Oscar loves playing ball. And now he has a ball machine! Let's see how he reacts.

Oscar doesn't care for bread, but he wouldn’t let the crows and the squirrel get any. 😅

Oscar went shopping, visited the dog beach on Coronado Island, made lots of friends, had his picture taken at the big Christmas tree in Hotel Del Coronado lobby, and got a new squeeky toy, which he loved! With street music by Josué Gascot

Guaranteed to brighten your day! The sound track is street music performed by James Brown and Keyon Green. They often play next to the San Diego Junior Theatre on Village Place, in Balboa Park on Sunday mornings. Thank you for the fun, James and Keyon, you make life more wonderful! I’ve made another video of them performing some great pieces.

I usually have a new toy when I visit Oscar. This time I surprised him with a balloon. He had never seen one before. Although he was excited and interested, and his tail kept wagging, he was also scared of the balloon. Later, we took him for a nice nature walk, and he was all sweet and happy again!

We were listening to a brass band at a shopping mall playing Christmas carols when Oscar decided to join in to everyone’s amusement. Oscar is my daughter's dachshund; she adopted him from a shelter about 3 years ago. He usually howls along with the fire engine siren, but this was the first time he "sang" in a band! He’s got talent!

It’s getting colder and the holidays are coming. I thought it would be fun to knit a beanie hat for Oscar. We’re ready to try it on. Oscar is so patient while we can't stop laughing! He doesn’t like his ears covered up, but at least his neck is staying warm... And he looks so cute!

Oscar is waiting at the door of his favorite Italian restaurant for his free sausage treat. His tail is wagging, his eyes are glowing, he’s really excited! But something is wrong. His friends aren't coming to the door to greet him as usual – it’s their day off. Oscar walks inside the restaurant to find them. He decides to do his best trick: rolling on the ground. Will it work? The staff are all happy to see him! I think in the end he got some sausage!

One day, Oscar was walking past an Italian restaurant. The hostess noticed him and went in the kitchen to get some Italian sausage for him. The chef also came out to say hi. Oscar loved it! Since then he insists on walking to the restaurant whenever they are in the area to get some Italian sausage. You can tell by how fast his tail is wagging how excited he is!

Besides playing ball, Oscar loves toy animals, especially the ones that squeak. He likes hiding them, sleeping with them, and ripping them apart. One of my daughter's furry slippers is also in his collection. The pink teddy was Oscar's first toy after my daughter adopted him from the animal shelter, and he played with it for hours. His look at the end is so cute; he seems to say, thank you!

"I smell a bunny! Where is it? Oh, now I see it! It's a big bunny! It's not on a leash. Better not bother it. We both like grass."

We took Oscar to the Coronado Island dog beach for him to have fun and meet other dogs. We didn’t know what to expect and how he would respond to so many dogs running around him because he had been in an animal shelter after having been a stray for probably a long time. At the animal shelter he seemed timid and depressed and wouldn't interact with other dogs. But it turned out, Oscar is quite social and made many new friends! He loves dogs his own size! He also stood his ground when some big dogs came too close or accidentally bumped into him.

My daughter got Oscar from an animal shelter. He had been living on the streets for a long time and was in bad shape, very skinny and sick. Nobody wanted to adopt him because he looked too sick. She took him home and nurtured him back to health. He's such a character! We love him! I have posted more Oscar videos on my playlist: Oscar the Dachshund

We got Oscar from an animal shelter. He had been living on the streets for a long time and was in bad shape, very skinny and sick. But he loved playing ball, that was his passion and still is. This is the first time Oscar met Sven, the youngest member of our family. They hit it off right away. Sven played a lot of ball with him, and Oscar never tired of it, always wanting more. He didn’t have to say anything, he just looked at Sven without blinking, and that meant, “Come on, let’s play some more!”

We met this cool cat and his owner on the bluff off Sunset Blvd in Ocean Beach. He stayed very calm when dogs got close to him and acted like he was also a dog. In fact the dogs felt a bit confused and didn't want to get too close to this "dog-cat."
