Tucker, age 6

Hi. I have been asking my “parents” for a new buddy for some time now. I told them another Lab just like me would be a great. Well, one day they brought home this yapping little mouse! I had no idea what it was. I have never seen anything so little and feisty. They told me I had to be nice to her. Don’t tell anyone, but I was a little scared of her at first. I used to hide from her in my big chair. Little did I know Tess is a Jack Russell, and they are known for being jumpers. So much for hiding in my chair. The more we hung out, the more I started to like her. Now we are the best of buds. We love to tug-of-war with our toys. Tess is actually very strong, despite her size. My “mom” asked me to pose for a picture with my new little buddy. Tess and I make a pretty cute couple.
