RE: A Tribute to Tucker- PLEASE READ
That brought me to tears.
My 4 beagles are like children. We keep them in the house, they have their own kennels(they share), and I run the living snot out of them. Last winter I put a good 60-70 outings on them, not to mention the 14 field trials I took the 2 females to, and the 20+ runs from May to Sept. in a friends 60 acre inclosure.
I live with those dogs, and my 1 male is my favorite. He is a clown, learns fast, hunts hard(we often have to leave him in because he gets to cut-up hunting), minds fairly well, and loves to curl up against you and watch TV. He is 4.5 years old and I just noticed some grey hair on his face during Christmas-almost brought a tear to my eye.
It makes you thankful for good dogs-Amy, Ida, Casey, and my good-boy Jeeter.
Great Post!
