Just catching up with things and I have to say Buster is gorgeous
He has certainly fallen on his paws coming to live with you, and he obviously knows it
On the noise thing I wouldn't worry as folks have said. Dylan is pretty much bomb proof but even though I've had Hobbes since he was 12 weeks old and he's only ever lived with me in my current house he spooks at all sorts of noises. While I've had my cold and been coughing and sneezing he has regularly shot away to hide every time I do it
. He hates the hoover and always hides away from it and is currently regulary spooked by the fact that since I had my new windows in and there is no curtain at the hall window he can see the stairs reflected in it at night
