I know it’s early days but how is Buster getting on? Hope his wounds are healing. Is he having the eye surgery soon or is it just on the cards for some point in the future? Been thinking about him since he landed on the site. Poor little dog, goodness knows what he has gone through and for how long, makes my blood boil
He was at the vet this morning…he is good form and wasnt fazed by being examined…he will need a lot a of tlc before he can have his eye operation…he is due back in vets next Monday and we will keep you posted
Buster arrived this morning and we are quickly discovering he has personality in spades
. He gets on well with our dogs and after a couple of laps around the kitchen 
he has realised that the cats are strictly off limits! I’m amazed at how quickly he is taking to all the new rules…….Buster is an extremely fast learner and is very eager to please. So far he has been with a crowd of teenage boys, a 10 year old and an eight year old girl and he was brilliant with them……loving all the love and hugs.
He is house trained, knows how to sit and give the paw and is slightly overweight
. Poor guy looks very bedraggled and has very raw sores on his nose and elsewhere on his body. Despite his ordeal, this little guy is very affectionate and loveable and I’ve no doubt we will see a remarkable transformation in him over the next week or two.Update on Buster – sorry for the delay. He was back with the vet on Monday who was very pleased with his progress…..Buster’s wounds are healing up and some of his hair has even started to grow back over the last couple of days. His shoulder/leg injury is almost better
and he is feeling a little less insecure as every day passes. He will have another check up next Tuesday and he will also see an eye specialist in relation to the cataract on his eye.Buster is comical in his ways……..he wags his tail furiously and he is constantly busy and interested in the world around him. He is so eager to please his Beloved (that would be me!) that I reckon I could easily train him to fly a spaceship. He is getting on great with my dogs and still keeps a safe distance from the cats.
Some photos below which are not great but he had a toy in his mouth (LOVES his toys) and was running around like a madman making sure nobody else got hold of it…….most of the photos were of a black blur with a waggy tail.
I think Buster is now an honorary member of the Scottie crew and will join Hamish, Bonnie & Mac as an icon of Scottie-ness on the Board in the future.
A total gem of a dog, Buster deserves to feel loved and secure for the rest of his waggy life.

. Hamish is delighted to have another Scottie on board, we have enough for the Scottie footie team now. Hamish has offered to teach Buster some gardening skills 
& I know Mac & Bonnie have some other skills they could pass on to the young Scottie 
. We are all watching the new Scottie on the block xxBuster had a bath today and he was SOOOO well behaved! His poor skin is still quite bad in places so he wallowed in his bath with some medicated shampoo for half an hour and he loved it.
Hamish is more than welcome to teach Buster some gardening skills
. Not quite sure that I want him to take any lessons from Mac & Bonnie in the ancient art of "dog bed destruction" !Some more photos below:-

IMG_1728.JPGGreat to hear of Buster’s progress!
Mac and Bonnie wish to point out that it is actually the “lost art” of bed destruction; they found it again and were afraid it might become lost once more! 
The twins are available to give lessons any time! 
Or how about four Scotties doing a garden "makeover" TV show…."Scottie Force"…?! Buster continues to come on in leaps and bounds. His hair is growing back well so he doesn’t look like he has been in the wars any more……just a bit lopsided cos his hair was shaved on one side of his face so he has a full Scottie beard on one side and not on the other! His leg is also doing well.
Buster is DEVOTED to myself, my husband and my son
. He really would prefer to have us all to himself so I feel he would do best in a home with no other dogs. He has no problems around food and sleeps and eats happily with my dogs, however, once we are around I think he wishes somebody would just "beam" the other dogs up and leave him to enjoy all the attention.He is very eager to please us and leaves the cats well enough alone…….not because he wants to but because he knows WE want him to.
A sturdy, happy-go-lucky, loyal, devoted little doggy who loves his toys and tennis balls – what more could you want? Oh, btw, he DOESN’T eat beds nor does he like gardening. Beat that!
Can’t get a good photo of him because as soon as he spots me he wants to be stuck to me like Velcro so I just get a blur but I’ll keep trying.
He’s an intelligent, adoring little man who just needs somebody he can hero worship!
Well Buster, your personality is shining through! But what happened to gardening and bed eating…did you miss that day in Scottie training school?
On second thoughts, you are probably better without such "skills"!
