Heh! I’ll try to teach him. For those not aware of it, **Lobsang** is refering to my username: Gaspode is the talking dog on Terry Pratchett’s Discworld. And Lobsang is a hero there. Anyway - blurry as hell, crappy camera and of course a little puppy won’t keep still. But here’s [Buster](http://www.armback.se/buster.htm). ---

Awwww he’s adorable. I got a rat terrier about 3 weeks ago. I named him Elvis because he does the lip thing, I look at him and his upper lip starts to jumping. It’s the cutest thing. Anyway, I hope Buster makes you as happy as Elvis has made me. ---

Oh my god, that’s the cutest little puppy I’ve seen since…since…well, since I picked my pup up two months or so ago. Congratulations! He looks like a real “Buster” too! I love Boxers. I hear they are very happy and energetic and will keep you entertained for a long time. Here’s wishing you many happy adventures together! L ---

Thanks guys. Boxer kennels in Sweden have a saying: “The soul of an angel in the body of a gangster”. I’m sure it’s not very different in other countries. I’m going to visit him at the kennel one more time in about two weeks, and I’m going to pick him up 12th of September. He’s big. Very big. This is going to be 90 lbs of big sloppy adorable doggy. I’m totally hyped and very, very happy. ---
