When you saw the title, you probably thought I was obsessing over what bedskirt to buy. I wish it were this simple. It's not me with the bedskirt obsession, it's Tucker. It started about three weeks ago. I found him in my room with his face ...
Tucker
...
Give him a pile of dirt…
He's gonna' dig! We had five yards of raised bed potting mix delivered for our new garden boxes. We managed to keep Tucker out of it for a couple of days. But he wanted it. He wanted it bad. On the second ...
Tucker’s First Swim
We aren't sure if Tucker has been swimming before he came to live with us but he is afraid of the water a bit. He gets a little nervous before a bath but settles in once he's in the tub and seems to enjoy it. He especially likes getting the shampoo ...
Tucker’s Chicks
Having a dog around chickens has always been a worry for me, and reasonable I believe. When I adopted Tucker I knew I would have to be vigilant in keeping him away from the chickens. So far we have had no problems. The most recent hatch of olive ...
Come to Mama!
When Michael takes Tucker for a walk, he lets him off the leash at the bottom of the driveway and he gets to run home. It is his favorite part of the day. ...
It was a good day to be a dog.
Tucker got to ride on the Polaris with Michael this morning. This afternoon he got to go for a car ride and hike down to the Bear River. On the way home, he got to get a burger at the In-N-Out drive thru. Yep. It was a good day to be a little ...
Riding Shotgun
Tucker loves riding in cars, on my scooter and in the Polaris. That boy will ride anything. We have to sneak out of the house if we can't take him with us. I am a softy so if I can't take him with me, I take him for a ride around the block when I get ...
Dog Day
Tucker loves to be out on the porch with Michael watching the cars go by. This morning I found them just sitting and enjoying each other's company. We are working with Tucker being outside without a leash. He is fine until he sees a lizard or a ...
He’s an odd little duck (video)
Our beloved Tucker is indeed an odd little duck. Some of the things he does are quite amusing. On Easter he was the lucky recipient of a prime rib bone. He enjoyed it for a while then decided to hide it for another day. He looked around for the most ...
Tucker and Paw Paw
Tucker went to visit my parents for the first time yesterday. I wanted them to admit that my dog is cuter than my sister's dog but they wouldn't commit. I knew what they were thinking though. Tucker enjoyed meeting them and playing with his new Paw ...
When Rodney Met Tucker
It is funny when dogs meet for the first time with all the sniffing and circling. It was no different for Rodney and Tucker when they first met a few days ago. ...
Don’t Blow in Tucker’s Face
We have had Tucker for a little over two weeks. We learn something new about him every day and suspect we have only scratched the surface. He is a very smart boy for sure. Michael was playing with him last night and blew a puff of air in Tucker's ...
The Gopher Hunt (video)
Tucker is fascinated with the hill beside our driveway. Every morning there are dozens of new gopher holes that were made during the night. Today I let him go out up there on a lead line and he hunted gophers until he fell asleep in a sunny spot. He ...
It’s like adopting a toddler.
It's been ten days since I succumbed to the voices in my head and adopted Tucker, a two year old terrier mix. Michael said at the time that life as we know it, would never be the same. Truer words were never spoken. I watch a lot of ...
Tucker. He had me at “hello.”
When my children were living at home we always seemed to have a dog. I have not had a dog since my separation from my first husband almost eighteen years ago. Since I started raising chickens, I have had a real dislike of dogs. Every place we have ...
