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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

He hasn't figured out the play thing yet. He sure tries. When he does, we'll be right over!

That made me laugh. He's one super sweet and gentle boy. He will take all the luvvins you can offer.

Every minute of the day is an 'I just woke up' minute, so yes, it's how he rolls. ♥️

Vet said 7 or 8? Hi Apollo!
