Gus

This is Gus, the family dashound. We had Gus a really long time and later a mate for him, Suzie. Gus and Suzie had multiple litters of puppies. I don't remember what happened to Suzie but Gus lasted well into my late teens!

I remember being told that Gus had died and I just assumed he died of old age. I didn't find out until a couple years ago that he accidentally was hit in the head from flying debris. Seems Greg was cleaning out the yard, tossed some concrete over his shoulder and opps, Gus was behind him. He was blind and really old, lived a great life and was laid to rest in my grandfathers garden. Apparently Greg always felt some guilt over Gus's accident but he really saved old Gus many old doggy hardships. It was just one of those things.

Many cats and dogs followed Gus but he was the one pet we always connected with our childhood.
