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!

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!

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!

If you did visit - it's not that far of a drive for Denali and me to invite ourselves over too way-cool
