Haven't been here in literally years, apparently, and I see (saddened) that the Journals are likely going away.  

I went there to add one last comment to one I posted ten years ago called "Meet Gus."

Because Gus probably still has a few friends here who haven't migrated elsewhere, this news should probably be posted here.

Gus is gone.  Liver cancer, probably, at only ten years old.  We're heartbroken, but he had a great run in his world full of fun, friends, and adventuring.  

We'll miss him.  Oh, how we miss him already.

No "Oh I can't because I can't stand up" type excuses.

We have Buzz so we can have salsa,he HAS to take care of you and make salsa in your stead.

We're all counting on you to keep Buzz strong.

 It made sense to me.
