December 2006: The photo on the front of the card was taken at work. The residents just loved the hat and Duke didn't mind, he is such a wonderful dog he just goes with the flow. We love him very much, not to mention his extended family at the nursing home . . . if for some reason he doesn't come I'm asked where he is and when he is coming in! There are about 5 of the residents and 3 of the staff who make sure they have treats for him. I wish you could see him in action, he just sucks up the attention and the residents just beam when they see him. It is so great. A lot of them have had animals all their lives and now they can't so I tell them I will share Duke with them . . . People tell me all the time how lucky I was to have found Duke and I tell them it really wasn't luck it has to do with finding a true animal rescue person who is in it for the best interest of the animal not just to move them out the door . . . Thank you and have a Very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year! — Tammy and Duke
