Duke

We have an adorable Cockapoo dog, his name is Duke and he's 20 pounds of terror! Duke was named after my husbands paternal grandfather Reginald Marmaduke W., who was also known as Duke. Grandpa Duke was born on a boat that sailed from England to Canada in 1877 (yes that date is correct). Duke is our only "child" and he runs the roost! For those of you who are wondering what a Cockapoo is, it's a mix of a Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle. We bought Duke from an on-line breeder, ANGELS COVE COCKAPOOS in Ohio.

Duke is hypo-allergenic, which is great for my dog allergies. He does not shed because he has hair, the other good thing about that is I don't have to vacuum every day!

Hanging out in Maine, waiting to go to the beach!

Duke loves to hang out on the foot stool in the family room

Here he thinks he's a "hot" dog after a trip to Pampered Paws

He's quit smoking the stogies, now if we could

only get him to give up the 3 martini lunch!

Totally bored posing for photos! and wondering

if there's a treat in it for him - he lives for treats,

don't we all - LOL!

Ah, feeling the wind in his face - one of his

favorite pastimes in the car.

I hope you enjoyed my post about my pet, he really is a lot of fun, especially when playing ball, or going for a walk. He's also a great little watch dog, like most males, very protective of his territory!
