Likes: Tucker loves going for hikes in the woods, mountain bike rides, playing with friends and snuggling in anyone's lap.
Pet-Peeves: When he isn't invited for mountain bike rides, mom leaving him behind.
Favorite Toy: That would have to be a brand-new rawhide bone or his sister, Bpui. But above all else, sticks.
Favorite Food: Whatever he can find!
Favorite Walk: Any set of paths through the woods where he can run off-lead.
Best Tricks: Running alongside mountain bikes, snuggling like a human baby, and catching even the most elusive bugs.
Arrival Story: It's a LONG story, but, for the sake of brevity...
Tucker and his sisters were brought to our local shelter from down south. They had been severly neglected (Left outside with no shelter or human contact- only food and water were provided.) and when I got to him he was quite skittish and afraid of most everything. Two of my friends went with me to meet the young pup (4 1/2 months) and we fell in love with him. I took him home the next day. It has been a great deal of work socializing him and helping him to learn the ways of the world, but it has been so worth it! He is now a very happy guy. I have made it my life's mission to provide him with the best life possible.
Bio: Tuckie is a very active, yet gentle and sweet guy. He has many interests, including mountain biking, running, playing with canine friends, chasing squirrels, and bug hunting. (Once, when Tucker's friend Lucas was feeding a lizard he spilled several live crickets in the house. Tucker chased, trapped, and ate every last one that roamed the house.)

The Last Forum I Posted In: FLAXSEED
It has been a bit of a tough end-of-spring/early summer for my momma, so we haven't been on the 'puter much of late. I wanted to write a message to all of my pals, but I figured a diary entry would have to do as I don't have time to go pawing around my account right now.
At any rate, here's the poop scoop:
After 8 years of teaching in her district, momma was laid off. They are having a gigantic budget crisis (understatement, indeed) and so she is now out of a job. She got really panicky at the end of the year and had bad pain for a few days- so bad that we couldn't go on walks with her! Anyway, it turns out she had a festering ulcer but was treated and all is good now.
After a week of recovery it was off to Thailand for she and my Luke. They went to see Bpui's motherland and meet with the folks who rescued my little fuzzy sister. They had a great time.
Oh! And they got engaged! Now we are no longer illegitimate doggers! I helped with the engagement, too! I was a big boy and carried the ring into the living room where momma was. I had it tied on a fancy new collar. How 'bout that! A big job, indeed!
Looks like a new last name for us dogs! Momma said I can hyphenate, though. :)
Keeps your eyes peeled- I'll be sending pawresents everypal's way when I have more time on this here currently-under-used-puter of ours!
Totally pawsome.
I not only hiked a new trail but made a new friend along the way.
Momma and I met up with a human friend and her Frenchie, Pelli. What fun we had! We got to climb up, up, up to the top of Mount Sugarloaf! It was so great- especially the part when we ran into about 10 other doggers who were hiking too! Most were friendly. We did a lot of sniffing and other "gettting-to-know-you" stuff. A couple of doggers weren't allowed to come near Pelli and I, but I think it was because of them, not us. I was a picture of dog perfection- peaceful, calm, and focused on my hike. I really liked sniffing the other dogs, but I kept myself under control and was a perfect gentleman.
Springtime brings me so much fun-
Longer stretch afore the day is done.
Romping, rolling, running fast-
mountain biking, such a blast!
Laying down in sunshine gold-
Stories of winter, just memories told.
Gone is the snow, oh, what glee-
Shriveling the white patch where I can pee.
Acclimating to again using grass
When squatting down, much kinder to my....
Oh I love spring there's lots to do,
Canoeing, hiking, swimming too.
The battle of winter, we have finally won,
Bless the spring which has just begun.
