Since I have a ton of random pictures of my dog, Tucker, I figured I would do a special post just for him! So, without further ado, here goes...
This picture was taken within the last year. He's still a puppy here and he looks all cute and innocent. What you don't know is that we no longer have this couch anymore...Why you ask??? Because he chewed the cushions...all three of them...to some degree. Some had very large holes that couldn't be hidden by flipping the cushion over. Others had minor holes in comparison. Needless to say, we have a different couch now...Thanks Tucker!
This picture here was taken right after I had brought him home...probably within the first three months of him living with us. He was such a little squirt then! Again, he looks cute and innocent. But don't let that face and those eyes fool you! The chair he is sitting in...don't worry...we still have it. However it doesn't look like that anymore!!!
It looks more like this. I zoomed in on a picture of the chair in the background. If you look at the arm of the chair, you can see it's been chewed beyond repair. It actually is just a wooden arm on the chair now that the stuffing and leather has been chewed off!!!
Here's the story behind this one. It all started one night when I slept in the living room on the couch. Tucker was just a little pup at this point and I wanted to give him a night out of the kennel. In the past he would sleep on the couch with me and be fine all night. Well he had had more kennel time that day than he usually got so I wanted to let him sleep out of the kennel. I awoke at three in the morning to wierd noises coming from across the room. I sat up and fumbled around to find the switch for the lamp. When I finally was able to focus my eyes in the bright light I saw Tucker standing up on the arm of the chair, staring back at me with a mouth full of stuffing. Now it was only a little rip at that point, but over the past year and few months, it has turned into what you saw above...
I thought this one was just cool. His eyes are glowing and somthing happend with the flash to give him a bit of an eerie look. There are wierd streaks of glowing light all around him. I still don't know what happened and have not been able to replicate the glowing streaks of light since.
This picture and the following pictures were part of a random picture post effort. He was so sleepy and I kept waking him up to take the pictures. I'm sure he thought I was crazy! All he wanted to do was sleep. This is the dialogue I imagined was running through his head (in barks and woofs of course) while I was snapping shots.
Jess: Tucker...Watch me...it's picture time...
Tucker: I don't wannaaaaa...I'm too tired...Too sleepy...Sigh....
Jess: Come on Tucker! Tucker! Tucker! Watch me! Tucker...what are you doing little boy???
Tucker: I can't believe you won't even let me sleep! Fine...you want a picture, here's one...up close and personal. Now can I go back to sleep??? Sigh...
Jess: Come on Tucker...Watch me...One more baby...
Tucker: But I just want to go to sleep... I'm tired....Sigh....
Jess: Just one more Tucker...If this is a good one you can go back to sleep...I'll stop bugging you...Okay now, watch me...
Tucker: You promise? Just one more? Here goes...but you better keep your word! Sigh...
Jess: Good boy Tucker! What a good boy! Watching me for the picture...Okay...Go to sleep...Good boy!!!
He saw me getting ready to take a picture in the dark movie theater and made this lovely face...
This is how tiny the movie theater was...Willie is on Russ' shoulders and he's able to touch the movie screen...Oh, and the lights on either side indicate how wide the theater actually was...
The mummification of Willie...In the lobby at the theater...
And I'm pretty sure this was at Yanni's Restaurant in Coeymans. Again...what's with the faces Willie??? If we didn't know you any better we'd wonder if you ever smiled! It's a good thing we do know the good natured Willie though! Here's to you man!
