Yeah! It worked! This is one of the first pictures I made with my new camera. Gus has been my most willing subject. He's got a piece of a foil hamburger wrapper between his paws and growls if Jay-Jay gets near it.


Gus is part pug, part Chihuahua, so we call him a Pughuahua. He weighs 11 lbs., and has a shiny, short-haired buff-colored coat. He's very feisty and aggressive when provoked, and it doesn't take much to provoke him. He's a yapper, notifying us of everything out of the ordinary that comes close or crosses our yard. He's also very affectionate. Strong, stubborn, sweet, sensitive - that's Gus.

Sorry, but with no grandchildren anywhere close, these are the most beautiful subjects I could find.

Are you whining? Well, at least one of them will be three hours north of you in less than a year or so. As for your others, that's not for me to say.

Memphis is 4 hours away for those of us who try to observe the speed limit. But I will be glad to drive it and hope you will, too. Did you read the post about Ricky's interest in the vacant lot next to Vance's? I'll believe it when I see it, but I am praying for it. So, yeah, maybe I was whining a little bit. I do miss you guys.
