Even though every day at my house is Dog Day, I figured I hadn’t posted a picture of Duncan in a while. Here he is, the Devil!
Damn! You caught me looking at the camera!!!

Tell me, Elyse, does that no-too-pleased look on his face have anything to do with this election cycle? The Donald doesn’t strike me as a dog person…

No, I don’t think it was Donald-specific. I think we told him that he’s a dog and therefore not allowed on the couch.

Weren’t couches designed as upscale dog beds? I’m pretty sure they were according to Fozzie (who is napping on his upscale dog bed)!

He looks older than the last pic I saw. A lot older. Whose hand is that?

That’s my husband’s hand. And yeah, Duncs has grown up. In theory he is a grown up — he’s 2-1/2.

I love the name! The next town over from us is Duncan and that name was in the lineup for our next dog’s name. Hubby came from San Francisco, so Frisco won. Hims looks dignified 🙂

He’s named after the king in MacBeth who was stabbed by MacBeth. We were pretty sure we would want to do the same during puppyhood. This Duncan survived.
The dog in your recent post is a Berner, i’m assuming. We had one who was gorgeous, but just didn’t care about us at all. His loss …

Only people in the know say “Berners”. Most say Burmese! Ours is a pigdog. I have never been around a messier creature.

We actually moved our Berner, Charlie, to Switzerland. People STILL asked, in the country of his origin, if he was a St Bernard.
Our house had white carpeting. When Charlie got up from a nap, it looked like a crime scene. He was wonderful with my son (aged 1-6 when Charlie died at age 5-1/2) though. He therefore earned his kibble.
That’s a rather large pig you have though.
