Buster

I have Buster's picture on my BLOG and thought people should know about him. I love dogs and like to have one around. Buster is special. He is mostly Beagle but has a little mix. He is somewhere between five and eight years old. If you have ever watched the Animal Planet you know about the dog training at Lansing Prison. After they train them they go to a shelter. I am not sure whether it is a shelter at St. Joseph or Bonner Springs. He is named Buster because he busted out of prison. He comes to you with all his shots and has a chip in case he gets lost. Buster has some bad habits. He chews things--books, plastic toys, etc. A good friend told me to put Vick's Vaporub on a piece of paper and stick it in the books and that works. I lost a few books first. Mainly cross word puzzle dictionaries. It said he slept with his trainer but he and I soon learned that was not for us and with a little Vick's on my nose he sleeps on the sofa in the front room.

He is great on weather. If the weather is bad he is right there but if it is just a warning he relaxes and goes back to the front room. I know he would like to go for walks but that is out and I have a large fenced in backyard with lots of rabbits, squirrels and birds for him to chase. If I just close the screen door when he is out, he uses his nose and opens it. He does complain about some TV shows by wanting out when I am just about to finish them. They give you a list of what you should provide your dog and the only one I really fail in is I don't give him baths. Maybe I can train him to stand in the rain. You can see by his picture that he is a great treasure.
