"Calvin and Buster are a study in contrasts. Calvin is a pedigreed chocolate lab that has been in the family nine years. Buster is a stray mixed breed adopted from the Humane Society and has been with us six weeks. Calvin has a quiet personality, is a strong swimmer and never misses the pool parties at Woodland Park. Buster, hyper around other animals, doesn’t even like a bath. Calvin is slow and deliberate. I call Buster a cat-dog. Buster runs like a bullet, hops like an antelope, and climbs like a cat. Buster is also into chewing things. We have slowly put everything out of his reach except for his toys and bones.
They both like to take a walk every day, Buster around the block, and Calvin up and down the sidewalk. Buster came to us house trained and crate trained, is affectionate, and loves Calvin. He likes to sleep next to him and sometimes on him. Calvin weighs 110 pounds and Buster weighs 9. "
