Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog

This is #42

It is manipulated cardboard with a serrated edge.

Mum and I think black and white photos are more 'artsy'. Maybe.

 This took quite a lot of work and you can see where I got my title from.

This is a portrait of me looking intense and pensive and all that artistic stuff.

The purple thing is Altered Elephant; the squeaker came out.

This is me and Knutty in his lobby.

We are not allowed to eat this plant though we want to.

I found this penguin on 22nd Street when I was going to the dog park.

I am very late with these last 2 pictures. They are from Halloween, which is when they went away.

Benny was a sailor......

 and Gomez and a real live pinata.

ps.I hope you are enjoying Jane in Winter here.

My Friends

I am at work

They send boxes to my house and I modify them.

Then I go out on my morning walk and look for Pat. She is my friend.

When I got to the park I met my new friend Max

 and my old friend Walter

Then I had a drink of water from the bowl because the pool is not there any more.

I cannot remember whether I put this picture in before.

If you look at the bottom there are a lot of white feet.

If you look at the top there is me.

This is Benny and Knutty and Gomez.

Have a good weekend.

Dog Days of Summer

I do not know why it is called the dog days.

 Mum does not know either. Maybe someone will explain.*

 I am telling important stuff to O'Malley.

You can see Diesel too.

I think he may be Irish. O'Malley not Diesel.

This is Axl or maybe Axel like Guns and roses.

He only weights ten pounds. I am fatter than that.

 This is me with a stick that I am taking home. I like sticks and often chew them.

Benny is eating a ball that is the same color as his mouth. 

Most of us guys like eating things.

I am looking at Arrow because he can do very fast running.

He used to run in races.

When he goes in the pool, he only just fits.

Here I am talking to him. He is a bit shy.

This is me and Sherlock.

I hope you are having fun too.

ps. Yesterday a lady came from Alabama to talk to me. 

She had seen my picture on the internet because I am famous. I am going to have a nap now.

* pps. Kit explained about dog days in the comments!

Random Jottings from the Desk of Emperor Buster

Here is a portrait of my friend Enzo, who I like a lot. 

I just do not have a lot of pictures of him. He is standing behind the bench.

This is a picture of my not-friend Fatty up a tree.

I only put it in because some people want to know about her.

I do not know why.

This is someone's art work. They have put dogs on the subway map.
I walked past this on 22nd Street.

This is Sherlock and Benny and me trying to be good so we get stuff.

Biggie is licking his lips because he ate a treat and there might be some stuck to his face.

This is me. If you look carefully, you can see where they shaved

the fur off my shoulder because someone nipped me.

I do not know who. I have medicine that costs $90.

Dad said, "How can dog medicine possibly cost that much?"

and he looked it up and that is what it costs.

I hope you are well. 

Other than that, nothing much has happened around here.

Big and Small Dogs, a Toy and Knutty

This is a new guy at the park.

His name is Shadow.

p

Everyone says he is Mini-Me. He is maybe half my size.

This is Oliver and he is very, very big. Maybe a hundred pounds.

He is like my friend Benny who is not big at all.

He is Giant-Benny.

This is a toy Mum got for Henry.

I am not allowed to have it.

This is a picture of Knutty on his rock.

People say: "Aw.......isn't he cute."

Mostly he is like Knutty.

This is another picture of all of us.

You can see me and Benny and Biggie and Ella.

It has been raining.

I am Famous but not Full of Myself

Because I am famous, Mum sometimes get letters from other dog's mums.

This dog is called Gracie Burdick. We think she is about 2 years old. Weighs about 55 lbs. She is very friendly and would like to be friends with Buster.

I  am glad she wrote to me and would play with her if she lived near my house. I like her bandana.

Because I am famous, I sat on a red carpet near my house. Knut was there too.

When we were done being famous, we ate popcorn off the floor.

I have an entourage. It is called Knutty.

I will let Benny be in it too.

But I do not forget my old friends Gomez and Biggie....

and Jasper and Walter.

Anyway, the cat at the vet  still gives me mean looks....

.... so does Fatty.

Being famous is not always what it is cracked up to be.

I hope you are well

Biggie's Big Day and Some Curiosities

This is all of us at the dog park. Mia and me and Flash and Benny and

Knutty and Sparky and Biggie.  Treats are being given out. We will do anything for food.

This is Biggie. He is one today. He is not as old as me.

This is me and Knutty on our rock.

Mia is wearing Burberry. Well sort of.

This is Casey.

This is  Cody who was not at the party.

He lives in Piermont.

Sometimes I like to smoke a cigar.

The snow is almost gone now.

I hope you are having a good week.

Flash's Birthday Party

This is us at the dog park trying to be good.

This is me, Benny, Lily and Flash. It is his birthday. 

Lily and Flash know there are snacks.

They would like to eat all the snacks for humans too.

Flash likes eating. I am in the background.

Benny wanted the muffins.

All Bruno did was put his nose down a hole in the ice.

But we had lots of fun and dog cookies to take home.

Hope you get to go to lots of parties too.

Happy Valentine's Day.
