What can I say? I LOVE this guy!
Tucker's sweet personality won me over from early on. There was a special gentleness about him and I just knew he would be the perfect dog for my dear friends Rich and Janeen and soon to be 11 year old Haily. The were origninally going to wait for Sparky's spring litter, but after getting to know this little guy, I had to tell them, "This is your dog, so you better start puppy proofing your house!" He has proved to be a perfect fit!!

Love is..... Someone to cuddle with.
Tucker with Aunt Haily. Haily is from our November 1998 Mattie x Maestro litter. Mattie is Tucker's Great Grandma, and Maestro is Tucker's Great Grandfather on Sparky's side and Great Great Grand father on Papa's side. Aren't dog genetics fun?!

Notice the family resembleance?	I'm afraid Tucker is growing right off the bed!	Could they be any cuter?!

If you put your arms around me
Could it change the way I feel
I guess I let myself believe
That the outside might just
Bleed it's way in
Maybe stir the sleeping past
Lying under glass
Waiting for the kiss
That breaks this awful spell
Pull me out...of this lonely cell

What I get from my reflection
Isn't what I thought I'd see
Give me reason to believe
Never leave me incomplete
Will you untie this loss of mine
It so easily defines me
Do you see it on my face?
And all I can think about
Is how long
I've been waiting to feel you move me

And I'm still fighting for the
Word to break these chains
And I still pray when I look
In your eyes, you'll stare right
Back down into something beautiful

Close my eyes and hold my heart
Cover me and make me something
Change this something normal
Into something beautiful
