Oscar is the biggest love bug and obsesses about his toys. He carry’s them around whenever he gets a new one, it literally goes everywhere with him. See the giant Lamb chop. He was given this toy and won’t leave it alone. He has figured out how to get it onto the bed too even though it’s the same size as he is. I find him snuggling in his bed with it too. It’s very adorable.
