EXPLORE BY TUCKER
Make your own path.
Do not travel the well worn road.
There is always something new to discover.
Fear not the unknown.
Push away the clouds.
Ignore the wind.
Seek sunshine,
And a rainbow.
Imagine what is not,
And make something new happen.
Rush to discovery.
Walk to the sunlight.
Let the stars be your guide.
Let them capture your curiosity.
The journey is exciting.
The destination is the reward.

SHINE BY TUCKER
Do not let the day get you weary,
Or small.
Do not let tears drop from your eye,
Hope will dry them all.
When you are down,
And a friend cannot be found.
Move yourself above the fray.
Make the hurt go away.
Do not let darkness surround you.
Look for the light.
Grasp it.
Your time to shine will come.

Merry by Tucker
Merriment. The day may be overcast.
Do not dwell on the weather.
A day is what you make of it.
No matter what the clouds bring.
Be merry. We may not meet again.
So, remember the fun,
And forget the rain.
Try music on a cloudy day.
It will fill your heart with emotion and joy.
Let your head and heart be filled with music.
It will allow you to escape the weather.
Let your merriment touch someone.
Allow them to experience pure joy.
Enjoy it forever,
Or capture it for now.

Walk through the day without fear.
Let no one interfere with your plan.

Somewhere by Tucker
Somewhere in this world,
On the planet earth,
There is a country I heard of,
Each and every day.
Somewhere in this world,
The sky is brilliant and bright,
And the hopes of many,
Really do come true.
Somewhere in this world,
There is a land of hope and courage,
Where people are free,
And all are given opportunity.
Somewhere in this world,
There is a nation,
That is a beacon to all,
That is where you will find me and all who have hope.
Somewhere in this world is America!!

THOUGHTS BY TUCKER
Many thoughts are not what they seem,
Some come from dreams,
Others fly away,
Yet others linger.
All have meaning,
In the fertile puzzle of life.
Some return for further clarification.
Others disappear forever.
Let your dreams become reality.
Become your dreams,
For they are your greatest thoughts.
Always look ahead for inspiration!

JOY BY TUCKER
Every day,
Do not hesitate,
Say what your soul says,
Let it out.
You are your soul.
So let it out.
Even if blue,
Or sad.
Let your soul invite joy.
You can change your soul,
And embrace joy.
Open your heart to it.
Joy is never far away.
But, you must seek it.
Once found,
You will have found yourself.

TUCKER ON WINNING
It is neither near nor far.
It might be in front or rear.
Go out and strive for it.
Be relentless in pursuit of it.
When you are weary and exhausted.
Continue to fight for it.
Give up everything in search of it.
Empty the strength of your heart and soul for it.
Do not allow weakness to distract you.
When you have fully exhausted yourself,
You will see it over the horizon.
Grasp it now and forever.

FREEDOM BY TUCKER
Into the valley of death,
America finds itself.
Forward America,
You must go!
Challenge to the right,
Adversity to the left,
Prosperity not far away.
The guns blast,
The bombs drop,
The fallen vanish.
The wounded survive.
America's soul rode to confront adversity,
The free fight bravely,
The mindless run for cover.
Freedom can never be surrendered.
No matter how many times we ride into hell!!

Tucker's Belief
If you believe,
Anything is possible.
Inspiration from the mind matters.
The mind provides the food for achievement.
Keep moving toward something.
Even if you do not know what it is.
Because when you find it,
You will learn from it.
Aim for the highest of highs.
By not doing so,
You will certainly fall short.
Under-achievement is no achievement at all.
Never think that you best is good enough.
You can always do better in some way.
Improve yourself in every way.
But above all, believe, believe, believe!!

Stay in the hunt,
And shoot for the front.
Even though you have traveled this road before,

Between winning and losing,

Tucker's Journey
In life,
There are many roads to travel.
One dreams of traveling them all,
But, the choice is one at a time.
We look down each road we face,
To see how far we can go,
But the end often is not clear.
We choose the one with few bumps,
And smooth pavement.
We begin each journey,
As if it will not end.
But, we sometimes choose to turn back.
The end somehow was not as appealing as the beginning.
As time passes by,
We choose the less traveled way.
It poses challenges that others do not,
And they have made all the difference.

Tucker's Model Attitude
Your attitude determines the day's outcome.
Start unfocused and with a dour attitude,
And your day will be unfulfilled.
Muster enthusiasm, bolstered by a positive attitude,
And your day will be filled with success.
There is nothing that cannot be acomplished by the one who possesses a winning attitude.
Yet, everything can be lost by one who has the wrong attitude.
If you believe you can do it,
You will.
If you do not believe,
You are doomed.
Get up, step out and DO!

