Because Mary Asked ....

More pics of Gus - all in this blog post were taken on May 13 - he was 2 days shy of 10 wks old. He is starting to less like a baby and more like a dog!

Sadie had been on his crate...I have found Newman on top of the crate - looking at the window!

Gus LOVES hiding and playing in my overgrown bushes.

Gus and Newman sunning....Gus is in an overgrown planter in the backyard. He loves sitting in there and looking out. It's the puppy version of shoe lifts.

Miss You Long Time

I have been battling technical issues such as a broken modem and broken customer service at Earthlink, my former DSL provider. While I have Internet access again, my router isn't working and not sure how to make it work with the damn VISTA software I am forced to use and ATT, my new DSL provider. I had it working for 2 minutes and now nothing. Maybe it is the router.


And of course raising a puppy and working have also stolen my time. But things with Gus are going well. He is now 9.5 weeks and not quite such a baby which makes playing with him and tiring him out easier. He is playing fetch of sorts and stomping in the bushes/ivy.

On 5.8.08, Gus turned 9 wks. old. He tipped the scales at 16.9 lbs. At 6 wks. he was 10.6 lbs. I have been feeding him steroids, whiskey and cigarettes to beef him up. We celebrated 9 wks with a trip to the vet and a round of shots. He was dazzling as he was so much better behaved than some of his littermates we encountered. He also outweighed them!


Here are some pics of him back when we was still a baby at 6.5 weeks. Notice the paws!
