...and for me to have a kitten of my own (John has had Gus longer than he's known me.) Somehow, we left there with this:
As you can tell, he's all dog. He's a labrador retriever mixed with border collie (we believe). He's 2 1/2, house trained, full of energy, and quite the lover. He flips (almost literally) when he sees his leash, and thinks car rides are the next best thing to the leash. He LOVES riding in the car.
Well, when we brought him home, we apparently didn't "doggie-proof" our house well enough. He was very nosey as to what we had thrown in the trash, so we now have a covered trash can. And, we soon found that he showed his affection to John by chewing up all of HIS things: eye glasses, video games, DVD's, etc. Oh, he chewed one book of mine, one.
John would get so mad about this, but nothing compared to the day we came downstairs to find a particular DVD on the family room floor. As I looked down at the shards of plastic and destroyed DVD case, I just had to laugh. The movie he had chosen this time was: Unbreakable (starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson) C'mon, unbreakable? Apparently not!! I was cracking up (Ha!); John wasn't.
The End.

That's such a cute picture of Gus!
I'm glad to hear that Wrigley has done nothing but enrich your lives.
And Unbreakable? Ohhhhhhhh the irony! (That was an odd movie - good, but odd, don't you think?)
Do you own "All Dogs Go to Heaven?" If he keeps it up, that might be his next DVD, I'm thinking.
That's so funny! I sure he saw the title and took it as a personal challenge. And victoriously conquered the challenge.
A few years ago our golden retriever got so sick that we had to take him to the emergency vet. When we got there, they did a cat-scan and saw a massive tumor in his stomach. $2000 and one emergency surgery later, they found it was in fact not a tumor. It was a ball of rolled up socks. My mom's socks. She was pretty angry at him for a while after that. :)
