So ever since we had our son Mason, Tucker has become somewhat obsessed with licking Mason's face. And hands. And toes. And whatever else he can land his tongue on. It's a bit of an annoyance and we mind, but then again, we know that it's a lost cause to try to get him to completely leave Mason alone. He's his height, for pete's sake, what else should we expect, right?
So quite often, you hear shouts and hollers coming from our home. "Tucker, stop!" "Tucker, quit licking his face!" "Tucker, knock it off!" Then comes the stomp, stomp, stomp to the scene of the crime with a "Tucker, I swear! Stop! That's enough!"
And what does Tucker do during all this commotion where his name is being repeated 50 THOUSAND times? Keeps licking...and licking...and licking. And, "ooo, one more for the road, sluurp."
His love knows no bounds...

Tucker's Introduction
This site is dedicated solely to our sweet Tucker boy. I thought that he needed his own blog because there are just so many stories from him alone that, well, he just needs his own space.
He's our first "born." He's a little crazy, but always sweet and fun-lovin'. He has adjusted pretty well to his baby brother, Mason. He likes to lick his face...a lot. Mason doesn't mind too much, but he does get a little overwhelmed at times. Tucker has that effect.
Tucker loves to chew on "bone-bones"(even though they give him an upset tummy sometimes) and he loves him some walks and some tug-of-war with his "rope-rope." He knows a few tricks. We started him early with a puppy training class and then the next intermediate class where we built on some of the basics. He can sit, stay, lie down, shake, and crawl. He's pretty smart, too. He knows where to go when you say "go to pen." I thought that was pretty good, until one day I spelled it out and he went there and sat. So to test him I said, "Tucker, go to p-e-n." And he went over to his "pen" (which now consists of a big pillow bed) and just sat there waiting for his treat! He also knows what we're doing when we say the word "walk" and "park" and "potty." All those things mean he gets to go outside and he gets VERY excited. So when we really aren't going outside, we have to spell those words out. He also does something cool that I unintentionally taught him, but is actually pretty nice. Whenever it's raining or snowing outside, he's so low to the ground that his little paws and most of his legs and belly get drenched. So, I started saying, "let's go wipe your feet" everytime we'd come in from the wetness. And we'd proceed directly to our laundry room where I would then scoop him up on top of the drier and get a towel and dry off his paws and whatever else was soaked. We kept doing that and doing that and I guess it stuck because now, all I have to say is "go wipe your feet" and I can let him off his leash and he goes directly to the laundry room door and sits and waits for me. Then, when we go in, he sits down at the drier and sometimes even puts up his little front paw so I can pick him up to get dried off. He likes it, I think.
So, that's a little bit about Tucker. I'll be posting some more crazy stories and adventures more as they come and just some pics and other Tuckerisms. We hope you enjoy!
