Ruby's Best Friend

GUS
And just like any friend she has she gets in fights and gets her feelings hurt. Today I had to put Gus in time out for pushing Ruby. I couldn't console her by explaining that it is okay for Gus to push her because he didn't mean to... That just upset her more, so i put Gus in her little play house until she said he could come out, which was a second later (Kids get over things so fast). Other fights they got into;
1. When gus wouldn't return the tennis ball
2. slobbering on her arm
3. Taking her toy food apple
4. pulling to hard on the rope when they were playing tug of war.
5. When his tail whacks her in the face
When they are on good terms you can usually see:
1. Ruby hitting Gus with a drum stick them petting him and telling him, "Sorry Gus, Sorry"
2. Ruby brushing Gus with his Brush
3. Ruby feeding him treats
4. Ruby pouring water on Gus
5. Gus and Ruby playing with the rope (tug of war)
6. Gus following Ruby around.

The more he entertains her outside the more worth I see in him.

Guuuuuuuuussss. Oh Gus. He is so huge. Way cute post kitten! How is Gus with the new baby? Has he gotten to sniff her yet?

He has tried to get a few sniffs in, but I have not formally introduced them

Buwahahaha! I love it. Too cute. I was always pleasantly surprised after Basil mauled Ruby how quickly she would get over it.

He is such a big dog! I bet he is just a big teddy bear with her. I miss having a dog around, but then again, there is that poop you have to take care of. I think I will skip for now!
