I feel like I have the best dog in the world! We just love him so much. He has such a funny personality and is always doing something that makes us laugh. Duke always lets us know if we are boring him. He will lay on the floor resting his chin on his paws and give the biggest sigh while staring up at you! We always interpret it as "this is no fun! Why won't you play with me??" then of course we think it's the cutest thing so we'll get up from what we're doing to go over to him or pick up his ball and then the world is right again!
Some of my favorite things that he does I've been able to catch on camera!
This picture is pretty much him in the morning while I'm getting ready for work... he sits between me and the sink and stares at me!!! I always think he's telling me, "Why are you getting dressed, are we going somewhere? Am I going too??" ha ha
Oh Bath time... He's such a good sport when it comes to taking a bath. When we first got him as a puppy he ALWAYS wanted to get in the shower with you. I remember the morning after we got him I got into the shower and he couldn't see me so he sat at the tub crying/whining for me. So I picked him up and stuck him in the tub with me. He loved it! From then on out he always was trying to take showers with us! Now our shower is so small he doesn't like it! So he just puts up with it... :)
The other night I was walking to my side of the bed to lay down and he hurries and jumps up on the bed and OF COURSE sits on my pillow!!!! Are you kidding me!! He looks like he's laughing at me! Like " HA HA, what are you going to do about it?! I'm so funny!!"
This is Duke on a typical day. He is really funny because where he sits or lies down he always is in a position where he can see us. Or if Brint and I are in two different rooms, he'll sit somewhere where he can see both of us! Its so funny. So this is his spot outside our front door where he'll sit. He has a clear shot of the inside of the house from this spot so he can be outside and checking on us at the same time. HA!!
This is by far my favorite thing to see in the rear view mirror. He, like most dogs, loves having his head out the window of the car. His ears fly in the wind and he loves it! I have to force myself not to watch him and watch the road!
All in all, Duke is our pride and joy! He is our center of attention and our baby. Most people don't understand how similar having a dog is like having a child. A dog is probably just easier! But he is our child and I pretty sure he thinks he's a real human boy! Our little furry love bug! :)

This is exactly how I feel about our dogs (we have 2) They are just like kids to us. Trixie our baby had to have surgery two days ago and Buck and I were a wreck because we felt so bad for her.
I just love the feeling that our dogs bring to our family too! I loved hearing about Duke's sweet, funny personality. He is a lucky dog to have the two of you!
what a cute dog! i love how animals have their own cute personalities! I want a dog so bad!
The picture in the bathroom is pretty "sweet" looking. You can see that look on his face.Poor thing knows he's about to be left home alone once you leave for work!
