Hi Friends! My name is Gus. More technically, I am Sir Augustus Lancelot Meowgie Esquire the third (prestigious don’t you think?), but I am referred to as “Gus” or “Gusalupagus”.
It was in October of 2007 that I was found, I was only about 4 months old. I was left out in the cold in South Bend, Indiana. I was being beaten by sticks, and having rocks thrown at me by mean children. I was also being attacked by dogs (and still cannot hear a dog bark without being scared to death). A very nice couple named Jeremy and Miriam took me in. They tried very hard to find my family, but no one seemed to want me. Then one day, we went on a very, very, very long drive. All the way to Colorado. There, I met my new family, who happened to be Jeremy’s little sister, and her husband. (I like them, they’re my favorite) I was very scared for the first few days, but then I saw my new home, where I had my OWN room, many toys, and plenty of food to fill my little belly. They even let me snuggle with them on the bed!!!
Now, I’m a big boy. They bring home boxes just for me to play in, feed me yummy things (my favorites are goldfish crackers, roast beef, and cheese), and let me do whatever I want. Yeah, I’m pretty much totally awesome. And everyone always comes to visit and play with me, and give me belly rubs.
Regularly, I am taken over to my arch-enemy’s house (he’s also my best friend) and I’m forced to play with him. I don’t like him very much, I have to growl and hiss at him to keep him in his place. But he’s learning. I’m just scared of him because he’s so much bigger than me, and I’m such a little boy.
That’s all for now, we shall talk more later.
Kisses!
Gus
