Rupert,
I'm saddened by Duke's passing. It's a huge loss.
Our dog is now 12 years old. Bubba is really my son's dog, but he's now 22 and moved away and starting his career. I now work from home while my wife works outside the house. So, Bubba is now "my dog."
I often spend 8-10 hours sitting at my desk working and he's always just a few feet away. I get up, he gets up. He moves slow because of arthritis, but he gives us so much and in return takes so little.
Like anyone with a wonderful dog, we are thankful for his companionship and his unconditional love.
I hope your happy memories of Duke help ease your sorrow.
