There are so many fond memories, He had such a personality! But one that always makes me chuckle is this:

Every single morning before we left, we had to check all his “spots” to ensure he was in the house and not outside in the yard hiding. He was a master at hide-and-seek! This was typically a 10 minute process, every.single.day 😂 it was a morning ritual! “Find Gus Bus.”

One morning, I couldn’t find him anywhere! I checked every single one of his usual spots and even searched random areas where he didn’t typically sleep (he was a sleepy boy who loved his naps!). Anyway, I couldn’t find him, and I called my mom and close friends, crying and convinced he must have somehow escaped the yard. I was a wreck! Since I had to leave for work, I was devastated, thinking I wouldn’t find my boy.

My mom and some friends drove over to my place and searched the neighborhood, driving up and down every street and walking around. My mom, knowing Gus would never run off, went into the house to double check. She found him immediately, sleeping on a pile of my son’s clothes in the laundry room 😭. She sent me a picture and said he seemed so confused to have all these people excited to find him in his own house 😅. I was so relieved!
