Are you ready for a new chance to win a book? One of mine along with a grab bag book by a different inspirational fiction writer. One winner each week until the end of March. Usual rules apply. You have to be 18 to play the game and any comment on a new post will get you entered. But let’s exercise our imaginations and have some fun with this contest.
What Would Oscar Say?
So what you need to do is look at Oscar in this picture and imagine him ready to say something. What would he say? Or pretend he’s starring in an ad for some product and add a tag line to the picture. Or imagine whatever you wish and write a line to go with the picture. It can be funny. It can be serious. It can be anything as long as you keep in mind that Oscar is a very good dog and only uses polite language even when I’m trimming his toenails. 🙂
First Winner picked Next Sunday
I’ll pick a winner next Sunday out of whoever comments on this post and/or on Wednesday’s post. I’ll hunt up a different photo for Wednesday night’s post. So think of something crazy or something sweet. Oscar won’t care. Right now he’s laying here behind me snoring away.
Meanwhile Back at the Farm
My first Heart of Hollyhill book, Scent of Lilacs, is still on e-book sale for 99 cents. If any of you have read my book that introduces Jocie and family and friends to readers, it would be good to know what you thought of the story. So if you can’t think up any words to put in Oscar’s mouth, you can comment about Jocie. Here’s the Amazon Kindle link if you’re interested in checking it out. Can’t get much for less than a dollar these days.
And not only that, flowers are beginning to poke up through the ground and open blossoms to the sun. One week until Spring shows up on the calendar, but I’m okay with it sneaking in early. How about you?
Last but not least, I have plenty of bookmarks for my two Hidden Springs mysteries, Murder at the Courthouse and my upcoming release Murder Comes by Mail. I have some of my other titles too. If you’d like a few autographed bookmarks, send a self-addressed stamped #10 envelope to me at PO Box 414, Lawrenceburg, KY 40342, and I’ll be happy to put some in the mail to you.
As always, thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing what you have to say for Oscar. 🙂

“I’m not budging until I get my biscuit; I don’t care how deep this snow gets.”
Author
That’s a good one, Carol. I think Oscar would definitely say that!
It’s not easy to look this good, but I think I have mastered it,
Woof ya’ think ??
Author
Cute, Gayle. He likes that salt and pepper look. Fun caption.
“You just used that awful dandruff shampoo on me yesterday! Don’t tell me we have to go through that AGAIN!”
Author
Oscar would definitely not want to go through that again, Pam. He tries to make himself scarce any time I pick up the hose.
“I thought that groundhog didn’t see his shadow. This doesn’t seem like Spring to me!”
Author
That’s a cute twist, Amy. I’m sure Oscar would be very curious were we to run across a groundhog. They used to be thick around our way, but a few bad winters back in the Seventies thinned them out to almost nonexistent. A few have made a return in the last several years.
“Who you building the new house for? Are we getting a new dog?”
Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House
Author
I can answer that one, Kathleen. No. Well, at least not right now. Oscar prefers all the attention. 🙂
“Wha da ya mean, I can’t go with you!!!”
Author
Now that one he might say, Karen, if we’re walking. If we’re going in the car, forget it. Oscar doesn’t like cars.
Guess I need to stay away when they’re cutting down trees ! That sawdust flies every where ! Oh! Never mind, it’ll come off when I give it a good shake !
Author
Fun, Faye. A little different look at those flakes. And I do hope he’d shake those off before he wants inside. 🙂
You told me Winter was over.
The other answers I thought of (powdered sugar, dandruff) were already mentioned. 😱
Author
Good to be original, but duplicate answers would have been okay, Ann. Maybe my picture Wednesday will have more chance for different answers. Hmmm, what can I post?
Wow, I sure like our walks when it is spring!
Author
Oscar does like those spring walks, Peggy. Of course, he’s okay with winter walks too.
Oh my goodness, I’m not that old yet and my fur is already turning white, where’s the bottle of dye?
Author
This is cute, Connie. He’s ready for a dye job. LOL.
Mom, either it’s snowing out here or I have a serious case of dandruff!!
Author
The dandruff is the first thing I thought of, Marihelen.
It’s snowing at the neighbors! Can I come inside?
Author
That’s a cute twist, Deborah. Fun.
I think it’s time I try that Head & Shoulders shampoo.
Author
Looks like it’s going to be a big job, Karen. I have to tell you Oscar hates shampoos. LOL.
Baby it’s cold outside !
Author
I guess it was that day, Evelyn, and Oscar was probably ready to go inside.
New shampoo claimed ‘will help with flakes’….thought that meant get rid of them, not multiply them…. Woof is me!
How’s that for corny?
Author
I like it, Linda. I thought of dandruff right off when I posted the picture. The “woof is me” is a nice touch. 🙂
Author
Great captions, guys.
Rory, yours rings true with us hoping spring is here. Oscar could definitely be saying that.
Trish, Oscar wasn’t shaking it off so could be he does love that salt and pepper look.
Marji, yours made me smile. Oscar is a very sweet boy.
My answer is filled out above..Gee,I thought it was Spring. Why
more flakes of snow of my back?
Gee, I thought it was Spring . Why are there more flakes of snow on my back?
gotta love that salt and pepper look….
No need for powdered sugar, Mom…..I’m already sweet enough!
