Pretty boy waiting on another throw.

Gus calmly waits on another toss of his ball. We are sure enjoying the REALLY mild winter so far but from the forecast it sounds as winter is coming back, soon!

Look Mom, no hands,just paws!!

The first time I threw Gus this ball was by accident. When he caught it with his paws I thought it to be luck. After about twenty throws I now realize the little guy can catch a friggin ball with his paws!! LOL He really is good at doing it. Lucky or smart? You come to your own conclusion.

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.
