January 1st 2011 was an eventful day. Eventful because "The Gus" came into our lives. This is his story, thus far.
Dad was out with his trusty whipper-snipper(aka line trimmer), cleaning up the tall grass at the yard where he parks the tractors[he sells them], when he spotted a tiny little orange dot. Before he can think he reaches down and grabs a crazed bundle of fur and, lovingly, throws it into the back of his car.
We transported it home in a dirty[had just been moving ducks] cat cage. Upon arriving home we discovered it was "A BOY!!" Now to name him... Godric? Eric? Octavius? The names flew for 3 days until we settled on Gus, short for Augustus Gloop.
In that first week wee lil Gussie gained 300g, we estimate he was about 6 weeks old.
Gus isnt so little anymore, and he is quite a handful, but loves to accompany you across the paddocks.
