Duke’s limp was from the cut paw pad and has healed.  I’m keeping the name because it seems he has had it for most of his life, the owner from Kennewick,  and because I say it sooooo much that he and I are both imprinted.  “Duke stopped that!” 

The only serious issue we have is his attitude with most of the cats.   The two 15 year olds do fine with him, they are tough little guys, but his gets really aggressive with the others.  He has them so scared that they won’t come out of the kitty part of the house.  We are working on it and he starts basic training January 4.

Mercy and him love playing together and they both!!! sleep on my bed next to me and each other and the two cats!
