As expected, Gus touched off a minor riot at the Mansion, the residents went wild over him and he was passed around to many loving hands. It is too early in the game, but I think he will be a great therapy dog, he just loves people and gives them attention and affection.

Jane, a budding artist and writer, took him and held him for awhile. He left many smiles in his wake, he has joined the Mansion family, part of my family now. Thanks so much for your letters and gifts, they are so much appreciated. The Fourth Of July messages and packages and cards are beginning to arrive. Thanks for that. We will be there for the celebration. Gus and Red will be busy.
