Gus Arrives!!!

I got a call from Jeff, one of the Pro Pet Transport drivers at 8:15 AM letting me know they were a half hour away from my front door. I found this amazing considering they estimated a week ago that they would arrive today at 9:00 am- they were only 15 minutes off! I heard a truck outside so Kristen grabbed my camera and we went out to welcome Gus back to Maine.

One of the drivers pulled out the ramp, opened the door, and a few moments later I saw Gus for the first time in nine months. He walked down the ramp and I said his name.....he looked at me and pulled towards me, giving me a big hug and a kiss. Jeff, (I think) gave me the disposable camera which they used to take pictures of Gus's journey, (I am going to get those developed today.) Gus certainly looked tired and a little confused, I am sure his sleep pattern was a little thrown off this past week, (in a truck, surrounded by other dogs coming and going.)

We showed Gus around his new house and introduced him to his new friends Kaya, Hobbes and Kitty- they seem to be getting along great.

He has been home for a little over an hour now and he has been napping for the last 20 minutes- I suspect he has quite a bit of sleep to catch up on. It is so good to have him home.
