Hello Duke!! I miss you so much.
I will never forget the day we went to buy another basset. I never imagined I would get a male but I did. I am so glad that I did and thankful for the time we had together. You were and still are “the boy”. Sherry bought a life size statute of a basset and we call him “the boy”. Duchess and Savannah are still with us. We have another basset girl, Mollysue.
We still live on your land. I know how much you loved to “hunt” and run on your land. I’ll never forget when you got so sick how you walked the entire perimeter and then laid down under the azaleas.
I sit under the trees by your grave and remember you with such love that my heart aches. The girls lay by your grave. I just know they remember you and somehow know you are there.
I finally got a place in the mountains. The girls have been there once. You were with us, in spirit and in my heart. I would love to have
seen you in the snow.
Last night, October 14th, would have been your birthday. As always, I lit a candle and placed it on your grave. I also do that on the anniversary of the day you had to be put to sleep, as well as Christmas and New Years. You are not gone, just away. I know when I leave this earth you will be waiting for me at heaven’s gates.
Until then,
