I am so happy to announce that my Buster (Avatar's Robuster of Toris) turned 13 years old today! I guess that means that she is entering her 14th year as of tomorrow. She is a little slower than she used to be, but not very grey at all, and she is almost deaf, but otherwise she is healthy and just in wonderful shape. She has no arthritis or lameness anywhere, and she wanders all over the yard checking everything out each day. A year or so ago she developed the inner ear problem that older dogs get, but she did ok and adjusted to it, although she walks around with her head tilted. We think she just looks constantly inqusitive! Buster is by Select CH Ken-Delaine's Egoiste ROM OFA and out of Toris Candy Apple of Avatar. She was a showdog until she decided that it was a silly way to spend her weekends - she'd much rather spend it hanging out with mom. And, of course, Buster got her way! Happy Birthday to my dawg Buster!
