Duke's Day of Firsts

Duke had a day of firsts today. He started out the day going to the donut shop with me. While I ate my donut outside, he sat there watching everyone come and go. He would wag his tail, hoping someone would give him attention but no one did (probably because they were going in/out of a restaurant, not because he isn't cute!). After the donut stop I went to the carwash. Duke was not a big fan of that errand but he endured it. He only whined once, but then I turned up the country music and he mellowed out. He's definitely his dadddy's dog because country music always calms him down! After that we went to the lake for his first walk on a leash. I was REALLY impressed with how well he did, considering it was his first time. He did want to chase the ducks and licked every kid that walked within 2 feet of him, but he walked on his leash as if he'd been doing it forever. We had to keep stopping so he could check out the smells or watch people pass us so we didn't end up going for a very long walk. That's probably for the best because I am waddling so much today, people probably thought I was trying to imitate the ducks around the lake. Now that we're home, Duke is crashed out under our bed (a place Roxy always slept). Knowing him, he'll probably be there until his daddy gets home from work. Since the dogs are sleeping and the household chores are caught up for the most part, I think I will take a nap myself. With the contractions I've been having the past day or so, I get worn out pretty fast. So a nice nap is in store for me this afternoon. G'Night y'all!!
