Butterman!

Our crazy boys all have nicknames for each other, including one for Buster. For instance Buster is Butter-man, Tyler is T-dog, Alex is A-dog, Drew is D-dog, Ellie is El-bell, Elbow, or Homes, and Emma is Emma Bemma, Emma Lemma Ding Dong, or Peanut. Anyway, I just noticed, the boys call each other "dog" and  they call their dog, "man". Yep, they're a little insane. 

Poor Buster has terrible skin allergies. Lately he's been scratching his fur off. We've spent tons of money and tried every food, medicine, cream, spray, and shampoo. The vet has even tried shots, steroids, and antibiotics, but nothing seems to help him stop itching. Our latest attempt is to try to keep a onesie on him. The theory is the same as the thundershirt for dogs; it's supposed to make them feel safe. Anyway, he looks so cute in his little stripped pajama's. If these don't work, we'll have to try mittens on his paws.

I know how wrong this is, but someone forgot to tell Buster he was a dog.  He really does think that he's one of the kids. In fact, on Saturday mornings when we sleep in, the girls come and climb in our bed with us in the morning. When Buster hears them, he runs and jumps up there 1st so he can get the spot closest to his mama. If the girls beat him to it and snuggle up to me first, he just climbs right on top of me!

                                     Uh, excuse me, I believe you're laying in my spot!
