When we drive up to the Sanctuary, Gus runs to the gate to come outside. He is the only one allowed outside the gate. He always manages to turn over a bucket of goodies to chow down.

I tore a tendon in my back in late spring and was not able to visit the babies at the sanctuary for over 2 months. We finally visited a couple of weeks ago. Everyone was so happy to see us.

Gus eating treats from the ground. Gus was really loving today. Maybe he has forgiven us for leaving him at the Sanctuary when he was 3 months old.
