Meet Tucker!

Well, over a week ago, we said good bye to our precious dog, Skittles.  Skittles was a tiny (only 2.4 pound) Yorkie who was very quiet, lovable, and many people commented that she was the best dog EVER!  She was only 3 years old when she died, not sure exactly what happened, but she got really sick, really fast and we had to put her to sleep.  Our family was heart broken to say the least!  We have never been without a dog, so last week seemed strange and very lonely!  Abby cried herself to sleep every night and we knew without a doubt our home would not be complete without another dog!

So....  last Friday Ashley and I headed out to look at several dogs.  At our first stop, we met Tucker, and needless to say, it was our last stop!  It was love at first sight for both of us! 

Tucker is our first male dog.  He is a Maltese with gorgeous long white hair that blows in the breeze.   He is WILD, loves to play, and has brought absolute joy to our family and helped our hearts heal.  I over heard Abby, who was laying on the floor next to Tucker this weekend,  and she was telling him all about his sister, Skittles, and how he helped "her heart not hurt so much!"   It was a precious moment and we are eager to share many more with this little wild bundle of fur.  Welcome, Tucker, to the Alford family - you fit in perfectly!