Tucker's New Year
The year 2010 shall be a good one.
It will include small steps forward and a few steps backward.
It shall be as much of what we makes of it,
And devoid of unnerving challenges.
Part of the year will be filled with frolic,
And much of it will be captured by uneventful rest and tranquility.
As the year advances,
It becomes a sequel to prior annals.
As it nears its end,
It becomes a prelude to the future.
This year is not yet next.
It has some of the prior and some of what is to come.

Winning by Tucker
Let nothing stand in your way.
Be smart, assertive and positive,
And put yourself on a mission,
That no one can keep you from.
Do not allow the day and moment to be empty.
Give it urgent meaning.

Seize the sunshine; shun to darkness.
Reach within yourself,
As you never have before.
Make yourself go further and faster.
The strength is within you.
Do not turn waay from the challenge.
Look it straight in the eyes.
Push through the barriers of the past.

And you will be the emotional victor.

Tucker's Friend, Rocket, Needs Your Help
Tucker receives dozens of letters, notes and emails each week. The message he received yesterday struck an emotional cord with him.
Tucker's friend, Rocket, has a tumor on his spleen. He is 13-years old. His mum takes him for 40 minute walks twice daily, but recently Rocket has slowed considerably, and only walks to the corner and back.
Rocket's veterinarian can remove his spleen, but mum wants to know if this will result in 1-2 years of additional quality life.
Tucker wants to know if any Scottie owners have had any experience with this condition, and what the post operative quality of life is likely to be for a 13-year old Scottish terrier.

Thank you Tucker and Scottie owners for advice. I go back and forth regarding surgery. I'll do it, if his quality of life will be good, but there are no guarantees. The vet will put him down if she opens him up and the cancer is spread. Scotties live to be 15 on average, I think, and if surgery will keep him with me for two more years, it's worth it. If any of you have had a Scottie and had to make this choice, please send thoughts, pro or con. Rocket's Mom, Cynthia

Missing by Tucker
When someone leaves
They become missed
The emotional bond is temporarily broken
And uncertainty takes hold.
Hopefully the separation is temporary
The memory of the past is vivid
But today my heart is full of the missed.

Because I want to be near my cherished friend.
I will wait by the door
And will not leave until he returns.

Observation by Tucker
To see is not necessarily to understand.
Images are visual.
Actions too can be viewed.
But understanding requires intellect, thought and analysis.
Today, we see many things.
What do they mean?
Are they important?
What about the things and actions that we do not see.
Are they more or less important than those we observe?
Perhaps they are.
Take everything in.

Experience as much as your curiosity allows.

Somewhere and Everywhere by Tucker
Somewhere across town
And down a very steep hill,
There's a place that I love
And cherish dearly.
Someday I will miss this lovely place
And still be pleased that I was allowed to visit.
This place makes troubles seem far away,
And happiness seems to be always near.
It is a place you will always find me.
Everywhere there seems to be tension and strife.
But here it always passes me by.
It is where the clan always gathers.
It is my home!

A Dream Remembered
A Remembrance by Tucker
I, and many like me acted out a dream oh so many years ago,
When the world was uncertain and full of conflict,
And life was full of hope and passion,
I thought I would never die.
Life was worth living,
But death was always lurching around the corner,
Then I was young and unafraid,
Until one day the rockets bore down on us,
From that moment on,
Invincibility was just a dream,
Mortality set quickly in our minds.
These were not times when men were kind,
There were no voices,
There was no sign,
There was this time,
When our lives were changed forever.
This was the moment when youth was taken,
And hope was shattered.
A life worth living was altered eternally.
The predators came at night,
Their bullets and grenades shatter your body,
Our innocence was taken aside,
Our minds forever unable to either forget or move forward.
For so many of us,
This day can never be forgotten.
Freedom is not a word,
It is an act of sacrifice.

Tucker to the Rescue
Everyone knows of the indifference of man.
A Scottish terrier is indifferent to nothing.
There is meaning in everything to a Scottie.
There is also good in everything.
Scotties believe that every man has the potential to do good.
After all, there is no reward for indifference or cruelty.
The rewards for mankind shall be determined at the final judgement.
Saving a Scottie from the confines of cruelty will not change the world.
But it surely will change the world for that one special Scottish terrier.
That one special act of compassion and kindness,
May be the moment of salvation for man.

Tucker, the Master at Reflection
Reflection by Tucker
Every day is a thoughtful engagement.
Each is cause to absorb and deflect.
Darkness and brilliance often combine
To share the same space.
Wind, rain and sunshine,
All combine to add texture to the experience.
Each requires adjustment and appreciation.
In time, all are absorbed in comfort.
Each day is accepted for what it is.
In part because it must be.
However, each day is also an opportunity,
To manage events to ones advantage.
To do so requires persistence and thought.
Each day can be captured and seized.
And must not be allowed to slip away.
Although another day will surely come,
Today must be used to forward the agenda.

