Bringing Home Buster

Yesterday afternoon we brought home Buster, our newest beagle. Buster is an 8 year-old beagle with a special (and mildly amusing) story. Earlier this year, he was rescued by the Central Missouri Humane Society and weighed in at a whopping 68 pounds! Barely able to walk, Buster was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Fortunately a staff member, convinced she could bring him down to a healthy weight, took him home as a foster dog. After months of medication, a reduced diet, and lots of green beans, Buster lost 33 pounds! He is still pretty chubby, but he is now able to walk and run (if he so chooses).
Buster has only been in our home for 24 hours, but he is doing great. He enjoys waddling around the house, sleeping, eating, and eating Steve's food. Buster does not enjoy his seat belt.
