What you are about to read are the tales
and adventures from BUSTER the Beagle.
Me and my dear old Mum
Trim meeting my new family
to be, Sharon and Mark.
Hiya you guys
Had a chat with Sharon (the human) about your suggestion and we think it would be great fun idea to have a Buster's Diary page .
I can't belive that people migth read
about me. Fame at last, Maybe I should start getting my photo sorted ( need to show people how handsome I am.
I'll have to forgo the worries about being
suitably pungent so that I can look my best for the photo session that
will naturally have to be done....hang on a minute .....Sharon says not to get to far ahead of myself. time to think back......
Your never guess what, the humans have enrolled me on
Dog Training Lessons, Started last Thursday,
What a hoot I made sure that I was the noisiest puppy there!!!.
I'm trying my best to do well if I
say so myself (although I have my little lapses in
the attention span area) I'm not
doing too bad on the whole.
I now have a outside Kennel which I love, Mark made sure it has been built to last
and he has not long finished decorating the old pad,
even though I did't get to pick the colours of the walls
and carpet, I have to say he hasn't done a bad job.
Anyway, gotta dash, it's nearly breakfast
time and I don't want to miss my
constitutional with Mark around the park,
Woof Woof for now
Buster.
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee......Woof, Woof...not long
before I get to see Mum & Dad (and you Guys of course).Will be great to visit my
old stomping ground next week or so.
I Didn't do very well at training last week, just couldn't be
bothered really, I suppose, if I'm honest.
Well, to tell you the truth...I was dog tired by the time dog
training came around at the end of the day.
Mark had decided that day to take me for a long walk during the day and
then I went running
with sharon just before dog classes
in the evening ....well..I ask you, WHAT can they expect.
When I was supposed to sit beside
Sharon and then walk to heel I
had already made my mind up that I
wasn't going anywhere so I decided to
stage a "one-dog strike"
and laid down.
That will show her I thought.
She THEN had to drag me along
until I was encouraged to get up and walk.
Mind you ....I taught her a lesson..... I decided to play
for a bit with the dogs either side of me,
that showed her, she won't be walking me far
and running me lots in
the future before dog training
lessons again...hah!!!.
Woof Woof for now

Must tell you- got some new toys this weekend
as the others that I had,
sort of "lost or dirty in the garden" !!!
Sharon and Mark wouldn't let me bring them indoors
after that, not sure why really.
I have started to landscape the back garden
and I think it's looking well good,
pity Sharon and Mark don't see it evolving as I do....
never mind I live in the hope that they will
develop my canine sense of how
gardens should really look....before long!!!
How sad that they don't have the same
imagination as myself...hehe.
I love surprising them with the odd sock or two
that I manage to borrow from the house and re-locate
in the garden somewhere under the trees and leaves.
They alway seem surprised when I trot in two
weeks later with the sock and proudly present
it to them.I think it's a brilliant game and I love surprising them.

My dog training is coming along a treat....
I was very good last week.
I must admit it took me a week or so to settle into this lark
but I quite enjoy it now. It's great to get together with the others, we chat quite a bit
to start with but the trainers come along and lesson begins.
I'm quite good but Sharon struggles to behave herself(whilst Mark sits at the side and watches)
I have started running with Sharon in the evenings, so our walks are turning
into a comfortable trot for me,
whilst Sharon stuggles to keep up -
its quite funny really, you have to be there to see it.
Anyway , I'd better go - it will be so exciting to see Mum and Dad again -
hope they remember me ?.

Hey, so pleased to see you lot last week . I had such fun down on the farm. Was a bit worried first of all when your lot decided
to sniff me out, but, hey,
I must have smelt OK in the end, 'cost they played with me .
What fun I had. So great to see you all agian.
I like the look of that new bit of stuff
you have on the farm.... what's her name again...Tina isn't it?
could fancy that one meself.
We had a brilliant time down in Wales,
still don't like that big puddle that's on the end
of that yellow stuff they call sand. Why does it aways want to chase me?
I was too dog tired to eat some nigths and just flopped into my bed,
couldn't even raise an eyelid when it was suggested
I go out for one last toilet trip before
Sharon and Mark turned in for bed.
I must admit, I did find the humans in Wales
very receptive to my breed and good looks, got loads of comments
on handsome I was, but, hey,
you know that anyway !!.
I got no end of bowls of water put out for
me when the humans had to stop for a t-break etc.
I was sad to be leaving Wales and really would love to visit again.
Got a bit bored on the journey home and
decided to shorten my leather lead for Sharon,
she didn't appreciate the end result and they had to
go out an buy me a new one.
The new one is a "Man's" colour anyway. a nice black one although
Sharon say she
preferred the tan one as it matched my lovely marking.
She'll get used to it.....
WOOF WOOF
For now

Mark took me to Dog training this week Sharon had hurt her back.
What a shambles.....!!
He only went and let me off the lead
before the lesson when we
where walking down by the river.
Well, have to tell you, I saw some rabbits,
just had to go over and introduce myself.
As usual this breed of creature doesn't seem to want to hang around to say hello.
That doesn't bother me, I still go over,
never one to turn an opportunity down...
however, I failed to Notice the big bank of stinging nettles that those darn rabbits
hopped through .
I followed them and WOW...........it
certainly made the lesson more interesting
for Mark that all I can say...!!!!

