My heart broke over his being returned...the family's circumstances changed, and they couldn't handle the additional responsibility -- and I respect that. But I know how it feels to be unwanted, and he has not had a long-term home.

A childhood nickname was "Gus." For both the "Torey & Gus" morning show (my friend has the puppet), and astronaut Gus Grissom (we're all space fanatics). We like Snoopy the Beagle in "Peanuts," and another nic for me was "Peanut." (I had four -- Princess and Pamy were the others.)

He's older...and so are we. He loves to walk, and I need to. I need more routine, and a companion when hubby,travels. He's a perfect size and shorthaired. A wonderful vet is literally right down the road. They can board him when we're gone on long trips, and we have a couple of friends (partners) eager to babysit him when we're away for brief times.

Keep your fingers crossed!
