets you like this you just wonder what he has been up to this time.
There is one thing he has still to work out -

| How to catch shadows |
- especially his own.
He is always in the driving seat.
