I am sorry for the lack of updates. Guess there isn't much to say since Tucker has been gone. I can't believe it has been almost two months since we said goodbye. In a way, it seems like it was just yesterday, and in another way, it feels like he has been gone for years. We are surviving. We have good days and sad days. I think that once the weather starts to get nice, it is going to be a new adjustment period all over again. Tucker loved to "roly poly" in the grass (that is, roll around on his back with a huge smile on his face), and once the grass comes back in the spring, it will be hard to look out in the backyard and not see him "roly polying" or see his "roly poly" spots in the grass.
People keep asking us when we are going to get another dog. We have talked about it, but I don't think we are ready yet. He was just such a perfect dog. I think we are both scared of being disappointed (though I know that could never really happen) and comparing every little thing to Tucker. Our hearts are full of love, though, and I would like to think that we will get another dog one of these days.
I have lots of pictures that I need to scan and post here ... just haven't had a chance to sit down and do it. Hopefully in the next couple months.
Just wanted to mention another beautiful golden retriever who lost his battle with hemangiosarcoma on 2/17. His name was Spencer, and he was a therapy dog in California. I am including a link to his blog here ... it is well worth checking out. Our thoughts and condolences go to Spencer's mom and dad, as we know the pain and sadness they are feeling.
