Hi friends,
This past Saturday, I heard a knock at my door.
Strange as I usually do not get a lot of visitors of the two-legged kind….
My neighbor and his 8 month old puppy, Gus, were standing there when I opened the door. He just been called into work for the day for an emergency. With his wife away, they didn’t want to leave Gus alone for the entire day.
WHAT A MUG
I appreciated the hound-dog look on both faces. Let’s be realistic though – hangouts with a puppy? Yes please.
Gus is a pretty lucky duck dog. He has two wonderful owners who truly appreciate him. They experienced a similar loss to us, with their 3 year old Chocolate lab early last year. They took the time they needed, and then happily brought rescue puppy Gus into their lives last fall. Gus’s feline brother from another mama. “Beau” is featured below. He adores dogs, so much that he ensures to go visit them all in our neighborhood – whether they reciprocate his love or not.
Hang-outs with Gus reminded me why puppies are fantastic – once again.
They inject an air of goofy happiness that never ceases to amaze me. They also help reinforce important life lessons like…
Pleasant reminders I thought worth sharing.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ah yes, definitely reminders worth sharing. What a cutie pie! I wouldn’t have minded pup-sitting either!
He’s pretty darn cute! Plus you get puppy snuggles after a walk.
Now there’s a case when an unexpected knock on the door can turn out to be a really, really good thing! I know you and Gus had a great day.
Absolutely!
He-Dog!!!! Gus has his priorities straight…I couldn’t say no to that face either…What a wonderful day you all had!!!!
Thanks! It was pretty great.
Sometimes you have to take a moment and breathe. I find dogs help us do that in spades 🙂
What an awesome thing to find on the other side of a door! Yay for you both!
No kidding huh? Love these kind of unexpected surprises!
We’d have been pleased to entertain Gus for the day. He looks gorgeous!
He is – what a doll!
