It's one year today since our darling
Oscar died so tragically and suddenly. While not wanting to be morose, we do feel it's important to keep his memory alive and remember annivesaries such as this and his birthday. In some ways it seems like the awful events of last year were only yesterday, such is the pain and loss we still feel, but in other ways it seems like a lifetime since we last cuddled, played and generally shared our lives with him. While we have obviously come to accept his death, the feeling of injustice and the shock of it will probably always remain.
We are thankful of the 10 months we got to spend with you Oscar, and despite the pain of losing you so young and so unexpectedly, we will be forever grateful that you came bowling into our lives as a 14 week old ball of fuzz.
Rest in peace Oscar. In our hearts for ever and ever.

We agree, it's important to remember days like today -- it's not morose, it's just loving.
We think of Oscar a lot, since we joined the DWB in late June and had barely gotten to know anyone on the DWB. Except we discovered Oscar, and we were astounded at what a sweet, funny, always there little guy he was. And then the outpouring of concern when he died taught us a lot about how the love of a dog can unite people into a caring community.
So, yes, we're thinking about Oscar today too. On a brighter note, July 28, today, is eight years since my now-husband took me out to dinner at a special place and proposed... so sadness thinking about Oscar and happiness at how my own life turned around are forever joined on July 28.

Katy, Martin, Harry & Cassidy, we share in your sadness today as we did one year ago. Our mom was making a Jackson wheelie and all of a sudden she remembered that today was the 28th and she had to come here to your bloggy. We will always remember sweet Oscar! We know he's very happy that you have Harry and Cassidy to continue his Airedale antics.
Aire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
Gosh, I wish I could have met Oscar. I know he made his way into so many on the blogs, cuz I see him everywhere. I know he was a very special airedale. I do not know what happened to him, but it looks like he had a great time while he was here.

I am sorry for your loss. Thanks for the slide show. I feel I know him now.
We have been thinking of you today.

For some reason Oscar touched my heart more than any other lovely doggin on DWB... and I still cry when I think of his wonky eyebrows and endearing grin and what we all missed out on when he passed too soon. Take time to smile over the good memories and tell Harry and Cassidy his stories. He will forever be in our hearts....
Love and peace to you.

He will be always in our hearts.

Dear Katie & Martin,
Losing someone you love, whether it is a furry friend or a loved one is so difficult, especially when it happened so suddenly. I can relate to what you said about the 'feeling of injustice and the shock' cos I felt exactly like this after my miscarriage. I reckon the day Oscar left, he took away a piece of your hearts with him, and ours too. He must be watching over the antics of his little sister with a proud smile on his handsome face (and probably feeling sorry for Harry for having to take on the 'big brother' role!)
Somehow I feel that Oscar is still sharing his adventures with us through Harry and Cassidy.
XOXO,
Huskee and his mom
Oscar you were one of our bestest maties and you'll always stay close to our hearts. We miss you.
Noah, Willow & Lucy

Our person first found Dogs with Blogs just before Oscar passed and remembers what a special boy he was. Even though we never met Oscar, we miss him and agree with Asta. He will always be with you.
Just looking at your photo collage of Oscar brings back so many memories. Before I began Kirby's blog, I would read all of the doggie blogs that I could find and I just loved Oscars. His blog was my inspiration for starting Kirby's. Oscar was a wonderful dog whose life is celebrated through the pictures and posts you have of him. I'm so happy that you chose to celebrate the life that he had! I hope he is watching over all of you from the rainbow brige and guiding Harry and Cassidy through each day!! :-)

Such a beautiful tribute for Sweet Oscar...Oscar's life and far too early passing brought so many people together from all over the world. It is LOVE at its finest. We celebrate his life everytime we go to someone's blog or read our own...we laugh,cry,ponder,and love.
Hugs for you all and special thoughts and prayers for Oscar on this day.

I can't believe it's a year ago since I read the sad news about Oscar.
The heartache seems like yesterday, but the cuddles seem a lifetime ago, that is so true.

Oscar was one of my first blogging buddies, and I will never forget him.
We cannot believe it is a year, my Jeannie cried and cried with you that terrible day, it was all so sudden and shocking.
