This section is devoted to my dog, Buster. He is a Bernese Mountain Dog, born and bred at Sugarfoot Kennels in Carlton, Oregon, and he is my baby!

The first set of pictures below were taken early on. He was such a cute puppy... so small and fluffy. And enthusiastic! What a happy boy!

Of course, dogs have something akin to teenage years... so there were a few months when Buster seemed gawky and leggy - like he couldn't keep track of all four paws at one time. Buster is shown below with Mark and I on our boat (notice the life jacket, folks) during this period.
