UPDATE
8/20/07 Tucker’s
Foster Family Is Going To Adopt Him!!
THIS IS A
NOTE FROM TUCKERS FOSTER FAMILY
Tucker is
a big, handsome, mellow Weim, approximately 2 years old.
He is
great with children and other dogs.
He had no
trouble fitting into our 3-dog household and
has not tried to intimidate despite
his obvious size/strength advantage.
We have 3 flighted birds that are sometimes loose in the house
and he does not approach or bother
them.
We don’t
have a cat, but he has seen the next-door neighbor’s cat several
times when he was off the leash and was
pretty uninterested.
Tucker has
not chewed anything in our house.
Overall I
would say that Tucker is extremely trustworthy except for a bit of counter-surfing
(we had a carne asada incident when he was first
here it was my fault!).
Tucker is
very people-oriented. He loves to be
touched and petted, likes to rest on the couch with his head in your lap,
will sleep in the bed every night if you let him.
He is
athletic and loves to hike and exercise with our other Weim, Muffin.
He is not
much for catching a ball or fetching, but if Muffin chases a ball,
stick or rabbit he will chase Muffin while she
does it!
Tucker is
completely house-trained and knows how to sit and lay down –
we are working on stay.
Tucker has
developed a new skill since his arrival in our household swimming.
He likes
to get in the pool and is an impressive diver.
We’ve
noticed that swimming brings out his protective instincts too
when our
9-year-old or I swim in the deep end he runs around, whines
and tries to encourage us to come to
the side or the shallow end.
He has no
problem with my husband swimming anywhere kind of weird, but cute.
Tucker
seems to like a household where there is a lot going on.
I don’t
know if he would be happy as an only dog or if he were left alone
for long periods of time. He is adjusting well to his new foster
home/family and we love him. He is an awesome dog.

Tucker was
picked up from Lied Animal Shelter on 2/9/07.
Lied
Animal Shelter called us at 10pm 2/8/07.
They asked
us to pick up all the weims at Lied by 730am
2/9/07 or they would be euthanized.
They said that we should know that any weims
that we pick up could or could not be sick.
I told her
we would be there the next morning to pick all the weims
up.
We picked
up SAGE & TUCKER.

SAGE
The
pictures below are of TUCKER on Friday 2/9/07.
 
We took
her originally at Centennial Hills
Animal Hospital.
We were
very lucky and TUCKER did not have Distemper like SAGE.
TUCKER was
able to go to a foster family on 2/10/07.
TUCKER has
some ear problems but he was just neutered on 3/30/07,
got a deep ear cleaning, and his teeth cleaned.
He seems
to be doing fine except he needs a permanent home were someone
will love him and not drop him off at the shelter
because they didn’t want him anymore.
We do not
understand we someone dropped him off at Lied Animal Shelter.
He is to nice a dog. We
think someone dropped him off at the shelter
because they could not afford meds or vet care.
He is too
sweet to give him up for any other reason.
Here is a
note from his Foster Family and
some recent pictures of TUCKER from 3/30/07.
Tucker
was neutered this week. He is doing
really well. He is sleeping on the
Couch.
Ate
his dinner and took his meds and seems ok.
The
vet found some debris in his ear canal and wants to check him in a couple
weeks once
his meds are done to see if we got it all.
I so adore Dr. Brooks at Tropicana.
They are completely connected to the ongoing wellness of the
animals they
treats… I am seriously thinking of changing vets.
Anyhow
- I will report back in a couple days - I enjoy caring for him
and
nurturing him...he is sooo sweet
