Buster

Nearly seven years ago my parents finally agreed to get a dog. We brought Buster from a farmer when he was 14 weeks old. His parents were gun dogs but he's scared of loud noises and is useless at finding his ball so he wouldn't have made a very good working dog. However he loves lots of hugs so he's perfect for us!! Like most springers he's crazy about tennis balls so we find them all over the house. I always find them on my bed along with muddy paw prints for some reason.. He likes curling up into small spaces and wakes me up in the morning by licking my face haha.

We have to take pictures while he's asleep because he doesn't stay still.

While taking the picture on the right he managed to get my eye with his nose.

Puppies at the dog shelter

Sorry my post is a bit late this week, my mum came to visit so I was busy showing her around Malta (I'll put a post up about it over the weekend).


My housemate and I volunteer at a dog shelter on Monday mornings and this week there were two puppies there!!

They were soooo cute and playful. It was definitely a two person job to clean out their kennel, as one person had to keep them occupied so the other could clean.

When I'm away from home I miss my dog a lot. Visiting the shelter really helps, especially when I get lots of hugs.

  

The beautiful view of Marsaxlokk, on the walk to the shelter. In the Maltese language, 'x' is pronounced as 'sh' so it's pronounced 'Marsa-shlock'. Its a really pretty fishing village.
