Dog Days, Life With Buster The Pitbull

Dog Days, Life With Buster The Pitbull

04/01/2017 by Marlene Wetch 14 Comments

~* WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS A STORY ABOUT A PITBULL, PROCEED WITH CAUTION*~

 

Last summer, the cutest young dog came barreling over to my house from across the street and my children instantly fell in love. Ok, we all collectively fell in love. And boy oh boy was he cute! A young, brindle and white pit bull named Buster.

My children and Buster. It is a match made in heaven

Loving a dog had never been so easy as it was with Buster

The pattern of “Can we go see if Buster can play?” was several times a day. Some days, he would sneak over, others he waited for my kids to come get him.

My husband talked with the dog’s owner, told her that he’s needed to be socialized now before he’s too big and set in his ways. Then there was a problem where Buster’s owner had to leave one night and couldn’t take him with her. He spent the night with us. And here we are, just shy of a year later and have moved. The dog moved with us.

Dogs, Sleeping
Buddy (the white dog) is being cuddled by Buster.

 

Buster and Buddy. Because when it’s bedtime, it’s snuggle time

 

He quickly became the most loved dog in our home.(Don’t judge, we have five) We took him to the ocean and he learned to dig. We take him everywhere we go because, well, we love him.

Now it has not been all rosy the entire time. There have been some not so pleasant moments thrown in, because who has ever had the PERFECT puppy.

He’s sensitive, in every sense. He has sensitive ears and skin. If he gets a bath, he must have some sort of moisturizer or he will be all flaky. His ears have to be cleaned and maintained DAILY. And he has feelings. If anyone of us does something without him, he pouts.

 

HUH? POUTS? HE’S A DOG!

Yea I know he’s a dog, but he doesn’t know that. I think he thinks he’s a cross between a cat and a person. Let’s say my husband decided to go out on a guys trip, for the day. Buster will lay in his chair all day long and pout and whine. Don’t believe me? Here’s a picture:

“But mama, I don’t want to get off the couch”

(we like to make sure Buster is getting everything he needs to be in the best health. We give him Bully Max. I highly recommend this as it helps build muscle mass and helps keep him active. If you; are interested check it out!)

He needs daily exercise. Now, look I have a very large aversion to working out for the sake of working out, so normally I will find out a way to avoid it entirely. Ha, not with this dog. He slams his body into your legs. He will Tasmanian devil run thru the house. Sometimes, he will even bring you his rope and try to engage you!

Big ears, Buster Pitbull

People say my dog’s breed is dangerous.

Yes, they are right. If you were to come into my home uninvited, he would likely show you to the cookie jar. But if you were to grab one of his kids? GAME OVER.

His claws are dangerous. I swear when he walks on the carpet he polishes them just enough to scratch the shit out of you, by accident.

His farts are dangerous. Actually, I think our government should contact me for a job for him. If you send my stinky dog to search for a criminal, he will flush them out with his farts alone.

His tongue might be dangerous too, but to know for sure you will have to ask the cat. Buster cleans the cat daily. They are best friends.

 

And to love him will for sure be dangerous for the heart. Because he is such a huge part of our home and life, when it’s his time to go, we will be heartbroken.

 

Until next time,

Marlene

    Love this. Its horrible to see so many people judge a book by its cover. Our American Bully our son’s best friend (they even nap together). My sons wrestle him and lay on him. He’s just another kid in our family.

    Aww, she is so cute. In the UK, there are always negative news concerning pitbulls but yours looks so homely and friendly. I’d love to have one but I think the police in the UK would have a big say on the decision

    ugh buster just stole my heart. I love pits so much. I have a small pit mix who gets the same flack as a fully grown bully. They’re just big lovebugs! I’m glad you’re sharing his story and these goofy photos. It’s so important to erase breed stereotypes and share real stories of these giant goofballs. Love this post!

    xoxo,

      Dannie, welcome to the club lol! It’s so easy to love a dog, especially when it’s a dog that loves with all of him. I wish they didn’t get the bad rap that they do because to be honest, I am way more afraid of a little yapper (I have 2) then a big ole bully. Thanks for stopping by!

    I LOVE this! We have a pitbull/yellow lab mix, and we hear some crazy comments about “her breed” sometimes. But she’s like your dog – sweet, loveable and, my goodness does she pout and get depressed when we do something without her. We also are well aquainted with the bodyslam! Buster is adorable and looks so loveable!

    Dogs are by far the most awesome beings in the world. I lost my doggy soul mate three years ago and I still think about him daily. Buster sounds like a great friend!
