Happy 10th birthday to our beloved Oscar, our very first companion who has taught us the meaning of unconditional love.

It’s quite unusual for a Flatcoat to reach this age and there was a time when we thought he wouldn’t see his fifth birthday but he recovered increasingly well from whatever it was ate away most of the inside of half of his nose. Not cocaine.

Flatties are known as the Peter Pan of dogs and ours, true to this description, shows no sign of leaving puppyhood as you can see from the blurry third photo. He’s a lesson to us all.

Happy birthday, darling boy. May you be blessed with at least a few more.
