Oct 25 The following are some notes from a conversation I had with someone about their dog, which they call "Buster". They said that Buster is very friendly and likes to play with other dogs. He also enjoys going for walks in the park. One thing they mentioned was how much Buster loves to eat. They said he can always be found eating something or another. Another note was about how smart Buster is. They said he knows many commands and tricks, such as sit, stay, come, roll over, etc. They also talked about how well-behaved Buster is when out in public places like parks or pet stores. He never barks excessively nor does he run around uncontrollably. Finally, they mentioned that despite being so good-natured and obedient towards humans, sometimes it seems like Buster has his own mind set on things unrelated to anything we might expect from him.
