Tucker the dog...






6 years after Lance passed away and we finally decided we were ready for a dog. We did it only with the option of giving him back to his owner if he didn't fit in with the family. We needed a dog that liked cats and babies. We took him as a "foster dog" on labor day weekend. After 24 hours we knew he was here to stay. He is a fullblood Bernese Mountain Dog. He was born thanks to a breeder (ugh) and given up when he had one blue eye and one brown (double ugh.) He was also a bit on the runt side. He ended up in a large dog shelter. Chris friend adopted him, but took a new job that kept her from spending much time with him. He is the sweetest dog. He is very quiet (not a bark or noise from him yet) and shy. He loves me and baby, but gets nervous around men. We took him for his first public outing today. There were lots of people and other dogs. He did a fantastic job! I think he is going to fit in just fine.
