-------------Clancy----------------------Duke

My cousin Duke is here again for a visit!

He is a German shepherd/Alaskan malamute husky mix, eleven years old, and a big old softy even though he pretends to be gruff with me sometimes.

He was born in northern Canada as a potential sled dog, but Dad's daughter adopted him, which is a good thing for us, and probably him, we like to think.

As soon as we got him today he was anxious to get out for a walk, as he remembers the off-leash fun of the Prescott-Russell Trail, shown here, and some of the tamer side trails we think he can handle.

We stayed out about an hour, which is max for him now, and took it easy most of the way, which means limited running and no ball playing, even for me. Still, he displays a genuine enthusiasm for adventure, and loped around like a much younger dog at times.

We'll probably have him for a few days, so a couple more photos should be upcoming.

Good boy, Duke!
