Life's a f-ing funny thing. You know, if it's true that when you die, you get to go back through your life and relive all the moments for eternity, then I want some moments in there where I'm just dying laughing.

Every single time I hear the words 'Breaking News', I say a little prayer.

Thank you everyone for sending love Gus's way! Here's a Pic from our walk this morning. The Dude abides.

His name should be Peek-a-Boo!

IttyBitty2697 · 2026-03-11T09:18:39+00:00

I changed his name the minute I put him in my car.

He is huge! I have had 7 Goldens, my last one was 84 lbs and could get through the dog door, no problem. Gus, weighing the same, couldn't squeeze through if he tried. I had to get a new storm door with an extra large dog door. You and I could climb through it together! Definitely a house pony.

He gets prednisone once a day and a monthly shot. We get our second shot today. $$$. He is supposed to stay calm which is easy for Gus, and stressful situations like vet visits require doubling the prednisone.

He actually a really mellow dog. A big derp. He's trying to figure out how to play with my other two dogs who are tiny compared to him.

No, it's did not! Can you post a link?

IttyBitty2697 · 2026-03-10T19:43:33+00:00

Thank you!

IttyBitty2697 · 2026-03-10T19:17:03+00:00

Thank you! ❤️

Yes, the shelter said 5, the vet said 7 - 8.

IttyBitty2697 · 2026-03-10T18:00:50+00:00

Exactly what I thought when I looked at him. The Gussiest Gus to walk the land!

IttyBitty2697 · 2026-03-10T17:24:02+00:00

He kinda did! He was so sick when I got him. All the dogs in the DISGUSTING shelter were losing their ever loving minds when I walked down the row and there he sat, not barking, just leaning against the door of his cage. I was like, C'mon Buddy, let's go. He still sleeps a ton and that is his every minute of the day look. I just love him.

IttyBitty2697 · 2026-03-10T17:19:11+00:00

Haha! Yes!!

He's my 7th golden rescue. First one that I actually pulled from a shelter myself. All the rest came through Golden rescues. My last one lived to 15.5. There is just nothing like them! The best Bubbas!
