He's been with me for as long as I remember; always a part of our family; always a part of my heart.

Please, leave your comments for him; any special memories, funny moments, or good times you experienced with him.

We picked you out from others
I remember it quite well
You were such a fluffball
I think we all brought you for show & tell

By means of the back porch
You dug your way under the house
Dad would go under
And find you with dirt, doused

You also snuck to the neighbors
And played with their dog too
I'm not sure he liked you
But you didn't really care, did you?

Dad at work, Mom at piano
You would climb up on the roof
I would answer the front door
To people saying they heard a woof

I would say "Don't worry!
He does it all the time!"
That freaked the people out
They thought it was a crime

Of course it was quite dangerous
But I thought it was funny
Perhaps you liked to sunbathe
Up on that roof so sunny

We shaved you for the summers
And called you Raccoon Dog
You always looked so funny
With a fluffy face and shaved bod

There wasn't even question
When we moved, you came along
I think you like our house now
But I bet you miss the roof you used to get on

In these last couple years
I've noticed that you're slower
You are a bit more fragile
You don't really chase the mower

But of course when you can escape
You still got the notion
You run right out the door
25 mph- no exaggeration

But I've noticed it more lately
You won't accept a pet
You can't control yourself inside
The carpet gets all wet

You lick youself and others
In places most disgusting
Course, that's the way you've always been
Though somehow we're still adapting

But I cannot be mad at you
We all know what this means
Your time is coming near
A time cut short, it seems

There aren't nearly enough pictures
To bring you back to me
Only the hoping of meeting again
When my time comes to be

So many times I've needed you
And not as many I've cried
If  my love could save you
You would always be alive

In life I love you so much,
In death I'll love you still
Cuz in my heart you have a spot
No one else can fill

Sable and White so beautiful
You're such a pretty boy
Oh Buster I hope you know it
You've brought me so much joy

Our family chain is breaking
And it just won't be the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again

R.I.P.
