Buster: 1/3 - Checking out the pet store

I tagged along to the pet store with my foster mom and dad and one of the resident hounds. I wasn't sure why we were hanging out there. Foster mom said it's good for me to get out and see the world. Well, there were a lot of interesting smells. But the best part was that I was very popular with other shoppers, so I got a lot of pets from people big and small. And a lot of treats for being a good boy.

Looking around to get the lay of the land.

See how handsome I am?

Cat toys?  Where's the dog toys?

No kittens home, but it sure still smells good.

Buster: Dec. 28 - Happy Holidays!

Well, it's been a while since I've checked in. You know how it gets with the holidays and all. Christmas as a pet is way different than at the racing kennels. And I really like it. It was full of a lot of people who were all happy to pet me endlessly! Not too much to report, but my foster mom took a lot of pictures of me recently. Mostly in my dog bed, but she wants to share them anyways.

Foster mom thought I looked cute with antlers. I don't think so, but I was willing to try.

Nothing like a comfy bed.



The resident hounds have been very good about sharing with me. I'm the one in the front.

It got really windy one night. I couldn't believe that the resident hounds could just sleep through all of it.

Sharing with the other resident hound. I'm in the back.

I'm learning how to get comfortable.

My thoughtful look: what will my forever family be like?

Buster: 12/30 - Settling in

Well, I've been retired for a few weeks now and I'm really getting in to the routine. My foster family wants you to know that I've learned how to navigate steps and I'm very good at letting them know when I need to go out (no accidents!). I'm been watching and learning from the resident pack. They've showed me how much fun it is to go outside and play and how much fun toys in the house can be, too. Although foster mom gets frustrated because every time I start to play with toys, she grabs her camera and I stop. So you won't see any pictures of me with toys, unless she gets much faster.  Here's some pictures she did get of me this past week.

We go out for a walk almost every morning. I was fascinated by the Christmas lights.

I'm not a counter surfer, but this counter's set at 30" which makes it easy to sniff.

I stood still long enough for foster mom to get a photo of me.



What are those resident dogs doing now?

I love being outside. I don't even mind the cold! But for walks, foster mom makes me wear a sweater.

Buster: 12/7

I'm Buster and I'm the new kid on the block. I just arrived this past Saturday in Maryland. It was a little overwhelming at first, but then my foster mom loaded me into the car and took me home. Once I got there, I saw that things were different but in a good way. I met the resident greyhounds and terrier. Then they all kind of let me be, which was good. It gave me a chance to look around and figure things out.

I quickly figured out the most comfortable bed in the place and the perfect place to lay down in the kitchen: on the heat register. I figured out the steps pretty quickly too. Here's a few pictures from my first few days.

I'm the one in the back on the rug and on the heater.
I can't believe that any dog would choose the hard
cold floor over a nice rug and warm back end 

 

Here's the world from my view.

Foster mom wanted you to see my awesome profile.
