Tucker, One Year Old

May, 2009 - Tucker fully lives up to the Brittany attribute of being a ball of energy. And to expel that energy and to satisfy his need for daily, strong exercise; he participates in tennis ball retrieving until bone tired. Actually we have to be careful in the Florida heat to stop him before he thinks he has had enough.

May, 2009 - Tucker continues to be a very social dog. He is excellent in the public on a leash. He has good manners in public although the Gentle Leader aids in keeping him close by. He has missed interactions with other dogs lately as Bear and Ginger have each other. He loves to play with other dogs, especially play RUN.

June, 2009 - Tucker got to go to the beach one day. We will have to find a better beach for the next time. His excercise is formost in his daily routine as he gets to play fetchr 2 to 4 times a day in the huge 1 acre field next to our house. Lately, Tucker has come of age that he can be let off the leash and he will run the field naturally without bolting for it.

June, 2009 - Most fetching events are followed up at least with a good drink from the hose and a washing of the feet. On occassion, it includes the ultimate dip in the cool pool where the ball retrieving continues endlessly. He is so versital with his fetching, jumping, running, catching, swimming and general athleticism.
