Tucker Trapanick

It was 15 years ago this little pup, Tucker, came into our life. It's heart breaking to let him go as he went through several life phases with us.  Our hearts are deeply saddened to say goodbye as we will miss him dearly. We are thankful he is no longer in pain and that we are left with joyful memories. From driving hours across Ohio from Pittsburgh, PA to get "Mr. Handsome" as was his original name to bring him home to be known as Tucker, Tuck-Tuck , T. Tucker Trouble and even Damn it Tucker!  As he truly lived to eat, offered endless love and lived to be a constant companion at each of our sides whenever we required endless comfort and companionship.  Our friends experienced his relentless cunning techniques of obtaining any and all food high above any dogs reach such as a whole cake on a high top table, a full box of chocolates we assumed was out of reach, to the sandwich too close to the counter's edge.  First off scolding him for the act but then marveling at how on earth he had reached yet another food item that we thought was safe from the distracting, conniving and strategic endless reaches of The Tucker!  He loved the snow, playing ball, swimming in our Pittsburgh pool, playing with all the kids and keeping up with the endless stream of neighborhood kids that blessed our home always announcing yet another visitor.  He kept up with us all, even with our 11 hour drive to move to Bartlett, TN. He never wavered and he was always loved deeply.  Good Bye my sweet dear friend you will always be missed and will never ever be forgotten, we will see you in Heaven one day.
