Yep — it’s me again. 
I want everyone on the planet to know about my person (the doctor) and his crazy SmartLipo Penny Sale. This won’t go on forever ’cause they’re covering their renovations costs at the office with the sale (great idea — who wants interest charges?) and the response has been brisk.
When the “number” is reached … the sale’s over.
Already had SmartLipo and would like to have one more area done? Grab a loved one or a friend and do this together!
(And they take CareCredit).
If you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about just check out my person’s blog or call 215-361-5030 and get the skinny on this amazing event.
It’s all good.
Now, it’s time for my bowl.

Oscar

Wait until you see his post on his blog!
Oh — sorry … Oscar here.
My person (the doctor) has a perfect win-win offer for you that you’d be freakin’ nuts not to take him up on … seriously.
You’ve been aching to get rid of fat-that-refuses-to-go-away (should be a noun for that) and now you can — at the deal of the Century.
And he has a good reason to do this — but he’ll have to tell you.
So read his blog — or if you’re on my VIP email list you’ll find out soon enough.
Fair warning: Be ready to be blown away!
‘Til next time,
Oscar

Hi — Oscar here,
Just want to give you fair notice. My person (the doctor) is about to launch a rant against mistreatment of cosmetic clients in the Delaware Valley. He was fuming about it this morning — tried to calm him down — but when he gets irate about how others are mistreated nothing will stop him.
Yeah, he’s usually warm and fuzzy (not as fuzzy as I am) but he really does have your best interests at heart.
Keep an eye out for it!
Time to watch my birds and bark at them through the window.
Keep ‘em in line, ya know.
Later,
Oscar

Oscar here,
Yep — it’s true. My person (the doctor) “tickled trout”. Clearly, you need an explanation.
Recall he grew up in rural Canada. ”Rural” here means a little farther drive to the Mall. “Rural” in those days in Canada meant … nowhere to go … nothing to do … unless you were self-creative and happy with what you created.
The other thing you need to know is Canadian boys often were quite taken with North American Indian culture and devoured all they could learn — especially survival techniques (all cool stuff).
My person would leave the house before dawn and be ‘gone’ all day. His parents’ only admonition was to be back in time for supper. So what in the world was he up to?
Exploring the fields, forest (Canadians call that “the bush”), and wild trout streams. If he wasn’t tapping sugar maples for sap to make maple syrup in the spring he went fishing a lot … but that wasn’t enough — he had to do it the hard (read “Indian”) way.
He “tickled” them.
He would spot a trout behind a rock in the stream in the Big Meadow full of clusters of milkweed (where days before he collected Monarch butterfly chrysalises for his terrarium to wait for their emergence) … and then sneak up on it … until finally, flat on his belly, he would ease his arm — palm up — into the water, imperceptibly moving his hand on the pebbly stream bed closer and closer to the trout finning away behind the rock.
Finally, his hand would be under the trout and gently he’d start stroking its belly with his fingers, gradually mesmerizing the fish until it settled into his hand.
Then all hell would break loose.
In one swift motion he’d golf the fish out of the water onto the bank. He’d then take a picture of the flopping fish … pick it up and hold it gently (head into the current so water would flow through it’s gills and give it oxygen) and when the trout was fully aware of its surroundings it would swim away … no doubt wondering in its fishy way what the heck just happened.
The whole exercise was simply to nail one more thing he’d read was a way Indians fished — enough for him.
It’s how he taught himself patience.
What’s this got to do with cosmetic medicine?
Absolutely nothing! Just thought you’d like to know who your doctor really is and what he did when he was a boy.
Now, all this talk about fish has made me hungry — gotta go check out my bowl.

What to write about? My person (the doctor) has been implementing so much lately I’m at a loss as where to start. Thinking … thinking.
What to write about?
Yes, I do most of my constructive thinking ON the computer before I start to write.
Ahhh — it’s come to me!
Be on the lookout for his announcement of your Loyalty Rewards program. This is simply the most unusual thing for a doctor to do — reward his awesome clients for being loyal!
But, I like it.
Back to the fireplace where it’s toasty and I can do some snooze-thinking.

Oscar

Hi — Oscar here.
I wanna talk about stress. It was brought home to me yesterday BIG TIME on my routine visit to the vet.
We cats have a special “rip your heart out” moan (for sympathy) saved just for these occasions.
My person (the doctor) simply turned his CD player to beautiful music … put his fingers through the wire of the cage door and stroked my head. No more moaning. I made it through the experience (expressing an appropriate amount of indignity of course) and on the way home … he did the same.
My person (the doctor) has a really big heart and a very soft side to him. I make sure he knows he is loved — unconditionally. It’s the least I can do.
Made me think how he handles stress — because I know through living with him that he, like you, has his share of stress.
So, I want to share with you how he does it.
I’ve noticed when my person (the doctor) is stressed he’s not his usual bouncy (sometimes really funny) self. He gets quiet and thoughtful.
He then talks to me (’cause there’s no one else around) and says, “Oscar — something is really bothering me and I want you to know I’m not going to blame circumstances or other people for it. It’s up to me to figure it out and either understand it — or fix it.” He has no clue I understand … though he’s been suspicious lately. Like when he says, “It’s bedtime” and I run up the stairs to our bedroom.
Back to how he handles stress ….
He will put on his beautiful music (like Jim Brickman’s piano playing) and begin to write. He writes a list of what’s bothering him — and reasons he thinks ‘why’ and then action steps necessary to remedy the situation.
Then he takes action. Sometimes his action is imperceptible — like closing his eyes and just “being with his feelings” — not suppressing them — just experiencing them until they dissipate. He told me once that this was the hardest thing for him to learn — because of the natural tendency people have to want to keep bad feelings around so they feel justified feeling badly towards someone.
I looked at him quizzically one day — asking him why he felt so strongly about this. He smiled and said, “What possible good can I be to others if I carry all of this useless emotion around?” ”Besides — I feel better about myself afterward — and my troubles seem smaller Oscar.”
Heavy stuff. Humans are so complex and carry so much hurt around.
I feel sorry for them. Glad my person (the doctor) has at least figured some of this out.
‘Till next time,
Oscar

