We first got Gus from a Siberian Husky rescue close to
home. I think I was driving Jenny nuts because I was so picky
and we had looked at so many dogs. When we first went to the
rescue we must have looked at 25 dogs and Gus was not one of
the ones she had shown us, because the owner of the rescue
thought that he might be to loud for us. So we went on looking
at dogs at other places and I eventually came back to the
Siberian Husky Rescue. The lady who owned the rescue said that
she had a dog that she has had for a year that no one had
wanted because he was a little loud and sort of possessive.
She brought the dog out who at that time his name was Sterling
and I was shocked, the dog was beautiful, and I thought why
would no one want this dog. I played with him, walked him a
little, listened about the dogs history and took him
home.
The first thing we did was change his name
to Gus, I didn't think this dog should be named Sterling. Jenny
and I named him after a dog that was in the movie
"Iron Will" which had a bunch of huskies in
it.
Gus was definitely one of a kind, Gus
barked very rarely, he had always had this funny woo woo noise
that he made when he wanted to get your attention. Gus loved
to go for walks and meet new people, in fact I don't know one
person Gus didn't like. Gus liked to run and chase rabbits,
play you can't catch me with Jeremy, and to be tickled by
Jenny. Gus also liked riding in the car, camping, playing with our
other dog Sadie, and sleeping on his back. I wish we had a
picture of him sleeping on his back, he slept with all four
feet in the air.
I think that we are very fortunate that Gus waited for
us at the Siberian Husky rescue and that Nancy there gave him
to us. What a great dog Gus is.
We had Gus for a short 5 years and loved
everyday with him.

Unfortunately Gus some how got
Auto Immune Hemolytic
Anemia. The vet said that they just get it and they are not sure how. I'm
not going to try and explain all of the events and what
happened on this page because I just want him remembered for
the way he was.
