Tucker... pretty much back to normal.

Here's the kid the morning after our big Ohio weekend.
He's pooped. Cute, though, eh?

Love him!

(pardon the complete disaster our apartment is at the moment!)

Tucker... follow up.

Here are the details of Tucker's attack:

I was running in a neighborhood that is next to our apartment complex. I've been doing this for almost 2 years with no issues. I always take Tucker with me unless I'm running more than 6 miles or it's really hot - then I leave him at home. We've run by this particular house many times, and now that I think about it, I remember seeing the "attack dog" fenced up in the back yard barking his head off at Tuck as we ran by. On Tuesday, the dog ran out the front door. I think the owner had the door open talking to someone on the front porch. The dog was unleased and the attack was completely unprovoked. It lasted about a minute or so. The guy finally got his dog to let go and led him back in the house. I said some not-so-nice things to him, including calling him an ASSHOLE... which I don't regret.

We walked back home, and I thought Tucker was fine. It wasn't until about an hour later that we noticed a blood spot where he had been laying. So, we took him to the emergency vet where they found another wound, cleaned both of them and gave us antibiotics for him. They also suggested we call Animal Control and report it, so we did. We're still waiting to hear what will happen - but we were told that since the cops didn't see it happen, they can't give the guy a citation. But, they can check to see if the dog has up-to-date vaccinations and ask the owner to pay our vet bill. In NC, it's required by law to have dogs vaccinated for a bunch of stuff, including rabies.

Here are a couple (blurry because he kept moving) photos of the wound on his back. The one on his chest is pretty much impossible to photograph.

Poor baby.

Injured, but still happy.

Just because, here is Tucker being the sweetie-pie that he is.

First real post... Something far from controversial.

Seriously, how cute is my dog?

I'm sure you all probably know - Tucker he is my four-legged child. He weighs as much as a small human (92ish lbs), so he's easy to cuddle. Love him.

Here he is on his snuggie. Yes, I said HIS snuggie.
He also owns the bed and lets us use it at night. Nice of him, eh?

Crazy dog! Running in the aftermath of the snowstorm we got last week.

He loves me too. CUTE. Can't argue with that.
