Meet Buster The Love Sponge



Buster found his way to me after my old Chihuahua, Coco, passed away. He was such a good dog that I never though that I would want to try to replace him.  I was so saddened by losing him that my boyfriend insisted that I find another dog.

One day I was at my salon having my nails done and someone told me that they knew a girl who had worked there and wasn't taking care of her dog.  I was very interested and went over to her apartment the following day.  She was a hoarder and I had never in my life seen anything like that.

She looked for him for probably 5 minutes in the mess.  She pulled him out from the junk and roughly put him down on the floor.  The poor thing was shaking, under nourished and almost hairless.  I was holding him and I could feel him relax in my arms.  I knew that I had to get him out of there.

She offered to sell him to me for $100...which I actually laughed at! I told her that I was going to give her $20, handed it to her and walked out...she didn't follow me wanting more money which surprised me.

Buster has since been a joy to have with me.  He cleaned up real well and after a good bath and some Advantage he was soon looking good...he ate Pedigree dog food like it was manna from heaven.  Never have I seen a dog as intelligent and personable.  He's a funny little character and is loved by everyone that meets him....except for cops!

For some reason he has a dislike for policemen.  He suckers them into petting him and then hikes his leg and......waters his shoes!  Every time he's around one it will happen...but I will admit that there have been a couple of times that it was extremely comical!

My Granddaughters love him and he thinks my son, Rob, is the best thing since microwave popcorn. I know that he has enriched my life and I'm so glad that we found each other.
