Dear Friends

Much has changed with the passage of the years. I am wiser as well as older – whiter around the muzzle and a little less likely to leap without looking – but those who say that I bark more because I am a bit deaf are wrong – I just have a lot to say. The Man has grown old too, but less gracefully.  And if our walks are any guide, he is not as fit as I am. Unlike me, he has not looked after himself. I eat a carefully balanced diet, drink only water, take regular exercise and have my teeth cleaned every night.  All I can be sure about him is that he cleans his teeth.  But although he finds it difficult negotiating stiles, whilst I bound over them in one leap, he still hobbles along at the other end of the lead.  And my feelings about him are the same as they were on that December night when he found me in a basket outside the bedroom door.

I knew straight away that he was not just for Christmas, but for life.

Love and biscuits,
Buster
