Home again, home again

Tucker is back home!!  I'm so incredibly happy to have him here with us again.  I have missed the little guy so much.  He may be a big responsibility, but that's nothing compared to the happiness that he brings me.  I seriously can't imagine my life without him.  I love caring for him and being his "mom"  J

Tucker's vacation

Wow, I cannot believe it's been over a month since my last post!  But I suddenly am finding myself with a little more time on my hands now that Tucker is away for "Spring Break"!  He is staying with his "grandparents" (Boyfriend's parents) for 10 days in eastern Washington.  It's good I had my week away in January to help me get used to the feeling of not having my pup around.  This time is quite different though since Boyfriend and I are together and home alone!

Moment of blunt honesty: I don't think we realized just how much stress and pressure caring for a dog put on us until he was away.  It's been forever since we've both felt so relaxed.  Having a dog is a huge responsibility (duh.), but it feels like we didn't exactly realize the extent until now.  Okay, now on a more happy, "yay for dogs!" note: I do miss him tremedously!  I miss having someone happily greet me when I get home from work.  I miss him falling asleep on my lap.  I miss the joy and laughter he brings to our lives everyday. 

All that being said, I'm glad he's had this vacation away with family and Radar the Westie (his new BFF), but I am looking forward to having him come home again!
