Dog Days

Today my sweet Duke went to live with a new family. Duke came to live with me after Aaron died. He is so full of life and he felt that his purpose in life was to protect me and to keep me warm at night. He would wait until he thought I was comfy then he would push the covers with his nose until he could work himself under the covers. Then after much fanfare and adjustment he would finally find his place and go to sleep. I often woke up to his snoring and believe me he could really snore the rafters off.
When we moved to our new home, which was much smaller and had no fenced yard, Duke became depressed because he was no longer able to spend a warm day outside in the sun without being on a leash. He hated the leash and in return let everyone who passed by our house know how much he hated it. So we started looking for a new family for Duke. Today we found one. He has gone to live with a very sweet family in St George. They have 5 kids who think he is the best thing ever and he again has a big back yard to play in or just lay in the sun.
Duke you have no idea how much I love you and how very much you will be missed. I know you are happy and that makes me happy too.
