Tucker


Well I thought Tucker deserved his own area of our blog as he is a BIG part of our family and happiness! :) He is not a pure bred wheaten terrier, but rather what I like to call a wheatable. We adopted Tucker from a rescue in Kansas City, Missouri named S'Wheat rescues. Their entire mission is to save as many wheaten terriers as possible. We knew we wanted a wheaten terrier pup and were hoping to rescue one as opposed to buy from a puppy mill/pet store and thus, found S'Wheat rescue. After browsing their website for several months, his picture appeared one day and I knew he would be perfect for us! Tucker is now 3 and will celebrate his 4th birthday on May 5th! He went through some interesting/difficult times as a pup, but is now very well mannered and a pure joy for us to have around. He goes to doggy day care atleast once a week to get some socialization and play time in as we work +70 hrs/week on average. He loves to play chase with other dogs, no matter what their size and can fetch just about any specific toy of his you name. I hope you enjoyed this post on Tucker! He's our baby and in our humble opinion...world's greatest dog!
