Saith Duke
'Woke early today, at midday, then had a whole roast lamb. Took a short nap by the fireside before munching on some Country Dog.'
'Named Basset Hound Land's most stoutly dog for three consecutive years. I don't know how I do it.'
'It's not in the least surprising that Duke and Michel's fan page has so many likes. After all, I am in it.'
'Went for a stroll today. Made it to the pantry and back.'
'Another day by the fireside, toasting my rump. Bliss.'
'When I'm not dreaming of food, I dream of dreaming of food.'
'All chihuahuas must be eliminated.'
'I’m a stately dog of the purest breeding with exceptional social etiquette.'
'Anybody that says ‘achtung’ cannot be completely compos mentis.'
'I’d use nuclear missiles, myself.'
'One should always carry two chocolate bars. Never know when you might meet a very hungry Basset Hound.'
'Deeply disturbed by all this sharing of love. It's bordering on hippyism!'
'Morning exercise completed. Getting to my paws then returning to nap mode.'
'Michel's smell travels at twice the speed of sound.'
'Broke my own world record today. I yawned for one hour!'
'So much food, so little time.'
'If life was like a box of chocolates, life would've been finished before lunch.'
'Feeling refreshed now after my 24 hour power nap.'
'Inventing a new meal to go between brunch and lunch. I'm calling it 'blunch'.'
'Having such a powerful nose is not good when you're around such smelly creatures such as Michel and his foul cousin, Romain.'
'At the moment, I'm fasting. The moment's now over.'
'I came across a new word today. 'Diet'. Still haven't fathomed it out.'
'My brothers are heavyset Basset Hounds with as much energy as a three-toed sloth, so I fail to see how they could be of any use.'

Roast Lamb à la Duke
One whole lamb
A barrel of chopped rosemary
A bottle of olive oil
Sea salt
Crushed black pepper
10 cloves of garlic
Mix the olive oil with the rosemary and garlic. Season the luscious lamb with the salt and pepper before smothering it with the rosemary, garlic and olive oil mixture. Thrust a spit through it and roast it over an open fire until it's juicy, rare and succulent. Devine!
