Buster Routines

Buster has this routine that, of late, indicates that I need to get out and walk him some more.

He gets Ron up at least once in the night. It's still cold enough that he isn't out too long, but it does interrupt an otherwise peaceful night's sleep. And last night he woke Ron up pushing his water dish around in the kitchen. He was out of water. So Ron had to fill that too.

In the morning he comes and snuggles with me while I read on the couch. He's pretty good while he waits for Ron to finish his morning routine. But when I get home from exercising I'd better be sure to FEED him. He gets two bone treats. Then he hardly has any patience while I get dressed. He likes me to be in the kitchen with him when he finishes breakfast. After all, I still have to give him his cheese treat. Boy this spoiling thing is coming back to bite me, I guess.

Ron leaves for work. I leave for work. Buster gets to spend most of the day in the kitchen or the basement.

After work, after supper Buster is ready to play. He needs exercise and stimulation. All that is left of the ball that we use to play with him with is not a a ball anymore at all. It's 3 rings stuck together, but still tossable. He will run after it until he collapses in a heap on the carpet. That usually gets him through the rest of the evening without being too much of a pest!

But boy, he's looking forward to spring as much as the rest of us are! He needs some walks in the evening...and in the morning....and to help Ron out with the new garage.
