We Lost Tucker Today

We lost Tucker today; for those of you who do not know Tucker was our dog, but so much more. Tucker was and will always be a part of our family. Like all family members Tucker had a unique relationship with each person in our family he was closest to Rick and me.

I love Tucker like I love any other person in my family, I spoke to him like a person, said hello when I came in the house, said goodbye and had conversations with him, which I fully believe he understood. I am very sad, when Tucker passed on Marcela, Rick, Patty and I were with him along with the vet. There is a hole in heart right now; Tucker was such a pretty dog, handsome, big, strong, beautiful brown eyes, Tucker was hairy to leave that part out would be a disservice to how much hair he actually had which was a lot, and it was everywhere we went through a vacuum cleaner every year, Tucker’s dog hair was everywhere and I will miss it.

Tucker was a big dog 110 pounds full bread German Sheppard. He had a big bark, the kind of bark that kept people out of your house. We never had anyone come in who didn’t say that is a big dog. He was very protective of me and our family and enjoyed letting you know he was there. If someone was afraid of Tucker and he knew it he would give them a deep growl to make them feel more uncomfortable. Now if you were not afraid of him, he was gentle, kind and loving. One of his favorite things was to have his chin scratched, very softly.

I would like to end with this. Our entire family loved Tucker all in our different ways and for that our lives were better. He was smarter, prettier, and handsomer than all of us. I miss you Tucker, I always told you I love you and you were favorite dog. Tucker I do love you and you are will always be my favorite dog.

With deepest sorrow Michael
