Presenting Duke's Succesor, Duchess!

[marcusorelius]

Drove down to Buckeye Az last nite to pick up a 2 year old toy fox terrier. She hopefully will make a good rider, these guys were breed to ride in a saddlebag on a horse on hunting trips. Got her from a non-profit rescue org, she was to be executed 5 days ago, so now she's gonna be ride'n an FJR instead! ( I hope)

Duchess is lucky to have such a devoted owner.

I still miss reading of Duke's adventures.

I an sure that Duchess will be a great co-rider.

Best regards

Surly

Hope she turns out to be as good a traveling companion as Duke was. I'll be waiting for pics and ride reports.

Finding a rescue dog,good on you Mark. I doubt you will have any rodents near the bike as those Terrier's are good hunters.

Great name choice.

 

[dcarver]

Congrats, and kudos for giving her a home, and a place in your heart. I knew you wouldn't stay dog-less for long! Dogs are so cool, and they give so much to us.

I adopted this guy about six weeks ago, after losing my Sam to bone cancer:

His name is Zepplin, and he's a bit too large to ride in the saddlebag -- so he's jealous of Duchess! He says to give her a hello, 'Woof!', and a big doggy kiss!

Saving an animal like that is very cool. Hope y'all have many enjoyable rides. Looking forward to the ride reports.

Marcus, you're an awesome guy. Duchess went from the brink of death to preparing to have one of the best adventures any dog alive could hope for.

Can't wait to meet her!!

There is excitement in the air.

Just change the words to, "Wanna go for a ride?" and watch the show....

Congratulations Marcus!!

She is very lucky and beautiful,and i want to believe that she will be a very good companion in your journeys

Took her on her first FJR ride! Up to the local mtn lodge for lunch (40 miles total) She did GREAT!

And being smaller than duke she's able to duck down into the bag and lay on the cushion when she's had enough, poor duke couldn't do that but he was a trooper still!
