Earlier this year, little Buster departed for the rainbow bridge/the big yard in the sky. I wrote this to memorialize this proud doggy:

BUSTER

I am a happy canine prince
with four delicate paw prints

My coat is sooooo soft, it’s insane!
but I’ve heard I have a very small brain…

My barks are like little mouse squeaks
but I’m braver than 1,000 Greeks

I’m also told I have a peculiar snore
Like a tiny sleeping wild boar

I love to fetch the frisbee
I never know where it might take me

When I go out to recover the disc
there’s always a fair amount of risk…

Once I thought they threw it for a dog,
but when I grabbed it it was holding a frog!

I’m blessed to have had so many friends
Tucker, Wheatzie, Bodie… the list never ends

As the years wore on it got a little dimmer,
but that only improved my humor!

You see everything was happy for me
as carefree as a dog could be

I gave all the love I could muster,
<3, your loyal dog, BUSTER
