Sadly, we had to find Ruby a new home. She was afraid of children and we have two. She loves her new home! She is the center of their focus at all times with no other doggies or kids to share anything with. We still see her sometimes too. She's doing great and is super happy and that's all we wanted. She will be missed though.

Dog Park

For those of you who don't know where the dog park is here in Windsor, here's a map: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&countryid=US &addtohistory=&searchtab=address&searchtype=address&address= 775+capitol+street&city=Windsor&state=ON&zipcode=&search=++S earch++

It's not exact, but you'll see Remington Park there and the fenced in dog area is in there.

I'm the good one...

Tucker had to stay overnight at the vet a couple weeks ago. He ate a sock and a glove. I told him not to but he doesn't listen! I was sad when he had to stay. I went right to bed when we got home. I tried to have fun and take advantage of being the only dog the next day when he was still gone. I got to follow my mom everywhere she went without Tucker pushing me. I got the couch to myself too!

As the day went on though, I really missed Tucker. Mom and dad wont cuddle with me in my dog bed and they don't wrestle the same. They say I'm too big for them! They don't go to the bathroom in the backyard with me. They wont lick my ears either. When Tucker got home I was so excited. I gave him so many kisses and he got a cool bandana that I like to pull on. I'm glad he's feeling better and I hope next time he follows my example and only eats cardboard and other food items.

On another note, my mom says I'm getting really good about going on walks. I almost never bark or growl at people anymore. I'm starting to realize that just because I don't know somebody, doesn't mean they are scary or will hurt my mom. I just really, really love my mom and want to protect her. She understands.

Tucker, Tucker, Trouble Maker

Today Tucker has been bugging me like all day. He licks my ears when I try to sleep. If he does let me sleep, he always has to do it right where I am. Mom took us to the park today. I wasn't allowed to play with the other dogs because Tucker always wants to fight with them. I have to back him up (he is my little brother!) and we both get in trouble. No Shih-Tzu tag for me. We're now at our cousins Billy and Percy's house. We can't play with them either because they are old and don't like us young puppies bugging them. Oh well, they have lots of kids that want to play and leave food out. Yum! I like it here.
