Duke has had a couple of rough days.  He's had a lot of swelling and bruising following his trip to the vets.  The SHAK boys have all been wincing and crossing their legs when they've seen him.

awww! poor duke, give him a hug from me pls shaz! I bet he's been getting loads of sympathy from all the lads! How about the other two Mikka & Addy r they ok?

aaawwwww my big lad hope you are ok buddy try not to lick them cos they will get even worse dont worry bud they will get better (oh and im talking to duke by the way lol)

i do miss that wagging tail and goofy look on his face and the slobery kisses.

Hey Doug wants to know how his big lad Duke is doing?? Has the huge amount of swelling gone down yet??

A short training session with Duke yesterday after his walk.  We did some work on sit and stay, which is quite a challenge for him as he loves his treats and just can't wait when he's sees that you have something for him.  He did really well, and after only a few minutes he was waiting patiently while I walked away from him to the end of his run, and back to give him his reward.

well done Duke  

Another training session with Duke today to continue the good work he did at the weekend.  More sit stays (for chicken this time) and he did very well again - really paying attention and sitting nicely waiting for his reward.  We also had some time for a few cuddles! - he's a real big softy!

Well done Duke!
