Puppy Buster

When we first got Buster, he was just a little puppy. He was so small that he could fit on Mommy's palm! When he first came home, he cried all night. He missed his mommy. I felt so sad for him. He reminded me of the time when I was in kindergarten when I waited and waited and did not see my Mommy nor my Daddy to come pick me up. So I got out of bed in the middle of the night to play with Buster so that he was not so lonely.

After a few days, Buster got used to staying with us and was not lonely anymore. So we were all very happy. Buster was so cute when he was a puppy. I let him chew on my fingers and it did not hurt. I think he knew not to chew very hard. But one time he chewed too hard and I screamed. So immediately he knew he should not have done it, and he licked my fingers. That was his way of kissing me to say sorry.
