It's True - I've Lost My Mind - Meet Tucker***** New Pictures Post #34

[4 Dog Mother]

Now most of you know that I already have five dogs and some of you will remember that my daughter and her children (3 & 1) and 3 dogs are now living with me. So isn't my life crazy enough? Evidently not because I went away for the weekend with my parents and sister and brother-in-law and look what I brought home.

Oh Diana, I must admit I'm a real softy when it comes to puppies.
I try to get no closer than a picture to keep me out of trouble. What
a little sweetie pie. HI Tucker.

[4 Dog Mother]

Yeah, Staci I knew you and many others will be shocked. As I said, I've lost my mind but I also fell in love with this little guy. I have named him Tucker and I think that is what it will stay. He is suppose to be Jack Russel - purebred broken coated. I didn't believe them but it didn't matter - he is only suppose to get to about 12 lbs. I hope they at least didn't lie about that. I wanted a small dog. It's been a long time since I have had a baby dog. All the others have been 4-6 months or older when we got them. Oreo was our last puppy puppy and that was what 17 years ago or so.

Right now he weights 2lbs. 7 oz. He was born August 10 so he is about 11 weeks old. He's just so cute. And so far he has been real good. I put him in a carrier crate that we have for Pippi - it's plenty big enough for him. He has slept all night both nights we have had him. The other dogs don't quite know what to make of him. Snoopy especially. Snoops won't leave him be. He keeps trying to clean his ears like he does the others but of course for his little guy that means a bath and Tucker gets irritated after a few seconds of that. To keep him safe he is always in a crate - we put him in one of the bigger ones when every one is out - except of course when I can keep a very close watch on him and the others including the kids. I take him to work during the day.

Of course, Jasmine and Dominic love him but they think he is little enough for them to carry etc so that is something we are trying to teach them not to do.

Staci, you have to be talking to someone to know if they moving out - however, I think he thinks I should be the one to go. Actually after the initial shock, he is getting use to the idea. Not joyously but he doesn't glare at me all the time now.

I think this is a sign you were meant to gt him...you have never known the dogs's real birthdays before, but always picked a close family memeber's Bday to remember it. Well, Aug. 10 is Amber's birthday, the first of your adopted daughters! You'vassigned dogs tot he rest of us...time to move on to the adopted family!!

He sure is a cutie! Can't wait to see him!

[Ginger's Mom]

OMG, what a cutie pie. What breed(s) is he? Where did you find him, or did he find you? He looks so young; how old is that little pumpkin? Can we see more pictures, please?

ETA: Oops, I'm sorry I must have been typing when you posted. But the last question still stands.

I was LOL when I read Staci's post and asked "Where's Carl moving to?"

Oh Diana, he's too cute! I can't wait to meet him!
Did he come from a shelter?

[ScottieMommy]

Ahhh what a cutie! I only have one doggie my Scottie looking to bring home a new puppy soon. Possibly a Cairn Terrier puppy for xmas NOT sure yet, have not decided on the breed.

[Taz_Zoee]

Welcome to PT Tucker!! You are such a cutie!!!

[shais_mom]

glad to hear it MOM!

I haven't been able to get many pictures of him. Either one of the kids is blocking the view or one of the dogs. Or he just plain moves on me. He is so darn cute and while he understands what he is suppose to do outside he does not get he is suppose to wait until he is outside. The only good thing about that is everything is little about him.

He still is sleeping quite well at night. His little crate is in our room and although he will fuss a little he stops very quickly.

As to how I got him, we were at a flea market and even though I am pretty sure he came from a puppy mill or back yard breeder, I couldn't resist. He was the last of his litter of four and I simply could not stop myself. And those of you that want tell me how wrong that was, I know all the arguments and all the whys why I should not have gotten him. But I looked into his eyes and all that went out the window. I know I will take as good as or better care of him than anyone else who might have bought him. The vet says he can overcome his bad start in life by a good home that offers him good nutrition and good care and I will give him that. All my others have been rescues and while I don't regret that I often wish I knew them when they were baby puppies and what they looked like. I didn't buy him right away, I walked around the rest of the flea market and then later went back to get him. And I am not sorry I did.
