Hi friends, Gus here 🐾
In honor of National Therapy Animal Day, I want to see your comfort crew. Today is about ALL of us: the certified professionals and the self-appointed snuggle specialists.
Drop your therapy sidekick below. Even if it’s a cat. I’m still working on my cat friendship…. Happy National Therapy Animal Day! 🩷🐶🐾

I have decided I would like a cat.
Specifically, this cat.

I have tried everything to make this friendship happen. I have been studying Mom very closely. She walks up to the cat, gently pets him, and he likes it. Revolutionary.
So naturally, I tried the same technique.
I carefully approached… lifted my paw… and gave him a nice, loving pat.
He did not like it.
In fact, he acted like I had committed some sort of offense?? Sir, I am PETTING you. This is how friendship works.
I even tried again and again, and he still gave me that look. You know the one. The “absolutely not” look.
At this point, I’m starting to think there are different rules for me.
I remain committed to this relationship, but the cat is making it very difficult to reach his level.
I don’t understand cats. 🐈‍⬛ 🐶

Took Mom on a walk to Grandma’s today 🐾
Grandma surprised me with a brand new toy, and I was so happy I carried it all the way home myself. I didn’t even want to put it down. I just love it so much.
Mom said I’m going to need to learn to pick up my toys or she’s going to tell Grandma I have enough… how dare she suggest such a thing.
Grandmas are the best… they always know exactly what we need 💛

Guess what? I had my final supervised therapy dog visit and passed! Mom almost screwed it up by tying a little kids shoes during the test. She was supposed to be 100% focused on me, but I was the best boy and waited patiently. As soon as mom sends in my paperwork, I’ll be officially certified! Can’t wait to start my professional cuddling career. 💛 - Gus

Gus here 🐾

I like to help Mom on our daily walk… so, I walk Piper.

If you need a dog walker, I’m available. Very experienced. Strong leash skills. Please pay me in treats because apparently I have to buy my own around here. 🙄

Gus likes to go for a jog when Lance bikes. I would break my neck trying that, but they have a system and Gus is actually pretty independent. 😂❤️

🎭 BIG NEWS 🎭

Mom said I’ve officially landed the lead role as Mr. Peabody in a local production of Peabody & Sherman! 🤓🐾

They said they needed someone brilliant, sophisticated, and able to pull off round glasses… and well… here I am.

I’ve been rehearsing at home. Rehearsals are going great. Mom keeps saying I’m naturally very dramatic. That’s good, right?
She also says it’s “just an April Fools’ joke,” but I’m pretty sure opening night is just around the corner. 🎬✨
