UNLIKELY ALLIANCES

People tell me all the time that I'm not wrap to tight, and your probably shocked right? Well it should come as no surprise then that the Casa du Borghese's official pup, Buster Bolfig Borghese should be any different. Just like my dearly departed Starbooty, who took after her dear Mistress's habits, so has  Buster took up on many of his Mistress's habits...the good and the bad. Although, I don't lift my leg when peeing....he learned that from the ex!!!! No, Buster definitely likes his lounging in the king sized canopy bed, likes to sleep in, hate cold wet weather, enjoys good and tasty meats and cheeses and vegetables....and as been known to guard my gin collection. But Buster is also very extroverted like myself, and thinks everybody and every creature is his friend. Last week before departing for the beach we took our usual neighborhood walk. About halfway in the walk I hear a small meowing and out pops a cute kitty named Trixie.

And was Trixie ever friendly. She immediately popped out from behind a shed and came to greet Buster who was only to happy to mingle.

I did think it was cute how she got submissive and let Buster think he had the upper hand....

After some time sniffing and mingling Buster was ready to move on. I was worried Trixie may follow, but she just laid there greeting us good evening as we continued down the road.

Buster is always happy around cats and squirrels. Even when Bouvier comes around for his nuts, Buster just sits there while I feed him. He even sniffed the poor critter once when he took the peanuts from my hand .Although I'm sure Bouvier was probably appalled. We humans could take a note from these two...and get along with everyone...no matter if were different.
