Dude (in the front) and his mentor the late great Rusty
Let us introduce you to DUDE. There are many good things in life! DUDE is definitely one of those good things. He lives at Morningwood with Claudia, Tom and the girls. Morningwood is a little bit of heaven located near Oakwood, about 30 miles from the farm. We visit from time to time to enjoy the friendship, music, conversation and fun that abounds at the wooded estate.
Upon arrival at Morningwood DUDE is always right there to give his warm and wiggly greeting. In return, scratches and belly rubs are in order to show our appreciation for his lively welcome.

DUDE is a Cockerpoo who was taught the ways of dogdom by the late, great Rusty. This is a picture of DUDE as a puppy with Rusty.
DUDE loves olives and having king time with his adopted father Tom. One of his many joys is to chase squirrels and birds, and he even went for a fox the other day! He loves having company over but prefers to be an only dog.

He enjoys the goat girls, Sadie & Daisy, as long as they stay outside...because he is the prince of the house!

Tom has his recording studio nestled among the trees with the river flowing below the cliffs. DUDE loves spending time listening to the music that flows around the cabin, watching the sunlight filter through the trees and the red glow of the sunset in the evening.
He is very lucky to have his adopted Mom Claudia. She is very special and has given all these pictures to (me) Kathy. She is very talented and is an award winning photographer, loved and cherished by DUDE and Tom.
Tom produced Bob’s CD with DUDE standing by giving Bob encouragement and looks of praise. His mission in life is to get Bob to love him, and we have witnessed Bob starting to crack under the pressure of those pitiful looks DUDE gives him.
