Duke, age 11 1/2

Duke is one year older and wiser. He enjoyed a full year

of travel, swimming, walks and playing at the park.

He lives for the times when the kids are home and loves

playing outside with them and all of their friends. He is

still crazy for tennis balls and loves to play catch and

swim. He dressed up as a hotdog this year for Halloween

(instead of his usual monkey) and enjoyed going

door-to-door "visiting" the neighbors. He adds an

element of delight and love to our lives and for that,

we love him dearly.
