For all who remember my dog Tucker...

[andtckrtoo]

The San Jose Mercury News stopped by to run a story on Tucker. It's actually a very fair story, and a very heart breaking one. If you care to read it, follow this link:

By the way - the memorial for the flowers was FILLED. No one ever took a photo of it at it's fullest.

Thanks for all of your support during this time. I think LauraMax mentioned that after two weeks of losing her friend Cosmo, it was not any easier. I can attest to that. It's not. He was my friend, my confident, and the one being on this earth who loved me without any reservations or questions. No matter what I did or did not do, he was there. His ashes are on my mantle, and I tell him I love him every day.

Your poor family and neighbors...I am so sorry for loss. I hope this story in the paper will open the eyes of all of those who drive too fast through residential neighborhoods. It could just have easily been a child chasing a ball into the street.

Hugs to you and yours...and I will think of Tucker up in doggie heaven having fun and chasing balls wherever he wants with no danger.

So sorry to hear of your loss. So tragic. The article brought tears to my eyes. Loosing someone is never easy especially someone so close to your heart. Hopefully the article will make people more aware and to be more careful in neighborhoods throughout your area.

Christine......I just want to send some hugs and well wishes your way. From one dog lover to another...animals become like family and I am sorry for your loss.

Tucker was obviously loved and cherished, even by his non-owners and that is truly amazing.

Christine...thank you so much for posting this article. Tucker was such a cool dog. I can probably attest to it not being any easier after 2 weeks also. I am so sorry....and I hope anyone who reads this article realizes the danger of speeding, and cell phone talking while driving. You already know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers...

Tucker was a wonderful friend and companion to your family. He will always have a place in your heart. I know he is in Doggy Heaven smiling down at you. I am glad he is still able to be with you on your mantle. It will take time for you and your family to heal, but I am sending prayers your way.

Christine, Again so sorry that you lost a part of your family. Thank you for sharing throught this hard time. Hugs.

Of course we remember Tucker!
And from the article, it's obvious that he was loved and is remembered by many. He was definitely a very special dog, and not just to your family.

 

[buffettgirl]

Thank you for sharing this with us. What happened is such a shame. I'm sure other pets will come and be special in their own way, but none will compare with your Tucker.

Christine, thank you for sharing this article about Tucker. He was a special dog and fortunate to have an owner that recognized it.

{{{{{Christine}}}}}, thank you for sharing this article about Tucker. It sounds like your whole neighborhood is in mourning, a testament to what a great pet and friend he was, and to you for training him!

What a lovely article about how much your dog Tucker was loved and how he will be missed by not only your family but by the neighbors that knew and loved him too.

The hurt never goes away as I can attest to it after almost 2 years since my beloved puppy of 12.5 yrs left to cross the Rainbow's bridge but warm loving memories always bring a smile when I think about her.

Hugs to you and your family - hopefully the authorities can do something about the speeding in your neighborhood before an actual human gets hurt.
