Beloved Duke is at RB...

[dukedogsmom]

My dearest dog. The birthday I gave you, April 5th, will come while I'm at work so I wanted to put this up now. I'm so mad at myself for forgetting it last year. I never dreamed it would be your last. I miss you so much, words can't explain. But my tears now, can. I hope all the RB dogs give you a wonderful party. Is there a dog beach there? I hope so. I've always loved this pic of you for your 12th birthday. If only I could hug you again. You're always in my heart and on my mind. I miss you terribly. Until we meet again, sweet Duke.
Love,
Mama

Val, I'm sure the RB dogs will have a grand birthday party for Duke. My Mandy loved parties, maybe she is getting things ready right now. I'm sure too that there is a dog beach at the RB.
I know this week will be especially hard for you. PM me anytime. {hugs}

Val,
I am certain all the doggies are on the beach with Duke, having a blast.
He is looking down at you - and knows that you are thinking of him on this special day, and every day.

Val.. for sure Duke is partying with Cody and friends! Of course there's a beach (and snow so I'm told) so Duke is romping like a kid, having a blast! Happy Birthday, Duke! With tons of love from Aunt K9 and your honey girl, Klo.

Thanks so much ya'll. I'm feeling a little better and let me tell you why. Not too long into the work night, there was an officer on a traffic stop. When we put them on the vehicle stop, it automatically runs the tag. That tells us what kind of car the tag should be on, who it's registered to and where they live. When I'm not really busy, I often check the call history of the address that's on the registration. In the history under the name, was a person with the last name of Duke. I can't say the first name here but the way it read, first name last, was one of the nicknames I had been calling Duke almost his whole life. It was only missing one letter in the middle. Now if that's not a sign, I don't know what is. I thought it was really special. I wish I had printed it out. Tonight, I will.

I told you Duke would send you signs.
