Buster here. I am the white-colored, brown-spotted, handsome terrier dog. Eddie is the brown-colored fellow. Mister Tom says he is a very lucky man for having two such devoted friends as me and Eddie. We make sure we know where Mister Tom is and what he is doing all the time. We do this to keep him out of trouble. His patterns and actions are cues to us on what to expect.

WATCHFUL (Copyright 2014 by Buster J. Brown)

I watch your face for telltale clues,
I’m always waiting for things to do.

When you stir from your chair,
My hopes are that we’re off somewhere.

Sounds you make are a giveaway,
I hear and know the meaning conveyed.

A nod, a glance, some other gesture,
Could portend a big adventure.

In case you are unaware,
I’m ready to go, my time to share.
