For Tucker

Tucker
2002-February 10, 2010

Tucker, it was exactly 6 years ago today that you came into my life. Six years seems far too short, but I know I am so blessed to have had that time at all.

There are no words to describe how greatly you will be missed.

Basset Hound Security Company!

Basset Hounds are great security dogs, but only if someone is home, really. Otherwise they tend to bark at any number of things, including falling leaves. And they will probably only snap at pesky flies. This is them on high alert.

High alert status doesn't seem to last very long though. Come to think of it, Basset Hounds tend to be a bit lazy, especially when it's hot. And they are very food-motivated, so a nice, juicy bone might be all it takes to distract them.

But they are so very cute, don't you think? So they have that going for them. Though what that has to do with security, I have no idea. Sometimes my brain can't handle these difficult questions.

So I'll just focus and stare deep, deep into those big, brown eyes. Oh yes, now I get it. They hypnotize you into submission with those big, brown eyes. That's their security method.

Mystery solved!

Stay tuned for the next episode of "The Non-Adventures of Tucker & Lucy." Thank you and have a nice day.

How to Spend a Saturday

Some days are just lazy days. The kind that are best spent with not too much on the agenda.

I realize that for most people these types of days might be luxuries that are few and far between, if they exist at all.

Tucker, on the other hand, seems to have these days in spades. I guess that's the benefit of being a basset hound.

Yeah, I feel you Tucker. I think you've got got the right idea here. I might just go grab a cup of coffee, top it off with some whipped cream, and join you here.

Resistance is Futile

This is Lucy. She also goes by Lola. The handsome fella behind her is Tucker.

Hi Tucktuck.

Being basset hounds, these two seem to have a natural gift for being very effective beggars. Something about their big brown eyes and their long, soft ears. It's hard not to cave, it really is. It might be bordering on impossible.

And they always seem to be around to catch any wayward scraps that you may or may not have accidentally dropped.

Hope springs eternal, eh Lucy?
