Yawn Over Lawn

Tucker is enjoying the long winter nap as best he can. He likes the cold cause it makes him run faster. Or so he believes. But he doesn't like the fact that it means he gets to spend less time outside.

He likes how he seems to get to spend more time on the bed when it is cold because his parents are more willing to let him and his siblings up. But he thinks this is all some ruse they are playing to steal cheap dog warmth instead of turning the thermostat up at night.

As you can see, Tucker is a conflicted gentleman. But what he really wants to do is play fun games with his human friends. And soon Spring will come and there will be warmer days and mud puddles and lots of things to chase in the yard.

So for now Tucker will catch up on his sleep and think about which games he will like to play first when the warmer weather comes.

Chip!

Tucker and the gang had a friendly visitor this weekend. The lovable ragamuffin known as Chip! came to stay for 2 days whilst plans were made for his adoption. You see Chip! was surrendered to the pound early Friday morning by a woman who could no longer afford to keep him. She claimed he had too much energy as well. All his papers were in order and it seems he had been well looked after. The woman had paid a handsome sum for Chip! when he was a baby. She bought the pure bred Wheaton Terrier from a place that sells cute little balls of fluffy responsibility to people who tend to think of animal life as some form of commodity.

Now Tucker and his dad are trying really hard to not be judgmental. Even though li'l Chip! wasn't fixed and likely to meet a nice girl and start a family of his own if the lady had just dumped him on the streets, Tucker and his dad are glad the lady brought Chip! in to get placed. Now this doesn't happen to all animals that people drop off. Most don't get a second chance. And that makes Tucker and his dad incredibly sad. Chip! just happened to arrive when another nice lady was there who happened to know someone who could foster him until a rescue group could place him with a nice family.

And that is what happened. Although Tucker usually snubs his nose at purebreed anythings, he has to admit that ol' Chip! was a good egg and he was glad he got the chance to play with him.
