It's nap time, right?
I always ride in the front! Home, James
Handsome stud-muffin!
Better let me in, it's cold out here!
My kids have always complained that I 'treat Buster better than I ever did any of them." to which I respond that 'I don't have to raise him to be a responsible adult'. Consequently, of course, we have a very spoiled dog. He isn't polite to company, he sleeps where he wants, makes a nuisance out of himself when he wants something, and always looks so forlorn when we leave him for extended amounts of time. Ron reminds me often that "He's a dog!" His life is easy and no doubt more comfortable, unfortunately, than many people in third world countries experience. I am filled with guilt. (sort of)
Buster started off with a Boston Terrier breeder who also had his two sisters. Since the breeder wanted more puppies he couldn't use Buster with his sisters. After a year of not being sold, Buster was listed on the internet at a very cut rate price. In December, Ron went hunting near Buster's home and I made him go check this cheap Boston terrier out. I didn't want a dog with something wrong with it, but as it turned out, he was just not a puppy anymore. We got him for an even lower price than we were asking and Buster happily rode away with Ron to come live with us. I was thrilled. He adapted so quickly it wasn't hard to spoil him. Ron calls him 'that dumb mutt' (and other such terms of endearment) I'm a little more, well, sweet with my endearments. We've had him for 9 years and i can't remember what it was like not to have a dog warm your legs when your napping. Or sit adoringly at your feet while you eat supper. Or what it was like without my own personal leg licker! He's a ball chaser, fetch player, bird chaser, walk loving, beggar. Buster unabashadedly loves people and expects the same from everyone. (though he is a bit confused by those people who insist he do what they say...one weimeraner owner comes to mind) We have had many dogs in our life time, and this is the first one who has been such a big part of the household. I'll keep him around as long as I can.

Sue,
Buster is no dog he is a human in a dog body.
There is nothing more fun then sitting outside and seeing Buster run up and greet me as he walk bye.
He is also a huge hit with the neighbor kids as well.
I always say a dog is better then kids, they never ask for money, to borrow the car and seldom come home after curfew.who could ask for anything more.
My Josie loves to go to grandpa and grandma for a pampering petting sesion.
Yes dogs are best friends.Now go give Buster a hug from me.
His gas! You forgot to write about his gas. Oh mercy. Phin will be riding him soon, I guess. Phin is a big "woof woof" fan.
Had a good laugh Saturday afternoon.I was talking to the neighbors and who comes over but Buster.Guess he just wanted to say hi to the neighbors.He ran to all of us got some petting and hi Buster's in and left when his mommy came to get him.
