Oh Val..I know that sweet Duke is everything to you. Getting older totally sucks. I know the precious pumpkin would never hurt you intentionally, but maybe, when he's sleeping or not facing you, you can tap on the floor so he gets the vibration as to not frighten him. Just as a fun test, i showed RB Cody some hand signals and he caught right on, the wise guy. I've been trying to teach Logan some basics and she's catching on quickly too.

Heavy duty prayers for our beloved boy, that except for this setback, he remains healthy and happy. Mz Klo and I bestow countless kisses on Duke and send you hugs as well. Chin up!
