Gus was my baby. My husband bought him as a present to me when we first got married. 
I lost him 4/1/01 and think of him everyday. Gus was a grumpy Lhasa Apso with a puppy 
side to him. He liked sitting in the recliner with my husband and he thought he was king. 
I have 2 of Gus' sons with me and that does help ease the heartbreak.

We planted a memorial garden in Gus' honor. Our family and friends came to the dedication 
and brought plants and flowers. We also have rocks with names of other family pets that 
have passed to the rainbow bridge. Whenever I hear the wind chimes in that garden chime, 
I think of Gus' letting me know we will be together again one day.
