Love you and STILL miss U
I really don't know Duke's birthday. It's just a guess from the age when I got him. I've looked and looked but can't find the first pics I took of him in 1993. Saddens me as I never knew how special he'd be to me. I found some real chicken jerky treats at Sams for his birthday present. He loves them.
Here's some pics in May of 1994
I can't believe you were ever that young
Checking out a turtle
And learning to love those rawhides
More in the next..........

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.

How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

I know you said more are coming, but I just have to comment on what beautiful pictures those are of Duke in his younger days. He's still as handsome as can be too.
Happy 11th birthday to you, precious Duke! I can't wait to see the rest

Duke,
You came into my life when it was supposed to be the happiest. With me just married, I had ignored the things that I knew to be fact. My cat stayed behind because I was afraid of what my new husband might do. I know you've forgiven me for that horrible life in Texas but I still have trouble forgiving myself. We've been through so much together and that has made our bond so strong. I wish so much that I had taken more pics of you. You are my most precious gift that I will always cherish. It makes me sad that you're getting older. It means your life on earth is getting shorter. So, Happy Birthday, sweet baby dog.
Here are some of the things I love about you:
The way both your front feet come off the ground in an excited bark
That playbow that you sometimes do when I get home from work
You snore at night better than any human
That oh so sad look when I leave for work in the morning
The way you paw at the ground and your ears perk up when hunting for lizards
How you love playing in the blanket, searching for your rawhide
How you hate the pool but love the beach. Here you are in October 2003. Thanks to Kay for letting us know about a great place!
How you love to guard your rawhide and play like you're fierce when I try to take it away from you.
You're such a good guard dog that the pool man is terrified
How you make Grandma give you the ear song
So, sweet dog, Happy 11 years and hopefully a lot more to come. I will always love you more than life itself
Here he is after his birthday supper having a noserubber. Dogs do this when they're happy.
And how you've become such a good dog posing for the camera. Kay and Simba sure give good lessons

Oh, Valerie, it doesn't have to be a birthday to celebrate, it's his "Gotcha Day" and you have him and it's "forever".
Happy 11th "Gotcha Day", Duke, and thanks for being such a good friend to your mom, through thick and thin. You are one in a million!!!!
The people want peace...
DUKE DOG!!
I'm not sure if you understand how great you've become in my heart, and how great you've alwats been in Valerie's.
You're such a sweetie and I just love laying on the living room floor rubbing your cute chest. And when I stop, how you push yourself closer and paw at me asking for more.
I love how you and your wonderful mommy come and visit us, and I enjoy every sencond of it.
You're just as playful as a little pup, and as sweet as one too.
Happy birthday Sweet, sweet Boy.. and here's to more!
Make sure mom gives you some of those chicken strips you like, and i'll remember next time you come how much you like those rawhides.
Here's a little something from Simba, and from all of us... including Nala.
(My mom says Happy birthday too, by the way.
HAPPY,HAPPYBIRTHDAY, DUKE!

That's so cool that you and Katie share the same b-day! Now I'll always know when yours is too. I hope you have been having a very special day. I know your mom is making sure of it.
Geesh, 11 years old and still just as handsome as ever if not more so!
Aww, Val, what a great tribute. I loved everything you said. Do you think our pups know how special they really are? I sure do hope so.
Hugs....Robin
