Happiness Is.......(40 something pics)

I put some of the meeting pics in here, too. Thanks PJ's mom for requesting pics of Duke. That made me feel good. For most of these pics, just put "Happiness is" in front of them.
Going for a ride.

The End

Awww, Val! Thank you so much for these pictures. Duke is so adorable and has such a sweet face. :)

Thank you!! :)

Valerie - this totally brought tears to my eyes!! This was a beautiful post!!!! I just love that it included some of my girl too! Duke is such an amazing boy with the most expressive face I've seen!! He is just like a human in so many ways! A wise man with so much to give to the world - for the one's who will take time to listen.

This thread is definitely being bookmarked! Thank you for sharing some insight into this gorgeous animal's life - you're special boy, Duke!

Those are wonderful!!!! I kept saying "happiness is" like you said. I was smiling, even laughing all the way through your beautiful display. Thanks....and DUKE is just toooo gorgeous. You can tell he knows it.

What beautiful pictures Val! All of those gorgeous PT pups! :D

Finally! It's been too long since we've seen your gorgeous boy, Val. All the pics are great:D I love those blue hawaiian bandanas, where did you guys get them? I've been looking for a bandana with that design for a long time now....

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this thread. I'm going to be bookmarking it too, I made a folder not long ago for favorite bookmarked threads to look back at and this is definitely going in. Beautiful thread Val, I too almost felt choked up while reading it and going through the pictures. I can feel your joy of watching the dogs enjoy life so much. Please give dearest Duke a hug and kiss from me. Thanks so much for posting this as you did Val, loved it :).
