Buster's New Hat

On New Year's Eve, we went to the flower market and bought Buster a little hat that looked like a chicken. When I first put the hat on Buster's head, he did not like it. Buster scratched at the hat with his paw until it came off. After it came off, Buster looked at it and sniffed it with his nose because he wanted to know what it was and if it was safe to have it on his head.

When Buster was done examining the hat, he let me put it on his head again. It is fun to put hats on Buster. I think his Christmas hat was my favorite. One time I tried to put Daddy's hat on Buster, but the hat was too big and fell down in front of Buster's eyes. Buster did not want to wear a hat that was too big for his head.