Remembering Tucker's Friend, Kelty
Remembering by Tucker
When the sky is dark,
remember above the darkness,
it is perpetually blue.
Today, and every day is the moment to wish upon a star.
You will always be above life's pedestrian thoughts,
and each living day will be filled with passionate, rich and emotionally glorious thoughts.
Dear Kelty has soared to a height unreachable by any blue bird.
She has flown above the rainbow and beyond.
She will be perpetually in my memory,
I can only hope I will forever be etched in hers.

Tucker, the Unforgettable and Everlasting Scottish Terrier
Tucker, ever-faithful and ever-present.
His memory is ubiquitously etched in our mind.
He is serious, mellow, friendly and kind.
Nothing can keep his presence away.
We'll never find a more happy and loyal friend than Tucker.
His happy smile is always there.
Although to find it you have to look past his whiskers.
His protective bark, and his incessant curiosity shall never vanish.
Our thoughts about him always focus on the present.
His eyes are always cast upon us.
Although he cannot speak,
it is easy to discern his thoughts.
They are, as always,
warm, thoughtful, kind, loving, protective and embracing.
But, most of all they are selfless.

A Note from Tucker’s Diary
We walk early,
We walk late
Before and after sunrise
Two legs, four paws
Every day of the year.
Street lights sometimes show us the way
On occasion, the sun is too much to bear
Snow and ice are a discomfort
Not to mention the nuisance of wind and rain.
We are Paul and Tucker
Taking the journey of life
The trip homeward is always a joy
It always ends magically.

Its All About the Will
According to Tucker, the worlds greatest Scottish Terrier philosopher..."The difference between success and failure is the will not to fail."
Never, never, never underestimate yourself. Get your mind focused on the objective. At the critical moment, put one foot in front of the other; will them to move faster than those of all others.
Will your mind and body to a higher level of performance. Every day and all of the time.
The result will be consistent achievement.

Tucker's Christmas Carol for Scottish Terriers
T’was a few days before Christmas
And the oven is on,
Pat is baking her famous P-nutty bones
I await their arrival with patient anticipation.
As I rest my head on the kitchen floor,
I am thinking how we can share Pat’s delight.
My friends from near and far,
Would love to take a wee bite of the famous P- nutties.
I will help Pat bag the treats up.
For I know in my heart,
That cheer is near.
The spirit of Christmas is about celebration and cheer.
I look forward to giving my friends a bag of nutty bones.
They all will enjoy the gift this year.
It will be among my fondest of memories.
Yes, Christmas is near!!

Tucker’s Special Day
Every day is a gift.
We are thankful for the opportunity it allows.
Even if the weather is inclement,
The day can be bright.
When we are blessed with a crisp, clear, bright day,
We feel good about the journey the day will deliver.
It is not important what we did at the start.
Nor is it important what we did at the end.
It is what we did during that matters.
The totality of what we do represents our essential being.
Each day offers special opportunities.
The clouds and fog can conceal them.
We must be alert to avoid missed opportunities.
For they are special and they are not unlimited.

Tucker's Inspirational Thought of the Day
As you well know, Tucker, our indefatigable Scottish Terrier, always has something to say. This is his thought for today.
Unknown by Tucker
Never fear the unknown.
It is full of both uncertainty,
and opportunity.
Do not be discouraged,
as you gradually overcome adversity.
Keep at it, no matter how slow.
Depend upon yourself.
Others can help, but cannot do.
You are the one to make certainty from the unknown.

Paw prints all along the way.

Prance on proud Scottie.
For all to see.
And see they shall!

Every day I have dreams.
They are always alive within me.
I set out each day to achieve the possible.
Some days I surprise myself with the impossible.
Always I dream.
Always I believe.
For without belief,
there is no achievement.
I believe to live.
I live to believe.
I go forward always.
For to go back is not possible.
Keep your dreams alive with a plan.
Take action each day.
Never waver from the mission.
Succeed with determination and pride.

As soon as you leave,
you are entering another realm.
Every exit forms and entry.
Have no fear of leaving.
There are always alternatives.
Many for the better.
Some not so.
Fear none of them.
Choose the new entry wisely.
Start anew.
Enter the new.
Exit the old.
When it is time to go.
Go.

Tucker's Looking
Looking by Tucker
I am looking into you,
Not at you.
I can see within,
And through you.
I can see your character.
It is not something given.
It is something earned.
Your personal victory.
I look at your behavior each day.
In good times and bad.
What you do in difficult times,
has greater weight on your character.
I see what you do in the dark.
I observe it often.
I see a man who prevails.
A man who has great character.

