Meet the newest member of our family, Tucker! For a LONG time, we have wanted a dog, and particularly a lab. We had always talked about getting a puppy, but I was set on waiting until Carson was older, and then cancer happened, and well, it got taken off the priority list again. We started reconsidering our options when my parents adopted an older dog, a 3 yr old golden retriever a couple of months ago. That sold me on skipping the puppy stage and getting a dog that was trained but still young. Then, a patient of Eric's who is older and going through a divorce and moving was looking for a young family to give their 1 yr old yellow lab to...So we decided to "babysit" him for a couple of days to see if we wanted to take the leap, and the rest is history.
His original name was Koby. Eric and Carson wanted to keep it, and Austin and I liked Tucker. So, we flipped a coin and Tucker it was! He is a good looking dog, well trained, and perfect for our two active boys! We take him to the park practically everyday to run, the kids are outside in the yard with him ALL the time. It's so fun to watch their attachment already to this dog. Austin has ALWAYS wanted a dog, and has been asking for one since he could say the word "dog". Carson loves dogs too, and it just seemed like a good thing for our family. It also fixes my "baby craving" by having another body to take care of. We love him!