Heating broke down on Xmas day!!
Sharon and Mark had her Mum and Dad around
for the Xmas period and some other people who
I know. It was all very exciting, all these people
coming to see me and they all brought presants for me.
I had to unwrap them - which was such fun.
I was so spoilt and such a very lucky beagle.
Mind you, I made short work of most of the toys I
received and so didn't appear to have
them for very long before they were whipped away from
me and put into the big "eatey thing" in the
corner (where stuff is put and never comes back).
I tasted some Xmas dinner as Sharon very kindly saved me some
tasty veg and stuff. On Xmas day Mark drove us and Sharon's parents down to the seaside
for a brisk walk along the beach....
Sharon's Mum and Dad had a little walk and then she went back to the car with
them and Mark and I raced along the beach for a bit, that was so good to feel the sea
air against my ears. We then got in the car and went home.
It was a bit cold for the humans,
but, I was OK.

I spent a night away from Sharon and Mark,
as I didn't feel very well at all and hurt quite a bit.
I was taken to see Pip at the vet surgery, she's a nice lady. She checked me over and then
put me to sleep for a bit whilst they took pictures of my lovely tummy.
I had to lose some of the hair from my front paws so that they
could poke me with a long pointy shiny thingy
to make me snooze for a bit
and I had to stay to have fluids overnight.
I had a temperature and also had to have some antibiotics an painkillers.
Pip made me wear this funny cone-shaped white collar...
It was MASSIVE so I couldn't quite see where
I was going and kept bumping into the side
of the door.....
I remember Sharon talking to me and stroking me whilst I was "out of it"
and she did give me a lovely kiss goodbye and a big cuddle
before she left me for the night.
Anyway Sharon picked me up the next day but I still wasn't quite
right so she returned to the vets for some painkillers which worked a treat.
Sharon kept me company and slept downstairs with me for 3 nights
as I wasn't allowed outside for a few days and had to have complete rest.....
Yeh, right - I hear you say.
Man when those painkiller kick in I was soooo
up for it, I was like a dog possessed !!.
The vet didn't really find out what was wrong with me.
The pictures showed inside my tummy(ain't that clever) and you could see quite
clearly the portion of blanket that
I had consumed earlier on and there was something else
there too which Pip couldn't make out.
Anyway it didn't really matter to me
as these things have a way of working themselves out
(s'cuse the pun) and I "pooped the blanket out the next day!!.
Sharon and Mark gave me a bath on saturday in the bathroom upstairs.
Sharon reckoned I needed it as I whiffed a bit.
Mark had walked me earlier in the day and I had
discovered some lovely bits and bobs to roll in
ooooooh it was luvely I can tell you,
such a treat however, the humans didn't
Apprecate the delicate scent
that had attached itself to my fur.
Anyway that my life up-to-date, so far.
I suppose I'd better go, I need a rest now
after dictating this very large e-mail.

Hiya you guys,
It's bit cold down our way and I reckon,
from listening to the humans, we could be
expecting some of that white fluffy stuff...
can't wait to go and play in it.
I have been waking up early the last two mornings, normally I like a lie-in until mark manages to pull himself
out of bed and take me for a walk,
I think it's because its colder than normal,
so I'm up to see Sharon before she gone to work- most of the time she has already gone,
and i don't see her until later.
We both get so excited when we see each other.
Most of the time I'm a good boy when we take a walk.
I must admit I do get a bit impatient with the humans
because they won't get a move on and then
I get most annoyed because they won't let me sniff
for very long when I do
finally find a smelly bit of ground.
Sharon has decided that she is going to make me
"sit for a bit"
every time I pull. Well, it seems to work most of the time but
the rest of it I just have the devil in me and
can't control my actions
and I just have to go with the flow...
if only the humans could do this too!!!
Woof Woof for now.
Buster
Woof Woof you lot
Yipeeeeeeeeeee, the white stuff's arrived, it's great,
sooo much fun
I woke early this morning and Sharon let me in one door and straight out the other.
Well..... once I saw the back garden
all covered in white - I couldn't resist going out in it.
Strange at first - stepping out in it - but.
once my little paws sank into the soft fluffy whiteness,
all hell broke lose(Sharon said).
I just ran and ran around the garden, leaping like a giselle (what one of them when they're at home)
from one side to the other, digging my nose
down deep into the white and then blowing it all out again.
I do belive Sharon got fed up waiting for me to come in.
Anyway, when I had enough I barked to go back indoors. wow, it was wonderful.
Then, it was all hands to the deck - 'cus five minutes later
I wanted "out" again,
got a bit impatient with Sharon - she wasn't
getting to the door quick enough to let me out so had to
bark to hurry her up, she was drinking her tea or somethink trivial like that.
As far as I'm concerned, time matters,
that white stuff might not be here for long,
need to get out and enjoy it while I can.
Busy, busy, busy.....
After that I was in and out like "a fiddler's elbow",
the garden looked a right state once I had finished with it.
I just felt that I had to race around through all the
untrodden parts,
churn it all up ,you know what it's like...!
Anyway, can't stop, I'm hoping to go out again,
as it's still snowing hard here.
Woof for now...
Buster
I would just to thank
Mark and Sharon for sending
us the updates on Busters life, it's alway
a big high light of the day when an email, pops
in from Buster.
Now Buster hopes you will enjoy them to.
