Meet Buster! Buster was a faithful, loyal, gentle companion and happens to have been my first childhood pet (well, the first I vividly remember anyway)! Although he lives now only in our memory, he was quirky, fun, and unforgettable! I invite you to read more about Buster and honor his memory with me below:

- Family Favorite Memories:
- “Watching Buster go down the slide”
- “When he ran away, and we found him with a lady dog”
- “How he fathered two great little pups”
- “Watching him interact with his fur family complete with Chloie, Mollie, and Maggie”
- “How he lived until age 22 on Kibbles and Bits (i.e. McDonald’s of the pet food industry)”
- “His survival after being hit by a car”
- “Seeing how happy he was when we first rescued him from the snow and freezing cold”
- “When we came home from Florida and picked him up at Nan and Pops and saw how happy he was, butt-wiggling and all”
- “How he was truly ‘man’s best friend'”
- Life Lesson Learned From Buster: Dog’s can be a child’s first best friend. They can teach us how to love and be loved unconditionally. For that, we are ‘furever’ in debt to our four-legged companions!
