Tucker the Wonder Dog

Here's a 41 second video taken for family members who miss Tucker. For those family members who don't miss Tucker (you know who you are) click over to Facebook or The National Weather Service.

Disclaimer: This video is neither funny, interesting, creative, or amazing. Nor does it capture the unpleasant smell of wet dog. But it does make us smile to see our goofy dog jumping through the water.

We saw a dog jump off the dock to fetch a stick so we tried teaching Tucker. He was a good sport the first time.

The second time he walked to the end of the dock, waited a minute, then fell into the lake.

The third time he looked at the stick, walked back off the dock and then swam out to it. We finally gave up and then took this video. Maybe dock jumping is an acquired taste.

Erica took the video this summer. Meant to post it earlier but forgot. Keith is throwing an old VBS craft because it was easier for Tucker to see. Good thing Keith rinsed the wood off before throwing it. :)

  1. Our dog used to love the water, she would go after anything you threw in there.

    What lake is that on?

  2. Jules,
    This was taken by Lake Superior. We live just a few blocks away.

  3. Love the sweetness and don't miss the smell of wet dog!

    Delighted to meet you tonight and splash around. Don't worry, if I get a bit carried away, I'll clean up any messes :)

    Splashing for His glory,
    Sarah Dawn

  4. Yeah Tucker!!! The only time we can get Otis to fetch anything, is when we throw food. Otherwise he could care less.

    Hey, thanks for the link for writing humerous devotionals! Think I might give that a whirl. And thanks for the encouragement for my children's book. I did go to a writing conference, and met with 5 publishers. No one took the bait (hmpff!)

    Love the video...I wish more people would do that, you know, offer a glimpse into their lives. I'll have to think of something for my own blog.

    Blessings!
