Sometimes we humiliate Oscar too much and he has to go and hide! Usually he knows that these stupid collars - normally a green ribbon, but Mel got carried away here - mean lots of nice presents are coming. He can tell which are his under the tree Oscar is getting on now, and has to have Cartrophen and Metacam for his arthritis. He cannot walk for more than about 20 minutes, and should not go up and down stairs. Try telling him that though! We must be the only people with 30 year old children who have to have a stair gate fitted!
