Lucy is such an angel.

Until she sees Duke being mischievous. Then she considers joining the mayhem.

Here are some examples of Duke’s mischief:

* Eating his water bowls.
* Chasing the cats.
* Chewing up volleyballs.
* How can a dog get his jaws around a volleyball? Duke has figured it out.
* Looking cute and adorable.
* I know that’s not technically mischief, but it sure allows him to get away with a lot.

Stay with me, Lucy! Don’t cross over to the dark side.

I mean the Duke side.

Speak of the devil…there’s ol’ Dukie himself!

“Love me, Mom! Love me! Please?”

Consider it done, Duke.

It’s so fun having labs around. After living the Basset Hound life for so many years, I forgot just how darned exciting life with dogs can be! Haha.

And how licky it can be. They are such lickers! They lick a lot. They love and like to lick.

Charlie and Walter don’t lick! Have I ever told you this? I can have my face right up next to theirs and they just sit there and look at me.

I get my face within three feed of Duke and Lucy, and their tongues kick into high gear.

Even though one of them is a little bit of a devil…they’re both such angels. We’re loving them a lot, and even though the Bassets like to act like they’re unaffected, they’re learning to appreciate them, too!

Aw, Duke. You’re such a lovable polar bear.

Well, that’s the end of that conversation.
