My old friend Duke is having a very a rough day. He collapsed and couldn’t get up this morning. I rushed him to the veterinarian. His red blood cell count is 18% of normal. The vet referred him to a specialist who believes the problem is neurological. Duke is spending the night at the animal hospital and in the morning is going to have a CT/CAT scan. The link above is to a song I wrote in his honor a few years ago. Actually, I wrote the lyric. Kevin Harris wrote the music and sang the song. I thought it would be a good time to share it with those of you who’ve not heard it before. It’s my way of introducing him to you. I’ve listened to it a couple of times tonight and am thinking of my old friend and how he’s always been there for me. He lays at my feet when I work and when I sleep. I’ll miss him a lot when he’s gone. He is high on my list of blessings. My eyes aren’t seeing too clearly as I type this.
With Love,
Russ
