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

**4 Dog Mother** · 10-31-2007, 12:42 PM

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.

Hey, you don't have to explain anything to me, I LOVE him too.

Hope
you are able to get a few snapshots soon, so you can update your sig. I'd
love to see the little guy next to the bigger furkids.

Hugs to baby Tucker.

Sounds like a RESCUE to me!

As for St. Carl ... I'd bet the minute you walk out the door lil Tucker

Looks like we've got a new Table-Top Dawg for the Findlay Dawg Park!

How big does a JRT grow? I'm wondering if Tucker will be too big for the table top by next Memorial Day.

Naw ... he'll be just the Rite Size ...

After all, Snoopy and Cinder both manage to "fit" up there.

Phred is right - size is irrevelent to the picnic tables at the dog park. However Jack Russells are small in size. A good many are less than 20 lbs. I was told that Tucker should be about 12 lbs. Our Pippi who is part Jack Russell is about 18 lbs.

**pitc9** · 11-01-2007, 01:34 PM

Oh yeah, he's perfect table top size for the dog park!

I can't wait to meet the new guy!

You won't get any criticism from me. You helped a little cutie find a wonderful home and to me that is what matters. My Andy came from a yard sale. My mom saw him and called me up and insisted I come and see him. I did not wake up that morning intending to add a cat to my household

but how in the world could I have walked away after seeing that adorable little 2 lb. bundle of fluffy white fur so I know exactly what you mean!

Here is Tucker at work with me

And here is Tucker in Dazzi's kennel where he is when we can't keep our eye one him

**Cincy'sMom** · 11-01-2007, 09:40 AM

Awww!! He looks like such a soft little fuzz ball!!

**lizbud** · 11-01-2007, 12:42 PM

Aww, that "play safe" cage is perfect for him to hang out in. Look how
tiny he is.

Hugs little Tucker.

Awwwwe, Tucker, cutie! It's a good thing you aren't at work with me - I would not be able to get any work done because you are so adorable I'd be giving you hugs and snuggles all the time.

**k9krazee** · 11-02-2007, 07:08 PM
