In Loving Memory of Duke
“Sunsets Duke of Chocolate”
November 24, 2014 – December 11, 2025

Duke was born “Sunsets Duke of Chocolate” on November 24, 2014. He was bred for breeding and faithfully fulfilled that role until his owner passed away. Duke’s true life, however, didn’t begin until he was five years old—when he finally learned what love, affection, and trust felt like.

Duke and Katy both struck gold when they met the Berry family. Linda and Lenny gave them a home filled with warmth, safety, and unconditional love. It was a place where bunnies were chased for fun, kitties were snuggled with affection, and joyful dances happened every time Mom or Dad walked through the door. For Duke, this was everything he had waited for.

On Wednesday afternoon, December 11, 2025, Duke was reunited with Katy at the Rainbow Bridge. He was surrounded by love, and his final vision was of his devoted adopters, Linda and Lenny—the people who showed him what family truly means.

Run free, sweet Duke. You were deeply loved, and you always will be.

The first photo shared is the very first picture I received of Duke. The last photo was taken just one night before he left us. Every photo in between tells the story of Duke and Katy, truly living their dash.

Meet Charlie (on the left), and Daisy (on the right).
Daisy was used for breeding, most likely for most of her life, Charlie is one of her offspring.
She is around 6, he is 1-2.
The pair was dumped off at a remote ranch when efforts to give them away at a gas station failed.
They’re bonded, Charlie is a bit codependent on mama.
They had a thorough vet check this week and were spayed and neutered. Both checked out healthy as can be.
As stated, bonded pair (which means we won’t separate) will be ready to meet potential adopters next week after they’ve had time to recover from their surgeries.
Their personalities are very sweet and they are very social.
Accepting applications now.

This girl has done the work!
She has reached a turning point; she heels, she sits, she lays down, she loves walks, she plays well with dogs, and… she seeks affection.
Consider inviting Charity into your heart. She’s so deserving.
