So long old pal...
My trusty Scottish Sidekick, Duncan MacDougal IV, passed away overnight. He was 14 years old and was with me through thick and thin. He travelled to Tucson, dealt with the desert heat, and travelled back home to Kentucky to brave the cold winters. Duncan could windsurf better than any dog I ever saw and gave the best "puppy dust" naps with a good heavy *sigh* and full body *plop*. He kept me sane during the worst time of my life, and showed me that if I would just throw the damn frisbee, he'd catch it, and everything would be ok. Thanks for everything Buddy. We'll miss you terribly.

I am so bummed. I had no idea Ducan was so annually advanced. What a cool dude. I miss him!
Sharon has a great story about riding all the way to Chicago with him on her her lap and his bung-hole on her forearm. Basically, he was sittin' up front and that is all there was to it.
Sorry, Dude. My heart goes out to you!

So sorry Nikoli. We lost Miss Annie a few weeks back and I cried like a flippin' baby. I very much still feel that deep hurt and know what you are going through.
But 14 years is a long time and I am certain that everyday with you was his favorite. Dogs are awesome like that.
Who knows? Maybe he has Miss Annie backed into a corner while she hisses and he barks at her up there in that great gig in the sky.

Concretin salute to Duncan!

Thanks everyone. You guys rock. He will be sorely missed everyday. Another of the great Highlander Clan will join us eventually (once Indy is a bit older me thinks)...

Damn . . . sorry to hear about Duncan Nik. It certainly sucks losing a great friend.
That's awesome that he could windsurf! Hey, right now he's probably windsurfing while boning some bitch and lapping up some brew!!! Rock on Duncan.
