My mom was asking me the other day about my first child and I realized I had not yet introduced him to all of you yet. Obviously I am not referring to Jack but, rather, to Gus.Actually his full name is Augustus McCrae Brookshire - a little pretentious, I know; but one of Josh's favorite movies is Lonesome Dove and it seemed to suit him. He is a miniature Yorkshire Terrier and weighs all of five pounds. But don't let his size fool you - he is a ferocious beast (at least that's what we let him go on believing).
Gus has been in our family for six years now. He is so good with the boys and the boys love him, sometimes a little too much; however, Gus puts up with it. I kind of think he just assumes this is his lot in life and he'd better just make the most of it.
So mom, as you can see, Gus is doing well but he misses you. Come and see him soon.
