Been a long time, I have been rolling around the country in an 18 wheeler for the past couple years. Hope you are all doing well.

The dobie is my new brat. His name is lewis and he has been rolling with me since he was 10 weeks. He is about a year and a half now.
   
  
 
 

Hi Jason!! This is the Jason that kept Tucker for us in the city's isn't it?? Sure was wondering what happen to you. Tucker is still wonderful & doing great. Can't hear so good any more, but still gets playful streaks in him.Good to see you back! I use to have a dobie, very nice dogs

Alice, Tucker is a real noble handsome  man I absolutely love our SENIOR GSP'S!!!!   A very special place in my heart  Thank you for sharing Tuckers  picture with all of us.!!!!

TUCKERS STORY:

for some of you you don't know it here goes, It all started with Hurricane Katrina. My husband who is a Federal Agent was told to pack it up & get ready to go to Louisiana to help.  Being a volunteer for anything person, I wanted to help to. I had always gone on Lisa's web site , WGSPR,  looking at the dogs & when she put out a plea for help to foster dogs from the hurricane I called her & volunteered. Well they couldn't get any dogs transported that far north., so I didn't get any. Then in November of that year she calls me I & said " would you like to take a 10 year old boy. He has been at the shelter for 2 months & is getting ready to be put down. Nobody wants an old dog. I was his last chance. I really hadn't thought of wanting one either but I said OK. Then we had to figure out how to get him here. It took 2-3 weeks  & a lot of help from this board to finally  get a plan. We had to be in Minneapolis on Dec. 5 for meetings. Lisa got him a ride from Milwaukee to Minneapolis but then we couldn't get him for 4 days. That's when Jason read our post & voleentered to keep him until we could pick him up. That's how Tucker came to live with us!! The people on this board are like family & we could not have made it happen without them. Tucker is the most wonderful old man ever!! I can't imagine not having him ! It took almost a year for him to get over some past things in his life that were not good, but now he is just a old spoiled man!!

ps- Ruger still doesn't really like him, but leaves him alone.

My friend Gayle, across the street has a 14 year old Saluki ,Monty boy!! He is here chewing on Rocky's raw hide during a Packer game. So you can see why she loves hearing about Tucker and how good he is for his age

This is front face pic of Monty boy he turned 13 yrs on Jan 7-08!! He may be a few months younger than Tucker. Monty is an AKC registerd Saluki. And for your trivia, " What is the fastest breed of the AKC?" It is the Saluki as they can run 40 to 50 miles an hour in their prime. Monty does have a 3 year old sister he lives with , Dreamer

Rocky has alot of play time with Monty 's 3 yr old sister Dreamer. They have alot of runny, runny zoomie times. Both are very sparky

Monty wants no parts of his sister Dreamers, playfulness so she comes over across the street and gives it to her neighbor Rocky
