Our sweet Ducky boy was larger than life, in more ways than one. He had been by our side for nearly 8 years, providing nothing but love, comfort, snuggles, laughs, and a lifetime of amazing memories. He grew up alongside our 2 girls, Molly and Maple. He loved to gallop around the yard with them and lay around while they played. He was always willing to let them climb all over him, and would even buck them off and send them flying every once in a while. As they grew older, he was the first to greet them when they came home, and always made room on HIS couch for a snuggle. Ducky also served as protector and guide for his fur siblings. His big pug brother Chuck would follow in his footsteps whenever it was time to go anywhere, and his goofy little Golden sister Ruby would hop around him outside while he lay on the grass, weighing the anchor. Those two loved him so much and miss him like crazy. He was the best "fighter" when he played with his Dad, and always lent a paw when they would go outside to do the chores. Sunbathing while Daddy mowed the lawn was a special Ducky talent, and he was the best at it. What Ducky meant to me, his Mama is too much to put into words. He was my boy, and he had my heart. I'm not sure if he knew how much I needed him, but man, I needed him. I miss him sitting on my lap(yes, he was a 215lb lap dog), or squishing onto the couch next to me. I'll miss him pawing at me to keep scratching his ears in the middle of the night and boofing at me to keep rubbing his belly. He was the best, and we are so thankful for the time we had with him. We know he is looking down on us now and still protecting us in a special way. Ducky, we hope you're up there laying in the sun, eating all the string cheese you want, and getting so much love from family and friends who have gone before you. Thank you for being our big boy. We will always love you, sweet Ducky. Ducky Larsen - July 18th 2016 - January 3rd 2025
