Buster died yesterday. He was only 10. He had two slipped discs, one in his back and one in his neck, and could no longer walk. It was a sad day for all who knew him and loved him. After I heard the news, I shared stories about Buster with Meghan. I remembered the time I looked out the lounge window and saw him being chased around the garden by a bumblebee, knocking over the garden table and chairs trying to escape. And the time we came home to find Buster had gone through the dustbin, and had created a huge amount of mess while eating everything he could, including a baby’s used nappy. And the time my mum came home to find Buster had spent the entire day sleeping on her brand new bed, and was so excited to be on it, that he pissed all over the sheets.
Good times.

Heartbreaking news, it’s a tragic shame he had to pass.
I’ll always remember Buster for the active and joyful attitude he brought and that great puppy-like innocence that he radiated us with.
I had countless days of fun with him and I wish the guy my best wherever he may be now.

Great memories Richard of a dog with real character – he will be greatly missed.

Hello darling, didn’t realise you could comment til Aunt Deb told me! How did I ever become a secretary – me and computers! Great to hear from Harrison, wish him all the best from me. Anyway, poor old Buster, still miss him, not his smell tho! Seems strange coming in and not seeing him by the front door on his bed. When I was with him when he died, the Vet said “he’s running around in Doggy Heaven now” – so sweet, thought that would please Harrison. However, when I told Viv – she said “causing havoc, more like, and getting into fights. He always did like a scrap.
Love and miss you xx
