I've not been here much lately; but I've been trying to follow the posts on dear Duke's health. When I saw the posts this morning, I prayed all day that it was not so. But I found tonight that it was not to be.

Val, please accept my sincere and deep sympathy at the passing of such a wonderful old soul. It is rare in life that we find our heart dog, but both of you were graced and lucky to have found each other.

RIP Duke, I'm sorry to have never met you. Please look up my Peach at the bridge, I'm sure you two will be great friends.

Robin
