Oh Duke, although I haven't written you are still thought of often.  I still wish that you were here.  A lot has changed.  Your Dad and Brit got married, bought a house, eighty came up to stay with Grandpa and I for a few months.  Guess what else, you would've loved it, they also had a baby, Jaxen.  We all have said how cute you wouldve been with him.  Auntie Kyra is away at college in Klamath Falls.  Last time I wrote you I told you about Ruby being sick and starting insulin injections, you will never believe it, but she did get used to them!  She will be coming to you on Saturday though.  It has been over 2 years which is really good, but it is time for us to let her go, knowing that you'll be waiting does make it a little easier.  I love you Dukey Dog, please take good care of Ruby.  Thank you baby.
