Hello!  My name is Lil' Duke. My owner says I was named after a
University!   I love to take walks with my owner.  She likes to take long
walks and so do I.  I wish I had a yard so I could run and run.  I love
the outside!  My owner has to go to work so I'm home alone for a long
time.  I get bored sometimes so it would be nice to have another companion
in the house.  I don't go potty in the house but I haven't quiet figured
out how to tell my owner that I have to go.  I just know that she takes me
out after my breakfast, during my afternoon nap and then again after
dinner, so I just wait for her to come home.  I don't really like the
kennel.  It has bad memories for me.  I prefer a soft bed to sleep on.  I
like to be near my owner.  My owner is very busy and it seems like she is
constantly moving around!  I follow her to make sure she is okay - and
because I'm curious as to what she's always up to!  We go in the car a lot
too - and
 I love car rides.  I have to stay in the backseat, which is okay with
me.  But my favorite thing to do is sit on my owner's lap and take a
nap.  There is another human in the house that I'm not really sure
about and he makes me uncomfortable.  He smells different then my owner,
and he sounds different then my owner.  I don't understand him at all.  I
don't like spontaneous movements or loud noises!  My owner calls him son
and she loves him very much, but son makes me very, very nervous. 



Lil' Duke is a great dog!  He's an older dog so he would be better in a
home without children.  He gets very agitated when my son is around.  When
Lil' Duke and I are home alone he is the best dog - very loving and
loyal.  Lil' Duke has a lot of gratitude in his heart and he will show you
everyday how much he appreciates you.  He really likes to nap but his
curiosity does get the best of him sometimes.  He's home alone a lot
during the day and I think he really would do well with some
companionship, whether that's in human form or animal form.  He also loves
to go for walks and rides in the car.  He walks good on the leash but if
you come upon a squirrel - hold on!!  Lil' Duke really is a very good dog
and would make a great companion.  He has some things he needs to get used
to and some training that needs to be done, but for the most part he's got
the basics down.  He knows how to "come" and "sit" and he's good with
other dogs and people.
