In Loving memory of Duke

Duke the Davis family's beloved pet of 9 years passed away last night, July 28, 2009 around 11:20 p.m. He was a wonderful dog and will be dearly missed. He had a colorful personality with his friendly attitude. He was so funny with his bucket flipping games. I regret never getting a video of it now. He would fetch a ball and never return it to you. He galloped like a horse down the hallways and was a wonderful watchdog. The house will be so quiet without him. Lindsy picked him out of a litter when she was just two. Elizabeth used to lay on him and crawl on him and love him and he would just enjoy the attention. He would go jogging and hiking with me and he loved riding in the car and taking walks with anyone who would. Rest in peace my dear Duke.
