BENTLEY & DUNCAN

The Dogs of The Barkery Bistro

 

 

My name is Bentley Bogart Ludwig (nicknamed Bzzers, Basil, Mr. B, and Prince) and I was born on July 28th, 2004 in Shelbyville, TN.  I was famous from the time my Mom, Meghan, picked me up as I used to prance around the halls of the Ruth’s Chris Home Office while my Mom showed me off to her fellow co-workers.  My disposition has always been one of sweet-nature and wanting to please.  My hobbies include eating my “vittles and crunchies” twice daily (as we call them), playing with my brother Duncan (AKA Duncee),  but my passion mostly lies at Grandpa Rick’s lake house where I am an avid swimmer and enjoy retrieving the balls by launching myself off the dock by gaining a running start. 

I very much enjoyed a life of being “top dog” (which of course I  know I still am) until July 1st 2006, when my Mom picked up what was planned to be named “Winston”, after the great Winston Churchill.

We picked up Winston on July 1st 2006 (also born in Shelbyville, TN).  With me, being the stud that I am, we planned on the new addition to be Bentley #2.  It was five minutes into meeting little or shall we say big, Winston, did we know this name was not going to stick.  Winston, now Duncan, was so cute and full of energy but he was also the fattest little fur ball from apparently stealing all of his sister’s food. 

We drove him to our vacation spot for the holiday weekend and as a result from eating so much that morning, he got car sick the whole 4-hour drive.  Over the next four days, we quickly learned, Winston would become Duncan from his eating habits and other various unwanted behaviors.

Now Duncan is two and goes by Duncee (pronounced Dunky) and we are the best of friends.  We are complete opposites and while I am still a Prince, Duncan still regularly tries to steal my breakfast, while I politely back away. Duncan enjoys his barks and growls on our walks at the same dogs daily and nightly, while I continue to prance down the sidewalk smiling.  Other than eating, which is his top priority, Duncan’s hobbies include also playing with me as well as swimming and riding the wave runner at Grandpa Rick’s.

Both of us enjoy our daily jobs at The Barkery Bistro where we greet people with smiles and an occasional bark at the front of the store.
