Sunday at the Park

Sunday after dinner, after church, after scripture studying - I loaded up the boys, minus Jackson who was at work, and headed to the park. Even Gus came. That might not have been the best idea. Braxton only had to run after Gus three times at full speed. Gus really, really likes chasing after bicycles and skateboards. The boys played some catch while I walked Gus around. It was such a pretty day!

Gus Update

This boy will be nine months old on the 21st. He is something else!! I seriously love this little man of ours. He LOVES rope. In fact he loves it so much that when he has rope to play with, you can find it in his poop because he ingests it! He loves raw hide bones. He also loves when mommy feeds him scraps - daddy doesn't love it so much when mommy feeds him scraps.

He loves to wrestle with daddy. He loves to play football with the boys. He loves to snuggle with mommy. He loves to play with Sis. He is such a good dog!

This Boy

This boy has our hearts. Gus is calm, obedient, smart, and loving. He is a mama's boy through and through and I kind of love it! When he sees daddy, it is a barking war, a tickle war, a tug-of-war or just rough-housing and he knows it! He loves the kids! And, they love him so much. This was a good decision for our family. We needed Gus and he needed us.

Brooklyn met him on Monday and he had her laughing so hard that it was a rolling, loud laugh from her. She is in bliss. In between trying to catch her breath from laughing, she would say, "Gus, I love you so much Gus Gus." It melted my heart.

Around 7:30 every night, he knows it's calm-down time. He comes into our room and waits for someone to get him up onto our bed. Then he lays there, chews on his bone and falls asleep. Daddy puts him to bed and the night is over. It's heaven.
