Congrats on your new buddy!

He's a cutie. Funny you have two Dukes in the family.

My brother adopted a *Lucky*, and said sorry, as we used to have a dog by that name (who was part chow), but he felt his dog was too old to deal with a name change. That was okay with me. He did, however change the spelling - to Luckie. LOL like the dog knows.

My dogs know him as Cousin Luckie. Which is even sillier I guess.

BTW, our chow was very serious about protecting our littlest, who was a baby when we got the dog. He was really laid back except when it came to dd. You dared not let anything happen to that kid on his watch. He was like Lassie with her.

He'd get between her and a rose bush, and pull her away from the stairs and such by her diaper. Too cute. If he thought I wasn't watching her close enough, he'd come bark at me, drag me closer to her.

She skinned her knee one time and I had to let him lick it before he'd let me bring her inside to put a band aid on her.
