IN MEMORIUM: TUCKER'S PAGE
Tucker(Huxtables Sawney Tucker) was my first Golden.  He came home to me in August 1995.  I had decided that the Golden was the perfect dog for me after completely falling for a grad school friend's Golden, and just had to have one of my own.
Tucker was an extremely challenging puppy.  He was into everything and had to have his own way;  he was also smart as a whip and found ways to amuse himself if I didn't amuse him!
As he aged, Tucker developed a fear of thunderstorms, an aversion to having his fuzzy-bunny slipper feet tidied, and a measure of separation anxiety.  Early in 2002 I decided that a companion would be good for him, and began the inquiries that brought Juniper into our lives.  Unfortunately he didn't get to enjoy his new friend for long.  Shortly after Juniper came home, Tucker had to be euthanized due to illness.  It seems he held on just long enough to know I'd have a new friend to get me through his departure.
