    Buster gives me a pleasant surprise.

    This just makes me smile. 

    Last week a friend of mine came over with her dog (a beagle /basset mix possibly) who is not really very social.  All of my dogs greeted her (they were excited to have another girl around, I think LOL).  And Buster just totally shocked me.  He was jumping around, playbowing, and just making a big goof out of himself and unfortunately she wanted nothing to do with any of them. 

    Buster is almost 14 years old, was diagnosed with bone cancer more than a year ago, said to only make it 3 - 6 months, and is now jumping around like a puppy.  It was just something that I love to see.  Every so often he gets these bursts of energy that just crack me up.  He very rarely acts like he is almost 14, but to see him playbowing was just great.  My four don't really "play" with each other (I wish they would) but to see Buster like that was just great.

    That's all.  I just wanted to share.  Big Smile

     Good boy Buster!  It is wonderful when the 'oldies' have a burst like that

    My sister has a nearly 14 yr old lab and when I visited last month we were all hanging out at her house and the kids were all playing and this lab ran and ran and ran chasing the kids and the ball - we knew she'd be sore later but she was soooooooo happy.  Really warms the heart
