Gus In the Great Outdoors
Deciding that maybe he could sneak some of the fish food, Gus made sure that he was closest to the pond when everyone was in the backyard. When the pond was first made and we spent more time with it than with him, Gus was known the Green-Eyed Monster - big-time!

Gus Trying to
Keep His Ball
Those who have met Gus know that this dog is hopelessly obsessed with tennis balls. In an effort to keep humans from taking it from him, he holds it in the back of his mouth, lays down, and puts his paws up. (It usually does the trick.)

Gus "Playing" Ball
A number of other photos were taken of Gus to be placed in the newspaper, but this pic was chosen for printing. (It was tough to keep his paw on that ball!)

Gus Shopping
All respectable dogs must do at least some shopping in their lifetime. And since Gus couldn't exactly get to a store on his own, he decided to look around at our garage sale in spring '01. Unfortunately, no one was around when he came to purchase his finds.
