Tucker is my best friend and he will be 15 years old in September. But I'm not sure if he will make it to 15 years. You might be thinking Tucker is a sibling or someone else in my family. He basically is a sibling but not biologically. Tucker is my puppy. Technically he's not a puppy but to me all dogs are puppies

Dear Tucker,

You are my best friend. I've been told many times that when I was 4 years old I went with my mom to get you. I don't remember that at all. All I remember is you just being there everyday. I know you are having a hard time walking, hearing, and seeing. I just can't bear to see you go. You used to sleep with me every single night for many years. Probably until about 4 years ago. I know you love me and I love you so much. I'm going to miss you so much when you go. And I know your brother will too. We had to go through putting your old brother down and I just can't go through that again.

You still get super excited when your mom gets home and you love to snuggle with her and me sometimes. I just don't know what I'm going to do without you. You are the best puppy ever. I'm going to miss your kisses, you're little howls, your barks even though they are so loud, you begging for food all the time and all the other little things that you do. Mr. Tucker Man whenever you go please say hi to your other brother for me.

-Love, Sister

Dogs are truly family. I love every single one of my friends animals, my grandparents, really just anyone's. If I could have a million dogs I would. But that definitely can't happen. My Mr. Tucker Man is a Shih Tuz. He's the cutest, most fluffy thing. I love when his hair grows out because then he's so super fluffy. I love this little guy so much and I don't know what I'm going to do without him.
