Gus smiles with his souvenir - a piston ring from the Roger Blough. How many tours end with a take-home piston ring!
Gus often liked to walk into the shot when I was taking pictures. It was always nice when he would join me.
Gus, the cute italian greyhound.

My little man! He's 14, slowing down and doesn't see too well, but goes all puppy when we hit the beach!

Gus is one of the dogs that we dog sit several days a week. He always looks worried about something, but he’s very sweet. He’s affectionate and loves to sit as close to you as he can. On cold days he keeps us warm.
For the last month we have been covered in gray and this week the sun has come out and warmed us all up. So that means lots of walks outside and up to the park. This little guy has mastered climbing up everything on the playground. It has been so fun to see his personality shine through and grow in these last 22 months. I am grateful for sunny autumn days and living in the moment. Happy Flair Friday too!
An entertaining mornings walk with Gus, a cocker spaniel, and the pack .. all I can say is hat's off to anyone who owns (and manages!) a spaniel! Auntie Elk was in her element as she doesn't quite like the randomness of how a spaniel seems to behave, thinking Gus was, perhaps, going to attack her at some part during the proceedings ... so took every opportunity to consolidate he top dog position over Gus by baring teeth and giving chase at every opportunity .... Gus was in a world of his own thankfully so they didn't engage in top trumps! When we arrived back at the car, my lot were still a pristine black and white (they purposely avoid unescessary mud and puddles) whilst Gus was shall we say wet, muddy and had ears full of burrs!!
I have been a supporter of Chelsea Football Club all my life. I got the idea for this photo as a result of receiving the clubs monthly football magazine in a torn cellophane sleeve. Gus Hiddink is a great Dutch football coach and team manager. On two occasions he has been appointed to save Chelsea's season after the sacking of previous managers. A man with a keen eye (if you'll excuse the pun) on tactics and a great 'man manager' he turned Chelsea's failing performance around on both occasions.
Gus was lost and wandered into our yard. Fortunately, his owner's information was on his collar. Gus was reunited with his owner and all is well.

Gus and Jaq are the two mice in Disney's Cinderella (Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, 1950). They are close companions of Cinderella. Jaq is the fearless and quick-witted brains of the outfit, acting as the leader of the household mischief. Gus, meanwhile, is a slow-witted bruiser with an excessive appetite (hence his plump physique). Both Jaq and Gus have the ability to speak using 'Mouse Latin' - they commonly distort words, most notably Cinderella's own name which they mispronounce as "Cinderelly".
Cinderella rescues the mice from traps and Lucifer the cat, dresses them, and feeds them. They perform many small favors in return. Jaq seems to be one of the leaders of the mice, planning strategies to avoid the cat, sneak food, and help Cinderella with her ball gown. The other mice gladly follow his lead. Jaq is thin, with scruffy hair, and speaks a fast kind of pidgin English. Gus appears in the first scene of the film, trapped in a cage where Jaq finds him and brings Cinderella to rescue him. Cinderella names him "Octavius", "Gus" as a shortened form. Jaq explains the situation to Gus, and Gus catches on and joins the mouse troop. Gus seems to be a bit slow on the uptake, but brave in a pinch, and speaks even more fractured English than Jaq, who calls him "Gus-Gus." Jaq leads Gus to help Cinderella, resulting in them accidentally playing a prank on Anastasia, leading to Cinderella getting more chores, then hearing of the invitation to the ball. After Perla tells them and the other mice to make Cinderella's ball gown, they are sent off to get the trimming, since Perla has sewing experience. They get into a fight with Lucifer in the dressing room while stealing a ribbon from Anastasia, along with Drizella's jade beads, which the stepsisters discarded in disgust while preparing for the ball. Despite Perla telling them to "leave the sewing to the women", Gus has fun with the scissors. After Cinderella's gown is ripped by her stepsisters and transformed by the Fairy Godmother, Jaq and Gus, along with two other mice, are transformed into beautiful white horses by the fairy, with Gus getting some payback for nearly being eaten by Lucifer when he scares the cat off by neighing at him like a horse. They pull the Coach carrying Cinderella to the castle so that she can attend the ball. When the spell breaks at midnight, the horses turn back into mice.
Later, Gus and Jaq are responsible for stealing the key to Cinderella's room from the wicked stepmother, Lady Tremaine, who has locked Cinderella away. There is a scary moment when Jaq gets trapped in Lady Tremaine's pocket as she decides to check the key, and Jaq receives a painful spanking. The cruel stepmother then nearly douses poor Gus with scalding hot tea before the Grand Duke stops her. The two eventually manage to escape Tremaine with the key and make it to Cinderella's doorway, only to be foiled by Lucifer, who imprisons Gus in a bowl-like he had tried earlier, and defiantly refuses to let Gus go, knowing full well he is preventing Cinderella from making it downstairs to try on the Glass Slipper she left at the castle. Jaq immediately attacks, and the other mice and birds jump into battle, as well, though Lucifer manages to defeat them. Cinderella then commands the birds to retrieve Bruno, who rushes inside the château and scares Lucifer away by causing Lucifer to leap onto the windowsill and fall out of the tower to avoid being attacked by Bruno. After Jaq and the other mice free Gus, who is clutching the key for dear life, refusing to let go after he realizes Lucifer caught him, and Jaq snaps him out of it by showing he's safe now, Jaq and Gus then hand the key over to Cinderella, who frees herself and successfully fits on the slipper. Afterward, she is taken to the castle and marries the Prince. Jaq and Gus are last seen bidding the newlywed couple farewell, throwing flower petals while dressed in miniature, imperial outfits; symbolizing their newfound status as residents of the king's castle.

My son, Damian, has his dog make goofy poses. This is the bear I made D when he was five and he asked me to mend it. Gus willingly posed with it!
These three photos are no great shots--just fun!
Recently Gus has been pushing chairs up to the counter to see what I am doing. I bought him a stool this week so that he could help me out up above. So for our first collaboration we went big and made cookies, and I was surprised that he was a very good helper. I wasn't sure how it would go, but he loved pouring in the sugar and mixing up the ingredients. He wouldn’t eat any of the dough, which is my favorite part, but he enjoyed the end result later.
HBM!
