Well...it looks as if Buster Bolfig Borghese is well on his way to turning 18 in November. Buster had his Vet appointment the other day, and the vet was simply amazed at his health, no lumps or bumps, clear lungs, muscles and joints in good condition with very little arthritis, no stomach issues, only lost a pound, and no loss of appetite or sign of cataracts. She is amazed, as we all are. About the only thing he didn't like was when he got a small finger up the backside. He got a bit cranky about that stunt.
Though he does like his naps.
He looks rather pleased of his clean bill of health. Of course, some incoming bacon might have had something to do with that. Our search for a second canine ended. As my uncle has not moved south yet to Ashville because of Helene, we have officially taken ownership of my aunt and uncles dog Sophie! In his retirement community where he will be living, dogs are allowed only if the owner can get them out and walk them regularly. At 92, he, health wise is fine, but he does walk with a cane, and has been known for some falls, so he opted to not take Sophie south with him and was adamant we take her to the Casa du Borghese. Sooooo this week we officially welcomed Sophie home with us!!!!
She has settled in very nicely at the house, but not like she doesn't already know us.
It's finally Friday!
And Im in the mood for some Jungle! Boy this group just gives me chills.
Happy birthday Buster!! November's a great month to have a birthday!
ReplyDeleteWell, Buster, you go dude! That's very good news, indeed. And, Sophie is just so plain adorable, I may have to come and steal her! 😉
ReplyDeleteHi Sophie!! And Happy Birthday to Buster, too!!
ReplyDeleteYay, Buster!
ReplyDeleteSuch a relief. As pets grow older, those news are always welcome. Pity your uncle cannot take Sophie with him (walking a doggie while walking with a cane? No.) but she'll be well taken care of.
And that song? I live!
XOXO
Great news about Buster and glad you're able to give Sophie a new home!
ReplyDeleteAh, Buster Bolfig Borghese - the distinguished elder statesman! I'm glad to hear he's in such good health. He may outlast us all! And dear Sophie is just adorable! What a lovely addition.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Bitey had a finger up his bum at the vet's yesterday. Like Buster, he was not amused.
Damn! It seems like just yesterday Buster was a baby and now look at him! Yee AND Haw.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sophie looks like a sweetheart!
You should have asked the vet to finger you instead! Jx
ReplyDeleteBuster is in a whole lot better shape than I am! Sophie is a cutie, but the B-dog has my heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad Buster is doing so well! And, welcome Sophie!
