Your Daily Dose of Duke #23

It's been awhile I have many things I'd like to write about but until then here is The Duke!

Om nom nom

I didn't roll on that dead seal, honest.

Hi!

Oh, am I ruining your shot?

Everything the light touches is MINE!

What's that over there?

Drooly Face!

Allow me to be mysterious in this shot.

Why Drool?

I'M ADOPTED???!!!!!

Winter is Coming

Your Daily Dose of Duke #20

Duke has been busy. We're back to being running partners ... Reunited and it feels so good!!! First his foot kept him from running then my knee kept me from running but now we're back on the same page.

BATDOG!

Duke's yearly photo among the dandelions.

How can you not love that face???

My baby is aging, I know it's just the sun but white face makes me sad.

Olympics!!!!

Your Daily Dose of Duke #19

It's been a long time, Duke has been pretty much in the same place - on the beach, on the couch and on his various beds... I've wrecked my knee so our runs and hikes have been non-existant.

 

 

 

Your Daily Dose of Duke #17

My pooch is on the road to recovery. However, he has gone from "Monster Foot" to "Frankenstein Foot." All his stitches are gone as well as his bandages but he's still not allowed to go on a full run-fest, which he desperately, desperately wants to do.

I was JUST getting comfortable.

And do the Creep!

I heard fireworks are you okay?

Monster foot has become Frankenstein Foot.

Frankenstein Foot!

Why must you bother me while I sleep?

Go Away!

 

Your Daily Dose of Duke #16

My Vet, has once again called me out for letting my dog rule my life ... Duke's foot since his surgery has become what we've dubbed "MONSTER FOOT" or I call it Monster Footitis. The foot that had surgery looks like it belongs to a golden retriever while Duke is a 34 pound mutt.To reiterate what has been said in previous posts (Ahem):

I AM A CRAZY DOG LADY.

Seeing my pooch all bandaged up and knowing we have to put a cone on him not only at night but also when we leave the house, fills me with pain and dread. I just know we're going to come home and find duke choking himself somehow with the cone. I also feel terrible because we've had 5 days of beautiful weather and Duke can't even go for a short walk (okay, he recently got cleared for no more that 3 10-minute walks a day broken up and spaced out). But, I digress, now I fret over this Monster Foot. I thought elevation would help, so now Duke has his own little body pillow and he half spoons with it in order to elevate his Monster Foot. The vet's office thought this was the funniest thing they had ever heard of, especially because my dog is a willing participate. Their exact words "Well, I guess we know who wears the pants in that household."
