Gus has now been living with us for approx three and a half months, In that time we have run 405 miles together, he has had his plums removed and he has chewed Mrs M's favourite orange wedge shoes among other various household items. As we all get to know each others habits and mannerism's we have found a winning formula for daily life which is a follows
- I get up around 5:30am and walk Gus over the park where he can chase rabbits and foxes and generally wreak havoc with any other dog up at that time who is willing to play
- He spends most of the morning asleep and protecting the castle
- Mrs M gets home and walks him mid afternoon which is much the same as earlier in the day with the added fun of him totally ignoring Mrs M and mostly just running off across the fields till he realises he may not get fed if he does not return to the person who feeds him ( Mrs M)
- I return home from work and I'm pestered and followed round the castle till I give in and put on my running gear and take Gus out for a run, this is where he truly is in his Element. he will run and run and run, no matter how fast or slow I go he is happy to trot along, this is also the time he is at his best behaved.
- upon returning from our run Gus will seek out his bed and clean himself of all mud (I have never seen a dog that disliked dirty paws and legs so much)
- Once he is happy he is clean he then falls asleep
now if the above procedure is not followed to the letter then Gus gets BORED! and when Gus gets bored the finds things to entertain him self, (see the above picture)
