Duke is going on an adventure this weekend and moving to Wisconsin!
Since Maddy and Matthew now have a house, they want to share it with our big, dumb, beautiful dog. Out of all the dogs in our house, they had to choose this one...
11 years ago, Duke was the most rambunctious puppy we've ever raised.
Not only did he eat a cell phone and any article of clothing left on the floor, he ate some drawers, deck spindles and our siding. Some have yet to be repaired.
He was trained and walked without the aid of a gentle leader anymore.
He is the only dog in our household that had a legit birthday party when he turned 1. And Meri invited everyone! A guy that works with Robb even showed up and gave Duke a packet of hotdogs for a gift!
Meri has had so much fun with him. We all have.
He grew into a caring dog that loved us all.
And he loves Rock and Roll...
A few more memories of Duke.
aka Dukas, Dufas, Dukey Wukey, etc.
If we could have gotten him into modeling, he'd be a big, big hit...
and then he got married. Married life seemed to settle him down and then all he did was lay on the furniture.
or us.
He's going to love his new home.
And Maddy and Matthew will give him the one on one attention he so deserves in his old age.
Good Dog!

These photos make me laugh. Never heard of a dog eating a cell phone! Oh my!!
I know this has got to be bittersweet for all of you. He's surely going on an adventure. Does he still chew? I hope Maddy and Matthew have enough chew toys!!
I had a wonderful dog growing up - I miss her still. Dufas is one lucky dog to have such a loving human family.
