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.

my parents had a dog named bubba as well. he was one of the ugliest dogs you could ever come across. we were working on his previous owners house, and they pretty much neglected the dog. i left for boot camp, and during a phone call home, my mother told me that my father had asked for the dog. i was surprised, since my mom isn't much of a dog person at all. he was the first dog they ever let stay in the house, he even slept in their room! that dog was something! he even travelled with them to florida when they came to see me graduate from boot camp. they lost him a few years ago--and no pet since. he was really irreplaceable.
