Tucker

 My memories of Tucker

- a skinny mess

-lived life on a chain

-ruined a brand new purse

-sniffed out treats in a coat pocket behind a closed closed door

-turned into the Tasmanian devil when in a crate

-used to watch me drive to work every morning.

-loved to run on trails

-loved Louie, Sounder. He never met a dog he didn't like. 

-loved rolling on my bed while yipping loudly, mess up the blanket

-never left my side when I was sick

-loudly enjoyed certain foods

-always been a moaner

-loved the snow

-would chase deer out the back door but always return home

-loved farm life

-went to two walk abouts with Maggie, crossing the highway on their way north

-loved to swim Lake Whatcom

-always managed to get other dogs at the dog park to chase him

-went swimming after canada geese on lake whatcom once. I didn't think he'd ever come back.

-threw my back out once when I was prepping to walk him. Had to call Susan to walk him. 

-loved Fran, Susan and Ann. 

-made the funniest whimpering noises when playing with a squeak toy

My constant companion through it all. I'm so thankful you came into my life. There will never be another Tucker. 

You can run free now, Tucker. Open fields, geese and lakes as far as the eye can see. Maggie, Jack and Bonnie are there to kep you company. 

I love you. Always.
