cousins!

duke met his cousins charlie & tommy last week.
it was all kinds of adorable!

what duke has been up to

duke is working hard on becoming a bad little dog. so far, he's chewed on the tv-stand, coffee table, and part of the hallway carpet. I told him "three strikes and you are out, mister!"
he just wagged his tail when i said "out".

ah, but the cuteness.

lounging on his bed:

lounging on the deck:

stalking his toys:

exercising his right to vote

(yo voté!)

waiting for someone to throw the ball:

Duke!

We're having a blast with our new puppeh, Duke! We adopted him last weekend from the humane society; formerly known as Puppetini, he's a 9 month old Labrador-Basset Hound mix. Hilarious! He looks like a labrador on top but with these short little basset legs. (Update: He's a Lab-Corgi mix!) When he's lying down, you think he's a normally sized dog, but then he gets up to walk, and it's like - where are your legs, sir??
But he is just as happy as can be, and will not be deterred by your short jokes.
