Video: Coming Home: Gus Steals Fate’s Favorite Toy Right Off. First Look

by Jon Katz

I feel like one of those strange people posting puppy videos on You Tube, perhaps that’s because I am one of those people. Gus has a great first day. We picked him up at ll a.m.,  Robin Gibbons gave us a wonderful gift bag to take home, she is sweet and classy.

She was also have to have her house back and get some sleep. We took Gus on a whirlwind tour of the town, poor dog, we went straight to the Round House, the Battenkill Book Store, and then the Mansion Assisted Care Facility. Gus is a bit hit, as most puppies would be.

We showed him the donkeys (he was not much interested)  introduced him to Fate, who tried to terrorize him briefly but seems to be accepting him well, except she doesn’t want him playing with any of her things. She barked at him a few times, but then settled down.

We had a joyous hour out in the yard scratching bellies, getting to know one another. I put the camera aside this afternoon, I just wanted him to get a chance to bond with me and Maria, which seems to have happened already. He is a calm and loving creature, and quite playful. He is already beginning to come when called, does not yet know his name.

I’ll put some photos up, we are happy to have him.
