Heyduke is wonderful!

Our Heyduke is wonderful. Every day he does something to make us laugh, shows us love, and keeps us entertained. He weighs between 43-44 lbs - Dr Sammons said between 40 and 45 was a good weight on him so hopefully during the winter he won't put on much weight. Heyduke and I (Joan) try to walk 2 to 3 miles a day (of course during the bad weather we miss our walks and we get so bored which means extra play time in the house together). On the pretty days, I open the door for him and he goes in and out all day (he usually goes out and then comes in to check and make sure one his parents is in the house and then goes back out). We have alot of squirrels and he'll spend all day watching them play and chasing them out of the yard. He enjoys riding in the car, especially if he thinks we are going to the park. We took him to the pet store the other day and one of the trainers started petting him and giving him commands and our Heyduke responded to every one and made us so proud! He
eats well - he licks his bowl clean at each meal and then comes to get us so we can praise him for doing such a wonderful job! All in all, he was indeed the perfect dog for us and we love him dearly.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Joan (and Danny)
