Soooo Bigggg

My lil Gus Gus is officially 1 year old today. Last evening I took him to the beach at the marina and let him play in the water to start the celebration early. It is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. He runs up and down the shoreline OVER and OVER and OVER again. He used to be scared of the water, but now he goes out and plays in it. He tried to be brave and swim...realized he couldn't do that...and scurried up to where he could touch again...I admit that his momma was a lil scared, but I guess he had to learn. He was so worn out from all the running that he pretty much slept all day...but I figured it's his day, and he can do what he wants. When I got home from work I took him to the store and got him Frosty Paws (ice cream for dogs) which he L*O*V*E*D! He seemed to be a fan of the peanut butter flavor cause it was gone in just a few minutes. Of course I got him another toy while I was there....even though I knew it wouldn't last longer than 5 seconds. We have yet to find a toy that he doesn't try to kill...there is no point in getting anything with stuffing...he just tears that out. The so called "indestructible" and "durable" toys were clearly not tested on bulldogs, cause he chews them into pieces immediately. But, since it's his birthday, I got him a lil fat toy and let him tear the crap out of it...stuffing everywhere....squeaker out....nose bit off....ears close to nothing. He had a good time!

So...I think he has had a wonderful 1st year of life filled with lots and lots of love. Happy Birthday Gus Gus!
