My Dukes

For all you dog lovers, you must see Marley and Me if you haven't already. The movie was funny at times and I would say that overall it is an OK movie, but if you ever had a beloved pooch it is a stroll down memory lane with a tear jerker ending. It reminded me so much of my childhood Duke and my adult Duke. It gives me faith at some point Dave will like our Tucker and Jackson. Well maybe I am reaching on that one, but I do know that Madison loves them and they will have an enormous impact upon her life.

Watching this movie reminded me of how my life was touched by my childhood Duke. He would let me ride on him, paint his toes, play dress up and walk me to and from the bus stop. I hope Madi reflects upon her childhood years and thinks how fortunate she was and how great it was to have had these two in her life. I hope she reminisces about how she chased Tucker around and just outright tormented Jackson between hugs, kisses, kicks, pulls, and stomps with more adventures to come.

It also dredged up the sad feelings of the loss of my Dukes. I was fortunate to have both of them in my life. My adult Duke was literally my first baby and I miss him so much. I will never forget the joy he brought to our lives along with the pain of losing him so young. So as you can tell this movie really touched me. I enjoyed my stroll down memory lane. Enjoy heaven Dukes!!!
