Pals-O-Buster\u2122 and Pals-O-Eddie\u2122 know who we are. One of our ardent followers did mention that some folks might be confused; a mostly white-colored dog named \u201cBrown\u201d and a brown-colored dog named \u201cEddie.\u201d We know that Mister Tom was not thinking ahead when he named us. To help people make sense of this confusion we decided to tell our stories.<\/p>\n
Here are our stories as told by each of us.<\/p>\n
Buster\u2019s Story<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I am Buster Jerry Brown. I am the white-colored, brown-spotted dog. Mister Tom named me after the legendary wild boar hunter of Mississippi, Jerry Brown. Mister Tom liked the alliterative effect of the name Buster Brown, so my name became \u201cBuster Jerry Brown.\u201d Most folks call me Buster or Buster J. When I get stubborn Mister Tom calls me the shiftless hound.<\/p>\n I found Mister Tom when he was wild boar hunting with Jerry Brown in February 2004. I was resting underneath a sticker bush thicket deep in the woods. I think I was lost. I decided to go with the people who found me because I was hungry and tired of living outside all the time. The day I was found I got fresh water and real dog food. The very next day I traveled a long, long way to a dog rescue in the north. People from the dog rescue cleaned me up and got me all healthy. I officially adopted Mister Tom after that. I am the first dog ever<\/span><\/i><\/b> who adopted Mister Tom.<\/p>\n People ask what dog breed am I? Well, I am mostly a terrier dog of some sort. In the rural south they call me a \u201cfeist\u201d dog. If one searches the Internet for \u201cDecker Giant Rat Terriers\u201d they will see pictures and videos of other dogs that look a lot like me. Mister Tom says that I am a \u201cgood boy\u201d and that is all that matters.<\/p>\n I like practically all people critters I meet. I hardly bark at all which is why I have a bell on my collar. When I see some of my best people pals I will whine and cry until they say hello to me. I like doing stuff and going places with Mister Tom. Since I decided to live with Mister Tom I have always done obedience training. I like doing this because it teaches Mister Tom how to let us dogs know what he wants us to do. To show Mister Tom how smart I am I compete in dog obedience. I usually do well and I have bunches of obedience titles.<\/p>\n Eddie\u2019s Story<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n I am Eddie. I am the brindle, mostly brown-colored dog you see in the pictures. My name at the dog rescue was Eddie and Mister Tom simply thought that I looked like an \u201cEddie,\u201d whatever that means. My registered name is \u201cCaptain Eddie.\u201d I am named after Captain Eddie Vernon Rickenbacker, the World War I flying ace and Medal of Honor recipient. Mister Tom wanted me to have a heroic name because he says I am a heroic and special fellow. My pals call me Eddie or the Ed-ster. When I am stubborn Mister Tom calls me EDDIE<\/i><\/b> in a low, deep voice.<\/p>\n I adopted Mister Tom in November 2012 after he came to visit me at the dog rescue place near his home. I came to that dog rescue from a dog rescue in Kentucky. Before I adopted Mister Tom I lived all of my life in dog rescue places. I never lived in a real home until I adopted Mister Tom. It sure is nice to live in a house in a neighborhood.<\/p>\n I am a mixed-breed dog of some sort. Walt, the person who taught Mister Tom how to better understand dogs, thinks I might have \u201ccoursing hound\u201d in my mix. I am a tall, lean, deep-chested dog with long legs and a naturally bobbed tail.<\/p>\n I like people. Sometimes when I meet new people I am a little shy. I am getting over being shy around new people. After I meet new people and they give me pets and scratches I am quite friendly. I like sitting next to people or lying down in front of them and touching them all the time if I can. I do bark when Mister Tom goes outside with Buster and leaves me inside. The only time I bark when I am outside is when I see the evil squirrel critters. I know that squirrel critters spend a lot of time in trees so I keep a keen watch for them when I am outside. Mister Tom is teaching me the obedience stuff that Buster knows. I would rather play with my toys than do obedience stuff. I think Mister Tom knows this because we play together when we finish doing obedience stuff.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pals-O-Buster\u2122 and Pals-O-Eddie\u2122 know who we are.
