Well, pardner here’s what’s happening! As I told you I was named after my favorite cowboy movie star – the big fellow, the one nobody gets the best of, the one the ladies like! When I mosied into town I was hankering to find a new home and – wow – my head is still spinning because I found my new folks faster than you can say jack rabbit! Yes siree, a pair of homesteaders snatched me right out of my boots and took me home to their bunkhouse and as luck would have it they are super, star members of the Golden Hearts club because I am number 17 of all the senior cowpokes they have adopted! Can’t beat that! Now I have all the vittles I want and my canteen is never empty. I am going to spend my days with my feet propped up watching the sunset. Am I going to learn to ride a horse? As my namesake says, “That’ll be the day”! Happy trails to you from “The Duke”
