Tucker & Me

Last night I saw the movie Marley & Me. I highly recommend it! While I was watching the movie I couldn't stop thinking about our dog Tucker. Tucker was equally as bad a Marley as a pup. He would destroy the house while we were at work. He ate my Halloween costume one year, ironically it was cat ears and a tail. He made me chase him 10 blocks, on one of the hottest & most humid days in Philly, through city streets filled with people and cars, when I was 7 months pregnant, as he bolted toward our apartment. He has had so many trips to the ER because of stomach problems, he's cost more to keep running than our car (seriously!). He has destroyed important things, including Marty's orthotics- Martin couldn't run for months. BUT... We love this dog! Tucker has NEVER snapped, growled or bitten a child or an adult. He loves to play ball and always indulges Jack in a game of chase. Tucker has a big scary bark and makes us feel safe when Marty is traveling. He gets sad when we argue and leaves the room (usually to hide in the down stairs closet), reminding us that we are being ridiculous anyway.

Here are some old Tucker pictures and new Tucker pictures. The video is from this year. Tucker was in the Christmas spirit and helped us all unwrap presents.
