 
Hello to all my friends at Keysborough. I arrived at my new home safely yesterday. Found the trip quite long and a bit distressing but I've been here one whole day now. I have really settled in well and my new family loves me already. I am particularly fond of Rob but I see that I don't have to cry if he leaves me for a while. He is always going to come back to me. (He says I get the award for the 'being glad to see you' tailwag.)
I am getting plenty of exercise. It's a long walk even to the shed and I've been up and down the back stairs so often I think I must have lost a kilo by now. I will send a photo in a couple of weeks when I am a little trimmer. Until then, keep up the good work. There is a human out there who needs each of us. Love to you all...Duke
A Duke update!
Well here is my Christmas note to all my friends at Keysborough. I am sending you a couple of pictures too. I have lost some more weight, my coat has a gloss to it, and I run around quite a bit. The rest of the time I spend on the verandah resting and watching the clouds go by. My favourite time is in the mornings, I think, when I help prepare the horses' feed. I absolutely adore water and, since we had a lot of rain recently, have had a great time laying in puddles to drink. I sometimes amuse myself by going into the shed and then surprising everyone by dragging out a boot or a glove that I have found. My new family thinks I'm clever because I walk very nicely on a lead (even when they took me into town to the vet to have my nails clipped and to be weighed) and also because I know sit, drop, and roll over.
The last one really gets them and I love it when they rub my tummy. Even the vet says I'm a great dog and couldn't believe my family just drove down there and got me.I hope you all have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. Thank you for the love and care you gave when I was with you and may all my four-legged friends find a forever home too. Love from Duke
