🧡🐾 Some pretty special things have been happening around here!

Mom and I picked up our badges to volunteer at Samaritan Hospital and the Cancer Center! We’ve also been making hospice visits and spending time with the residents at Regency.

Mom says it means a lot to be able to share a little joy with people who might need it. I’m just happy to be there, offer some cuddles, make a few new friends, and hopefully bring a smile or two. If my wagging tail or big golden face can make someone’s day better, then I think I’m right where I’m supposed to be. 🥰

Mom keeps trying to train me new tricks - she said people love when I give them high 5 and thinks I should keep learning more tricks and tasks. Her latest is trying to get me to help with the laundry. That doesn’t seem like a very fun trick, so I’m pretending I no longer know the command, “take it”. Now she is starting my training from the beginning for that task and that just means more treats for me. 😉

Stay golden,
Gus

Mom and I went to Good Samaritan Hospital to fill out our paperwork to volunteer. We had our pictures taken for our badges and received our credentials to keep track of our volunteer hours. Just a couple more hoops to jump through and then we are cleared for hospital and cancer center therapy visits. We were gifted some swag as we left today. 💙💛 I am excited about my new job!

Dad says I’m getting too big for his lap.

I disagree.

I am exactly the right size for Dad’s lap. This is obviously a Dad problem, not a Gus problem. 🤷‍♂️😂 If I fit, I’m still a lap dog. And I fit, so there.

On my way to the groomer. I’m not sure why - mom is always saying how handsome I am. But I have to admit, I do enjoy hanging out with the girls. They fuss over me, tell me I’m a good boy, and give me attention. I kinda like the bath, brushing, and general pampering too. Hmmm…maybe this whole grooming thing is just an excuse for the ladies to spend time with me… whatever the reason, I’ll be a good boy like I always am. 🐶❤️

Hide and Seek. I understood the assignment, just not the strategy. But, mom said I got points for being cute.

Gus’s mom here. Sometimes I just sit in awe at how fortunate I am to have this gorgeous boy! He is beautiful as a sunset, sweet as honey and not at all burdened by deep thoughts. 🧡

What can I say, sometimes I am just deliriously happy. Mom says I’m just delirious. 😜 Whatever…. ~ Gus

I had my ACVO Service Animal Volunteer Eye Screening today at the Animal Eye Doctor in Beaverton. This is a great program which is free for dogs doing service to make sure we can see well to do our jobs. The doctor said I have great eyes and gave me this new bandana. Mom said I was a good boy and got me a pup cup on the way home. 🐶🧡🦴
