I may let dad drive, but I am the Captain of this boat!

Another one of Gus's favorite things to do. He loves to watch the ducks, geese and other boats as we drive around. People give us lots of stares as we go by. I guess a 90+ lb. dog sticks out a little bit. Don't tell Gus but sometimes if I am in a hurry to go somewhere and don't want him dripping in the house he gets a boat ride to help "blow dry" him. Not that he would care!! LOL

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.
