The Christmas Elf

Gus was hoping I had forgot about this hat.It fits him a little tighter this year. So far today he has had two long walks and a can of dog food mixed with his dry kibble. Not a bad way to spend Christmas, is it? We hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas!!!!

Polar Plunge

Gus seems right at home in the snow, again!! He is going nuts and wants to play so bad.but his dad hates the cold weather.

This goofy dog must have missed the snow as he rolls around like it is a hot summer day. He then takes off and wants me to chase him.........right!!!! Gus is doing quite well other than a very dry coat. I am getting some salmon oil and hoping it does the trick.

Hi all, thought we would blog on the newest addition to our family...Gus. Dogs have been a major part of my life. As a youngster I trained and hunted with several beagles moving my way into duck hunting and field trialing Labradors and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. That is when I met my future wife who worked at the veterinarian where I took my dogs. That was over twenty-five years ago. I also had my first rottweiler when we met and have had several more over the years. After putting my last rott to sleep in April we have been without a dog for the first time in nearly forty years!! After a long search we think and hope we have found our next dog who we already have named Gus. At this point he is three weeks old and in five more we will have our next spoiled rotten bundle of joy.
