Everyone loved him and he loved everyone. Best friend, companion, fishing and camping buddy, we went everywhere and were always together, long walks everyday and we were close as a man and his dog could be.

Sorry to hear about Duke, I know it sucks.

2 weeks ago Friday I had the same experience with my cat. He was FIV positive and had developed a brain tumor. Had seizures, lost weight, and finally that morning he was no longer able to enjoy any part of life. Made it to barely 7 years old, and his litter-mate sister had lost the battle to Leukemia last Sept. William Powell and Myrna Loy were the inspiration for their names . (The Thin Man 1940s comedy movies about an alcoholic private detective couple). RIP Willie and Myrna... The house is not the same.
I have a love for dubious openings and gambits so the worst opening in existence with exception of the grob had to be chosen
