Who doesn't love Gus!?

Although he doesn't often (or ever...) get his own posting, GUS is an integral part of our family! After 6 years with us, he was definitely our 'first kid' and we still love this dog. Sometimes I feel like the poor dog gets a little neglected these days with the immediate demands of two little kiddos in the house, he surely doesn't actually suffer! Elise loves him like crazy, gives him hugs and kisses before naps/bedtime, and (when she gets home from school) runs to him saying, "I missed you so much, Gus!" It's adorable! It now seems that Ainsley is going to follow in Elise's footsteps. She's a little crawling queen these days and will spend most of her waking hours trying to catch up with Gus. He gives in sometimes and just sits there while she climbs all over him, playing with his ears, feet, tail, ripping out chunks of fur out to shove in her mouth (yummy!). He's so gentle with her and really doesn't seem to mind being 'abused' by another kid! Here's to Gus.
That's Gus' toy in Ainsley's hands....


She sat/stood at the door and 'talked' to him forever the other day!
