Oscar Blue is a 3-year-old Mix in Pinellas Park, FL, who needs $2,000 for TPLO.

This precious pup came into my life when he was 6 weeks old. He has been such a joy. He is now 100.9 lbs. Blue loves his fenced in yard where he tries to catch squirrels and lizards. Mostly now he just watches them knowing he can't catch them. He gets excited when the fireworks start. Blue just watches the bright lights & loves to bark at them. He makes me laugh just watching him have fun.

Ever since he was a pup, he's slept under my bed. I had to get bed risers so he could fit. He lets me know when it's time to eat by pawing my lap & when it's time to go out, he gives me that look. Blue has doggy neighbors that he talks to through the fence. He gets along with everyone. On his nightly walks he loves to meet the neighbors. Even though he's a big boy, he thinks he's a lap dog.

In the mornings we go to the garden where he hunts for lizards and waits for me to turn on the sprinkler. He loves to be sprayed. Blue loves to sunbathe & roll in the grass. When family comes to visit, he thinks they are there for him. When it's treat time, he sits up, gives a high 5 & lays down then takes it gently. Blue is my buddy.

Blue had to have surgery on his right leg a couple of years ago. Now he needs surgery on his left leg. He's having trouble and limps all the time. It breaks my heart knowing how he wants to run & jump. I have to watch him to make sure he doesn't. We have a wonderful vet at Harborside Animal Hospital in Clearwater, FL.. We will use them this time too. They have a wonderful staff.

A bit about me .. I'm 71 yrs. old & live on Social Security. Without your help it will be a very long time to try to save up for his operation. We don't have that kind of time. So, a big THANK YOU in advance for any help you can give. God bless you all.
