Thanks Diane.  It was the obvious thing for us to do, and  the right thing 
to do. We are looking forward to TRY and live to Duke's  standards of 
living, his family gave him an amazing life. We have spent the day  thinking 
about 
him, his mom, our Captiva, his dad, TJ, and his brother Beefers,  who lived 
with us to their last days. It will be nice to have him home.  He  is safe 
while we arrange for his trip, and it seems the entire family is taking  
time to say their good byes.  They have shared that if they could arrange  for 
a dog sitter/walker they would all pitch in to help and keep him, as  
Jennifer doesn't want to lose this contact with her mom and dad, and we offered 
 
to help with that too.  
 
In the end, it is wonderful that everyone is looking to do what is best for 
 Duke.  Priceless.....

For over  10 years we have   exchanged Christmas cards, emails, phone calls 
and  general  pleasantries with a  gentleman who purchased a puppy from us  
that  
long ago.  

A few years back his wife and   adult daughter  were in a car crash, the 
wife 
died and his  daughter became  severely  handicapped.  I remember that 
years  
Christmas card and how sad  it  was to read about his loss, but  then he 
went 
on to share how Duke  (who was a  mama's boy)  became his best friend and 
how 
they grieved  together,  all  the  while he was hoping to be the owner the 
dog   
deserved.

Last nite I received a call,  this nice guy  passed  away on Wednesday.  
Needless to say, the daughter  is  not  equipped to care for Duke.  So Duke 
is 
coming  home to spend the rest  of  his life with us. I am glad that they  
reached 
out to us, and we  are excited  to have the old guy  home. He was always a 
very  easygoing, calm pup, and it  appears  he still is.

Maybe he can  teach manners to  his new  house   mates.....<G>
