Buster came to us when my daughter, now 15, had just turned 3.  He was very much a part of our family and not just a pet.  I have taken care of him through many ailments and we even lost him for 24 hours after construction people let him out of our back yard.  I miss him terribly.  The pain is subsiding but will never completely go away.  Every one who met Buster loved him instantly.  He was just so sweet.  He always new when I was sick or sad or had just had a bad day and he would sit with me and let me rub his silky little ears.  I would love to rub those ears one more time.  There is a hole in my life now that won't ever close in.  We love you Buster, and will always miss you!!!!  Momma, Daddy, Sissy and Brother
