Ok, I'm obsessed with my dogs...So What!

Another doggie post!!! YAY!
An update on Charlie and Gus is in store! The purpose of getting another dog (Gus) was so that Charlie would have a friend to play with, and it worked out very nicely! We were afraid that Charlie would always be mean to Gus because now he is in competition for attention, but Charlie slowly warmed up to Gus--now they are inseparable! In fact it can be annoying at times! haha. If we try to put one of them in another room or outside they cry at the door until they are together again! Charlie will also get really mad if another dog messes with Gus. Gus is just a big 'oofy' sweetheart and other dogs will get annoyed with all the attention Gus gives them so they will growl at him. Charlie runs right over to protect Gus. So Cute! They can get a little rough with each other sometimes, but I figure that's just because Charlie wants to be in charge and Gus is slowly getting a lot bigger than Charlie. Here are some pics of the cute doggies! (Some of them were taken on my phone so they aren't the best quality!

Here's Gus and Charlie sleeping together. Charlie opened his eyes for a picture!

One day I was at the computer and I look down to find Gus cleaning Charlie's ears. Gus is always cleaning Charlie and Charlie just loves it!

You can tell in this picture just how big Gus is compared to Charlie. Ignore the disgusting state of the glass door! That would be the dogs fault! Also, ignore the clothes piled up on the dresser, haha I was rearranging! (I promise we aren't trashy)

All in all, I am so glad we got Gus. He is just such a sweet, loving dog. I don't feel so bad about Charlie being at home anymore cause I know he has a friend. Also, there were a few people who expressed concern that we got a deaf dog. But I will tell you, we have not had a problem at all. Gus would rather be outside most of the time so we will just leave the back door open so they can go in and out. And if we want Gus to come inside we just tell Charlie to "go get Gus," and he will run outside and bring Gus back in. Charlie knows Gus's name so he is a huge help. Also, most of the time Gus will just watch Charlie and do what Charlie does. We have also taught him a few hand signals so he will obey those. Gus has been a great addition!

Yay for dogs!
