"Going Dog" def: living every day in the moment
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."

What a handsome boy. He sure had a good life. All dogs should be half as lucky.
Hello folks. I have been wanting to get some video of Gus up and I finally got one, thanks to cometdog for helping, and forgot to add the text. He would have to go check the pen out, actually he was "cleaning up " after the calf, I'll let you figure out what!!!!, but he would love to drink any milk left over, so I always would save a little for him. I hope to have a couple more up soon. Hope you enjoy, I sure did, paws up, Gus and Dan

What a great video ... it was so great to see Gus! What a happy dog; he certainly led a great life on the farm!
Hope you are doing okay, Dan. You are thought of often.
Paws up!
Amputation on 11/10/09, due to Histiocytic Sarcoma in left elbow. Angel Harley earned his wings on 06/24/10.
He's so cute! You had a great right hand man with Gus!
P.S. I think you could have gotten that video up by yourself but it sure was fun talking to you! Really enjoyed it!

She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Great video of Gus loving life, Thanks for sharing him with us. I really enjoyed watching your boy.

Totally awesome, Dan. I don't think a dog could be any happier than Gus. Love seeing him do the things he so loved.
And, love seeing you here to share with us. Thank you!
