A particularly large taxidermy head & neck of a Texas Longhorn against a limestone wall. He’s flanked by two framed letters explaining who he is and why he’s there. He’s wearing a large fluffy red nose and a Santa hat. This is Gus, who died a natural death at a very old age. As did all of the other Guses before him. He was a gentle giant who loved kids & let them ride him as he was out doing his job as the mascot of a bread brand. He was much loved by the community where he’d come to pasture & by my family who raised & cared for him. When his time came his majestic head was donated to the town & placed prominently in our post office where he continues to make people smile.
