There simply can never be another person, two or four legged, that walked this earth quite like the Duke of Rockville. He lived large. He took the biggest bites out of life he could. He went through each day loving every minute, as if it were his last. Sadly, the last minute did come one day. His years of life were from 2002-2014. I’ve heard it said that the dash between the years represents one’s life. So what is a dash? It can be defined as “to run or travel somewhere in a great hurry, an act of running somewhere suddenly and hastily, A journey or period of time characterized by urgency or eager haste, a small amount of a particular quality adding piquancy or distinctiveness to something else, impetuous or flamboyant vigor and confidence; panache.” I would agree that the dash represents Duke’s life, to a degree. In the weeks and months to come, I will share his story.
