Waking Up With Gus. A Loving Alarm Clock. I Got Up.

I’m not use to being photographed in bed, but Maria couldn’t resist using her hot new Iphone camera.

And I have to admit, I’ve have done the same thing. Gus is a lovebuy and we let him out of his crate early this morning, and went back to sleep. Around 7 a.m., which is when we had planned to get up this morning – we are pretty tired –  Gus came crawling up the bed, landed on my chest, and began showering me with licks, even as he ended up chewing a bit on my nose.

He was happy to see me, and it took me a few seconds to focus on what was happening. Gus can be pretty explosive, and if there are things the border collies can do that he can’t do, there are also things he can do that they can’t do, like squirm and wiggle his way up the bed and give me a lick bath.

Boston Terriers are serious about affection.

Good morning, Gus. I love you, too.
