my name is tucker

it's comfortable...

2010-03-25T14:19:00.001-07:00

...really.

i love lounging in dad's office chair while mom works on her computer. that way i'm not too far from her, but i don't have to lay on the floor.

so hungry

2010-01-22T08:06:00.001-08:00

i know it's been a while, sorry.

so these days i'm on a crash diet (like everyone else i guess). my doctor wants me to get down to about 70 pounds. i'm at like 74 (don't judge). thing is, my knees have been hurting, and they think this will help.

i miss cookies and table scraps.

upward facing dog

it's really important to exercise every day or you will lose your svelt figure...my favorite ways to exercise are to run around the park with dad (ok, not around the whole park...but part of it) and to do yoga. my favorite pose is upward facing dog.

really stretches out the hips...

daddy's boy

i really love my dad. we spend a lot of time together...mom snapped this while he was talking to me last night.

lounge lizard

saturday mornings are for lounging. i start in the bed, and then i migrate to the hall. if mom and dad don't wake up early enough to take me out, i go downstairs and lounge on the couch instead.

so fresh and so clean

2009-10-02T11:07:00.000-07:00

it takes a lot of work to keep my handsome mug clean and my beautiful coat shiny. mom and dad bring me to dogma to give me baths because i'm a little big for the tubs in the house.

i don't really like baths, but i love the shampoo they use. it smells like earl grey tea...i think it's the bergamot.

plus they buy me a monkey cookie for "being good" while they bathe me. it has orange icing, and i really like that. mom always saves the head for last...which is fun too.

i'm a sleeper

2009-09-23T16:16:00.000-07:00

i like to sleep, and i'm really good at it.

mom and dad bought me this new bed a while ago, and i just got it perfect. it's wedged in between my dad's side of the bed, the wall, and the little side table. my dad has to get out of bed all the way at the bottom so he doesn't disturb me...but i'm sure he doesn't mind.

i mean, look at me.

wake up mom!

2009-09-20T09:31:00.000-07:00

i make sure that the first thing my mom sees when she wakes up is my smoosh. she's so lazy, sometimes i have to stare at her for a while and then headbutt the bed to get her up.

rain, rain, go away

2009-09-17T07:17:00.001-07:00

if there is one thing i really hate, it's the rain. i'll do anything to avoid it, including waiting up to two days to pee. i've heard my mom threatening me with a yellow rain slicker (as if that would help) but dad always shoots her down. good thing the man's got my back.

mom forced me to go out in the rain this morning, but before that i gave her this pleading look...i don't understand why it didn't work.

now i'm all wet.

so lonely

2009-09-15T15:49:00.000-07:00

i hate it when my mom leaves for work. i'm no mama's boy, but i just get so lonely...

tucker in the woods

2009-09-04T13:30:00.001-07:00

my mom and dad took me to aunt katie's parents house, and they don't have concrete there. they have trees and grass. when we first got there i didn't know where all the sounds were coming from...so i kept looking...and looking...and then i saw it.

a bird.

and i didn't stop looking at it until we left.

one of my favorite things

2009-09-03T06:42:00.000-07:00

one of my favorite things to do is eat but when i first moved in with my mom and dad i woudln't eat at all (i was a little stressed about the transition). so they found out what my favorite treats were really fast. i like anything that tastes like peanut butter, bully sticks, lunch meat (ham is best if you don't mind), asparagus, carrots, and broccoli. i also really like cat food, and this morning i tried to eat it after i'd already had my breakfast...

but mom caught me.

i did a good job of looking like i was really sorry until she came over and petted me.

she's such a sucker.

all tuckered out

2009-09-02T18:04:00.000-07:00

i just got back from a seriously long walk. note both the side eye and the "frog-dog" pose...clearly i'm exhausted.

fortunately i look good from this angle.

hello, my name is tucker

2009-09-02T10:55:00.001-07:00

as you can see, i'm a really good looking dog. i'm not cocky about it or anything, but chicks dig me.

stick around and i'll keep you up to date on where i am, what i'm doing, and just how wrinkly i am at any given moment.