Oscar here,
Holy Cats! (Now, where did that phrase come from?)
Have you seen my person’s (the doctor) blog about your Blow-Out Event of this Spring?
You’d be nuts not to attend — meet and mingle with clients who’ve had procedures done — learn the latest innovations for quick and easy permanent laser fat removal (that still gives me the willies but my person tells me it’s a no-brainer) and the latest trends in cosmetic medicine.
And now the Star, Jill Whelan is coming!
So kill the winter doldrums and come out! It’s Wednesday, January 21st from 9 to 5 — just around the corner right at the Center for Aesthetics.
Hold on, my person is whispering something in my ear — oh yeah — he wants you to call and register so they know how much food to order. Here’s the number: 215-361-5030.
There’s more: you’ll get to see your newly renovated Center for Aesthetics. Now, last time I was there I spent my time under my person’s desk — kinda shy you know.
But, I hear it’s a rockin’ place — all serene, peaceful, and easy on the eyes … like me.
So mark your calendars and come — and bring friends!
Gotta go monitor the birds … now if I could only move that window out of the way ….
Later,
Oscar

Hi all — Oscar here. It’s been almost a month since my last post — my bad. Gonna be a New Year’s resolution to write more.
Have been spending a lot of time in front of the window … strategically placed so my butt’s near the cozy fireplace and I can still see BIRDS. Yep — the equivalent of cat TV.
You see, my person (the doctor) put up a bird feeder just for me. :)
My TV
No — I can’t get to them ’cause of the window — but they sure can make your tail twitch, know what I mean? Wait a minute — maybe you don’t.
Something must punch your buttons though — and I’ll bet it’s Christmas (or whatever Holiday you celebrate.)
So I’m taking the opportunity to wish you and yours …
Peace, love, prosperity, success, and everything you’ve dreamed of over these Holidays and in the New Year.
Will write again sooner — promise — there’s lots gonna happen at my person’s office starting with a bang on Wednesday, January 21, 2009.
So mark your calendars and clear your schedules.
In the meantime — spend extra time with your loved ones and families. Never know when you can’t anymore. And be grateful. Gratitude is actually healthy.
Peace,
Oscar

Oscar here,
I’ve been doing some thinking — what — you didn’t know cats thought?! Wait ’til you read what I have to say before your make up your mind.
My person (the doctor) just posted some pithy thoughts about Thanksgiving (and even managed to work in Christmas ‘n stuff) and it’s pretty good.
But … I have a different slant on it all. Now before you get all disbelieving and all — know that my person-the-doctor has a significant library, and even he doesn’t know what I’m doing while he’s off sucking fat or fixing people who hate looking old … you know … all the ones about to turn 60. He thinks I spend my day chasing that cool fuzzy ball (well I do actually) but I also read! He’s got tons of stuff printed up on his desk and lots of books.
So here’s my take on Thanksgiving (or the state of feeling thankful):
- Psychologists say it’s impossible to feel grateful and unhappy at the same time. Think about that one long and hard.
- The feeling of gratitude comes from appreciation for life itself … or
- Deciding to focus on what is right in your life instead of what’s missing.
- Sometimes (if you get really wound up in this stuff) the ability of just being aware of yourself at all can give you a sense of profound gratitude (if it doesn’t give you the willies at first). What I’m sayin’ is our actual existence is nothing short of miraculous. Now that’s something to be grateful for. Why waste it by being ungrateful?
- Feeling grateful means you feel you have enough to be happy. But that’s not enough. Ya gotta pass it along. Let someone know you’re grateful for them too.
- Medical folks tell us people who feel grateful are less prone to depression. (Got that from an article on my person’s desk.)
Finally, there was a very old Chinese cat (Lao Tzu) who once said …
If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled.
If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
I’m just sayin’ ….
Oh — and Happy Holidays!
Later,
Oscar
PS: got a lot of my stuff from an article on my person’s desk from the people at Spiritual Wealth (www.spiritualwealth.com) so I’m giving credit where credit’s due.

Hi — Oscar here.
Yep, it’s true. Until the end of the year my person (the doctor) is giving away (at no cost to you) BIG Gift Cards for lots of procedures.
Use ‘em yourself … or as gifts. No — you don’t have to buy them — they’re for you as Gifts ’cause you’re so cool and loyal.
Hard to turn down a gift now, isn’t it?
You get to receive … and give. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Later,
Oscar
PS: this is (for now) just for our “blog watchers” and email subscribers. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. Sorta like me.
