I am Duncan MacDougall of the clan MacDougall.

About Me

Duncan passed away on August 25, 2008. He lived a long, interesting life. The first years remain a mystery, but we know that his last 7 years of life were pretty darn good. We leave his site here to remind us that it's never too late to start a new life... even for an old dog!


I'm just a laid back party animal that loves to chill with the ladies. I'm not sure what breed I am... part black lab? part Newfoundland? My mom says I'm a "LAP Retriever", (not a "lab retriever") because if there's a lap around, I sit right in it! When I was adopted, my parents quickly diagnosed me with "H.H.S." or "Heavy Head Syndrome"... I always have to put my head down on someone's lap or somewhere. Sometimes my whole body gets so heavy that I collapse right into the nearest lap. I was adopted late in life... to hear more of my story, check out my blogs.

Back in Black!

Like my immortal namesakes (Duncan MacLoed the Highlander & Duncan Idaho of the sci-fi Dune novels), I have made a miraculous comeback! My mom says she was really worried.  And I did feel rea...

You take the high road...

... and I’ll take the low road.  And I’ll be in Scotland before ye. The lump in my chest has really grown and gotten hard.   I’m having a little trouble breathing.&nbs...

Tusc. County Dog Lisence Fees Going Up...

... and my mom says I'm worth every penny!  It used to be just $10 per dog... now it's $12 per dog.   So, with 5 of us "canine kids" in the family, my mom goes from shelling out $5...

Mother's Day

Incase you didn't know, I'm adopted. The early years of my life remain a mystery to my current family... I was adopted later in life (for the scoop, read my earlier blogs).  But I think I've...

Black Dog Mojo

There's just something about me that the humans love.  And it's not just me. Everywhere I go, people will stop me and they all have a similar story to tell.  It seems that most people, at so...

Can dogs file for sexual harassment?

I'm not sure what the legal rights are for dogs in America, but I wonder... can a dog file a sexual harassment lawsuit?  My sister Ripley has been driving me crazy lately... and not in a good way...

My Ol' Uncle Black Dog

A few years back, my adopted grandma sent us a series of articles from her local newspaper in Virginia about an elusive black dog that had won the hearts of the community.  The humans who knew hi...
