He was so weak yesterday that he no longer had the strength to walk or to eat.

I still can't believe he's gone. I had him for practically 13 years. He was a huge part of my life. It's so strange when I walk into my living room and he's not there. It will take a long time to get used to.

I read back through this.

Anyone who would take in a stray doggie will always rate very high on my very,very short list of board buddies.



You will do what you want to do,but no doggie will ever take his place.

That's the way it should be.I wish you well.

For Rupert, and in memory of Duke. Not everyone will take in a stray and love him for 13 years, may you have fond memories, he must have loved you very much.

Richi....sorry to hear bro. I could tell when talking to you on the phone you were incredibly fond of him.


RIP Duke.

I am so sorry.

Damn, that sucks man.

I still remember when my mother's dog was sick. I almost dreaded the death of that girl more than a family member, and when she died, it took my mom weeks to get over it. I guess that is still one of the reasons I cannot get a dog, because I cannot get that close to a pet.

Again, sorry for your loss...

I'm new here, but I'm very sorry you lost your friend. At least you did get some pics of him, it would have been even harder if you didn't get those pics.

I have lots of dogs but the ones that always pull on my heart are my rescues. I have a poor guy here that was bounced 21 times before he got to me, now he's on my couch, he was so lost in his head when I got him. Now he's full of life and sillyness, and recently went to be the live exhibit at the state musuem as the State dog, one of the symbols of Louisiana.
There's nothing in this world like the loyalty of a dog, I'm sorry you lost your buddy, Duke.
