Happy 7th Birthday Duke!


Look who's turned 7 today!  Our little boy Duke, or Sir Reginald Marmaduke as he's know around town!  For his birthday we bought him a box of Greenie's, his most favorite snack in the entire world!  When we talk about them we refer to them a "G's" otherwise he runs to his bed to wait for one!



We're so happy to have this little bundle of energy in our lives!  We can't imagine the house without him.  He's made us laugh so many times it's unbelievable.   Like the time he came downstairs covered in white feathers - yup, he'd had a pillow fight and he come down to tell us he'd lost!  Needless to say, our king size bed was covered in feathers!

Happy 7th Birthday Duke! XOXO!!!

    Happy birthday, Duke! "Greenies," eh? -- sounds like he speaks English better than you speak Dog.

    The story about the pillow fight made me laugh :-)
    And I absolutely love your armchairs - they are in my favourite colours, yellow and blue, plus I love all things tartan / check!

    A dog completes a family...like adding a ribbon to a package. Love the feather story. I have one like that also. Hugs and scratches behind the ears for Duke today.

    What a guy Duke is! Dogs are the very best of companions, aren't they ?!? Always there for a chuckle, always ready to give unconditional love and adoration, the best!

    Happy lucky 7th birthday Marmaduke! Shame on you for the pillow fight (but I would've loved to have seen it).

    My little poodle used to love to unroll the toilet paper.

    Sending good wishes across the miles,

    Duke is so sweet! I just love a dog that brings personality and life to a family. My neighbor and I were just talking about this very subject a couple days ago. Happy Birthday to Duke! Here's hoping he has many more years with his beloved family.

    I feed the Bluebirds Zick dough. You can google it and you'll find the recipe in no time.

    The scones look good! I need to make some! Off to check out the Lobster Mac and Cheese ; )
