Duke, a 6-year-old German shepherd, is a relatively new addition to our family. My son adopted him a year ago in Virginia, and he just came to live with us last month. When Bobby found him, Duke was malnourished, sick, and severely underweight. With the help of a family friend, who also happens to be a veterinarian assistant, Duke got the care he needed, and now he is healthy and happy.
Duke loves to shadow me around the house. I don’t allow him in the studio because there isn’t enough room in there for the two of us, but he is right by my side in the living room and kitchen.
Duke did not go with me to the art show, but Bobby stopped by for a visit, and I asked him to take a photo of my display, with me in it. Naturally, I had to hold Duke so Bobby could hold the camera.

This week I am responding to the photo challenge, Dogs of Blogs, hosted by Jessica of Sorting Life’s Issues with Jess. She has chosen a dog theme for the month of March to celebrate the birthday of her dog Oreo. I do hope you’ll hop over to her page and take a look. Her photos are absolutely adorable.
I discovered Jessica, her blog, and her challenge, on Cee Neuner’s list of challenges, so I wish to give her credit as well. Thanks, Cee, for this wonderful directory you’ve created: “For the Love of Challenges.” For the record, Cee’s directory lists not only photo challenges, but also writing and music challenges as well, and they are grouped by category. It’s very well organized.

Tomorrow I’ll give you more details about the show.

It was my pleasure. I’m so glad to help celebrate Oreo’s birthday month, especially since March is also the month that Bobby found Duke.

March is almost over. I do have a few more photos of him, but not a lot of time to post. I’ve been sick and still trying to get back on my feet. Duke is a good friend. He seems to sense when I don’t feel well. 🙂

Duke is so lucky to have your family take care of him! Thank you so much for taking in a dog that was not so healthy and making him healthy again.

It was my son’s doing. Not that I wouldn’t have, but I can’t take the credit. Bobby has a big heart for both animals and people in need.

I can not attach the picture of my late, great St. Bernard Brinks. He was a special member of our family. A great big puppy – who will live in our hearts forever! Love your piano apron!

I’m sorry for your loss. I’ll bet he was loved by everyone.
Thank you for your comment about the apron. I just found it on eBay. I like it too. 🙂 Someday it will have my logo on it.
