Sir Duke! (Pic heavy)

A month ago I was giddy with de-lite to introduce you to out new fur baby, Sir Duke.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/116120070

Today is his one month anniversary with us. HE has happily gained a point (needs about 4 more) and is getting above nicely with our three kittehs, I thought it would be nice to share some of them with you!

Duke with his Pa(w):


When he falls asleep at night he is like a floppy floppy muppet.


Hanging out at our fave mexican El Salvadorian place (the weather was 70 degrees this past sunday — you bet we went out for margaritas and lunch!)


This crazy dog actually loves watching YouTube videos, here is is watching birds, but he also likes to watch the Stephanie Miller show on FSTV!)


Here he just looks happy, and wants to sing for the Spring to get here!

He and his sister were sent to our local welfare league from West Virginia! I am so in love!

he stalks birds and squirrels — this was him at Petsmart a few weeks ago:

WE have video of us trying to drag him away. He just sat and stared.

His physicality and his personality fit the breed.

Someone gave him up in WV. That vet passed him (and his sister, she was up for adoption as well) to our welfare league.

I have a feeling he was supposed to be a hunting bird dog, and did a bad job.

Good for us!

He's just so funny and sweet and loving.

As soon as it gets dark, he's ready to sleep. He becomes a floppy dog.

Runs like hell during the day, inside the house, he is chill. He's so wonderful and also full of derp.
