Over the weekend, Wife and I went to Minneapolis with some good friends to visit some good friends with the intended purpose of drinking much beer and carousing. In that regard, mission accomplished. Mission freaking accomplished. Since our dogs don’t really like Minneapolis much (they hate trying to figure out the roads there) we dropped them off at our parents houses for the weekend. My parents got Leinie and her parents got Tucker, because they’re a handful if you’re not used to them. However, they’re not a handful like you might think.
Tucker has self-esteem issues. That’s right, he’s an emo dog. More >

Sorry for the delay there folks, I had a bout with illness and have emerged victorious. Having a job where you’re on the phones for 7-8 hours really doesn’t mix well with strep, but that’s a too much information and you don’t really care at all.

So last week I was working from home doing email. I wasn’t sick enough to just sleep all day, but I had no voice, so email is perfect for me. It allows me to still interact with customers, only now I’m somewhat cranky because do you know how BORING More >

I figured out what’s wrong with Tucker: he is a European soccer player in a dog’s body.
He will be running around playing just fine, having a grand ol’ time, and then something will cause him slight discomfort (hitting the end of the leash, bumping into a table, Leinie taking his toy).
This causes him to assume the “oh I’m so injured I can’t possibly go on anymore!” flop that soccer players do when someone looks at them too hard.
When we ignore him for a few minutes, he goes all sulky to his corner, as if to say “Fine, if you don’t want More >

Our two-dog household is doing well, although there have been some stages at which I have been made upset.
The first was the poo incident. Tucker has never poo’d in the house before, and basically has to be walked for an hour before he feels like taking a poo outside. Leinie on the other hand just can’t hold it when he’s gotta go. In his defense, he came from the shelter eating some crappy dog food (Science Diet is only scientifically designed to turn dog feces into puddles smelling of a skunk that died). The other morning we let him out of the More >

On Saturday, we added another member to our household. We’ve been looking for another dog for awhile, but we had guidelines that this new pooch had to follow. Since Tucker, outside of liking to pee on me in the morning, is really only about as much work as half a dog, we decided that another halfadog would be great. Tucker might not feel so lonely during the day, and when we watch a movie on the couch, we’ll each have a dog trying to steal our popcorn.
It took us about a week to pick a name for Tucker (at the More >
Tucker

My fiance and I own a dog named Tucker, who is half beagle, half dachshund, and half toddler. This means that he’s kinda loud, kinda stubborn, and likes to come at you with his paws toward your face and faintly smelling of urine.
He is housebroken, make no mistake about it. He knows that peeing outside is the right way to do things. I’ve been trying to figure out why sometimes he insists on urinating in the house, and I’ve come to the conclusion its out of spite. Tucker is simply upset that he’s a dog and we’re humans.
