Meet Gus

Meet German Shepard Gus. And some random Murray Codd.

Gus came to live with us, after my stepdad had to fail him at Guard Dog School (he is a dog trainer for government security dogs). Gus failed because he was just too nice. Bad for the government having paid for him. Good for us :D

Gus is 4.5 years old, and a beautiful dog. He is one big giant puppy. Nothing phases him, he is happy running around the backyard, chewing sticks, growling at next doors dog, bossing our other dog around. His favourite place to sit is in the back of the ute, an regularly goes to work with the husband. He loves it. He loves to pay with the hose, and has even managed to love the fishing boat, after a very rocky start.

Best of all, he is happy enough to sit on the backdoor step in the freezing cold, just to protect me when the husband is away over night.

I love my puppy

A happy dog

I cant remember if i mentioned it or not, but a few weeks ago the husband had a kangaroo commit suicide on his work ute. Thank god the lovely rail network pay for all damage, as he managed to damage a number of panels, including his bull bar. so in goes the hilux to the panel beaters, home comes an x-trail hire car for a fortnight.

Now, this poses a problem. The husband takes our german shepard (Gus) and jack russell (Ben) to work each day. They love it. Gus especially, he loves going in the ute, I think it is the highlight of his life!

Now, the xtrail isnt exactly accommodating for a german shepard who is malting something fierce. So the boys have been left at home during the day, much to Gus's dismay. He has been so sad.

Until yesterday, when the panel beater returned the ute. He was so excited, he circled the ute non-stop for half an hour. I finally relented and opened the tailgate for him, and voila, happy dog.

I worry about what will happen in 6 months time when we get a new ute, which isnt exactly accommodating for puppies :( Pin It
