In Memory of
Mr. Duke
I got Mr. Duke many years ago. He was under weight,and the guy that had him couldn't take care of him any longer. When I got him, I wormed him good and got him on a good diet. This picture don't do him real justice, as he got much larger then this. He got over 100lbs.
I had a lot of fun with Mr. Duke. He was a master at getting loose and he would run forever. Once he got loose and I saw him going up the driveway, He went three miles before I could get in the truck and catch up to him. But to my luck, the only thing he liked more then running was riding. All I had to do was catch up to him, get out and let the tail gate down. He would jump right in and we would go home.
Mr. Duke lived with us for many years. Then it seemed in his older age, the heat was unbearable. We would give him ice water to help keep him cool. And keep a shade for him, but it most have been to much. We lost Mr. Duke to a heat stroke one hot summer day. He was alot of fun and we will miss him for a very long time.
I dedicate this page to
