Subject: RE: Duke (Ralph & Taffy)
Hard to believe he is 3 1/2 years old already!
But yet, it seems we've always had him. My husband and I don't
remember how it was before Duke. We just can't imaging life without
him. He is a gentle soul. The kids adore him. When Duke was a
puppy, our daughter wanted Duke to sleep with her all the time.
Now, she complains she has no room in the bed. Ha! ha! But yet,
she won't kick him out of bed...she just snuggles with him. And he
let's her, even when it's warm!! When we go for a walk with Duke,
people in the neighborhood are so amazed that he so well behaved and
so gentle. It is amazing when you think about it.

Duke snuggling with his sister Chelsey
Duke is about 6 to 7 month old |
Here is Duke (1 year & 2 months), ready to go out for a walk. But
since it was so cold out, we decided to put my husband's fleece shirt
on him. He's quite the fashion god!! |
Here is Duke
graduating from level one training. He is basically the only one
sitting still! Boy, did he ever love playing with the other dogs at
break time!! He was 10 month old in this picture. Look how handsome
he is!!! |

Here is Duke in the back yard at almost 4
months old. As you can tell, the kids decided to dress him up.
He wasn't crazy about it, but he just let
them do it with no complaints. |
|
Here he is with Santa!!
Remember he's not one year old yet!

Duke's first Christmas
(2004)
What a good boy he is!! Never went near the tree!
But
when we handed him his present to open.
Well, lets just say, he didn't waste anytime!! |

Duke was 6 months old and he was meeting
Hewie, a black lab for the first time.
Hewie was a burst of energy constantly
tugging at Dukes ears!
Hewie was almost 5 month old and way
smaller that Duke.
But Duke was so gentle with him. He
kept trying to clean Hewie's ears. What a good boy! |

Duke at
the end of May 2004, 5 months old |
Yawning 7 to 8 weeks old |

Duke when we just got him home in March
2004 (around 7 to 8 weeks old and he weighed 30 lbs!)
Look how cute he was!! But of course he
still is.
There is one of him yawning that is cute
and another one where he is trying to bark! Too cute!
