Banned to bed on this Wednesday morning with a nasty little bug that seems to be going around, I realized I’ve not blogged the newest member of our family yet.
About two months ago, we picked Miss Natalie up from school one Friday afternoon and decided to head over to the Canyon County Animal Shelter to let her pick out a new member of our family. JR and I had actually found a sweet little boy there online that morning and fell for his adorable face, but we wanted to meet him first and let Natalie pick her new buddy herself. It must have been fate because she picked him and Gus made his place right away in our home.
He is so much fun and is a really quick learner which has made our job easier! It took our 11 year old lab a couple weeks to warm up to him, but he did so and has brought the puppy back out in our old boy! It’s adorable. 
We’re not exactly sure what Gus is, but he’s obviously a lab mix, we think likely black lab with a brindle pit bull. He’s got those white markings of a pit bull and that really strange, but so cool brindle coloring mixed in. The neatest part about his coloring is the black stripe down his back and when he gets riled up it does the stand up thing making him have a black mohawk.
Welcome to the family Gus Gus, you are pretty awesome! 4 months old and huge already!
Hi sweet puppy!
And then…The Punk takes over Sweet Puppy. Nope, I did not get a photo of all three together. Puppies are 500x harder to photograph than any active toddler, lol.