Tucker's Dream
Dream by Tucker
Chase your dreams.
Our time is short.
Make the most of each and every day.
Run, chase, sprint.
The clock is running.
We do not know how many ticks are left.
Seconds are just as important as minutes.
Do not let one single dream escape.
Act on your inspiration.
Happiness may not always be the end result.
But the chase is a worthwhile effort.
Run as far and as fast as possible.
The greatest of all is the one you are still chasing.

Tucker's Wind
Wind by Tucker
With wind in your face,
there is challenge.
A calm day poses none.
Intense wind can be very destructive.
At times, it comes without warning.
A bark, no matter how loud.
Will not deter the wind from it's chore.
The key is not to get swept away.
For it happens to many.
Safe sanctuary has a grand appeal.
The strong will survive the howl.
No matter how much debris is left behind.
It must be recycled.
For to survive is but one thing.
The mark of greatness is left to those who rebuild.

Adventure by Tucker
Take a step into the unknown.
It is exhilarating.
Often, it can be dangerous.
Always, it is exciting.
Dare nothing, get nothing.
Each day is a new life.
To be reborn is to be fresh.
Go where no path exists.
Greatness comes from the bold.
Such action opens closed doors.
Through adventure, you become known.
Without it, you learn nothing.
Stare not at the water, cross it.
Gaze not at the moon, visit it.
Fear not anything, conquer it.
Be glorious through adventure.

Tucker's Travel
Travel
The day's journey is reward enough.
Each day poses a new adventure.
Each adventure brings anticipation.
With anticipation comes surprise and predicted.
Sometimes the journey is long and arduous.
Occasionally it is short and sweet.
Each begins with the smell of freshness.
Some are clouded with pollution.
Some days seem impossible.
Others are traveled with ease.
Although some days pose formidable challenges.
It is important to meet them head on.
Many adventures begin in darkness.
Others end in darkness.
The challenge is to always meet darkness with light.
Shine light on the unknown.
To do so makes the journey ever so clear.
Make every now wow.
Every minute must have meaning.
Every step must have purpose.
Every action must accomplishment.

Tucker – Best In Life
With the canine show-of-shows arriving,
Tucker is getting ready to enjoy the festivities.
Several years ago, he and I pranced through the ring.
We did so for the fun of it.
And fun it was.
Tucker instinctively got it.
He enjoyed the touch and feel of the judge.
He also relished the parade around the ring.
After all, he was and is a natural walk-the-walker.
Wherever Tucker is seen, he seems to draw a crowd.
He has the look of greatness and the action of wisdom.
His confidence and attitude are legendary.
Whether leading or following,
He is always ahead.
He is always first,
Because there is no last.
Judges melt with his stare.
They look as they have seen no other.
In their mind,
They have seen one for the ages.
In fact, they validate what we have known from the beginning.
Tucker is the best because he is loved by all.
Let the show go on for Tucker will be watching.
Scotties rock and rule no matter what the final outcome.
Just ask anyone who has ever seen Tucker.

Look man and canine right in the eye.

Tucker’s look is his will to survive.
To him, it is the first condition to victory.
Victory is a bright, warm and fuzzy day.
Or, it could be a day defined by beautiful white snow flakes.

He does so with great strength and temperament.
His will is stronger than that of man.
His eyes capture only strength.
Tucker lives and survives with honor.
He endures with dignity and honor.
His creed is family, honor, duty.
Through his look, everyone knows why.

Tucker’s Journey
Journey
The prance through life is the reward.
Nothing is more savored than the uncharted path.
Tucker is truly a traveler.
He relishes each and every day.
For Tucker, it is about the journey, not the destination.
He relishes the twists and turns along the road.
The joy for Tucker is in the doing, not the finishing.
Each day represents a series of steps along the path.
The path is somewhat uncharted.
For Tucker there is no count to the steps taken each day.
It is not about the number, it is about what is confronted along the journey.
No matter what the outcome, Tucker’s respite is the return to home each day.
As an adventurer, Tucker understands many things.
They are many more than the average canine.
His heart is fresh each and every day.
It beats with anticipation of the forthcoming journey.
For Tucker each day brings liberty.
It is the opportunity to think and act as one pleases.
Although the years add to his age.
He begins each journey as if he is a playful child.
There is no fear about the journey ahead.
There is just the eagerness to go forward.
In Tucker, the spirit burns so very bright.
He learns for the light of each and every day.

Tucker’s Today
Tucker looks at today and sees it for what it is.
To him it includes the predictable and the unanticipated.
Today shall be much of what yesterday was.
Quiet, peaceful, restful and full of nourishment.
Today is and shall be a good day.
It will include small steps forward and few steps backward.
It shall be as much of what Tucker makes of it,
And be devoid of unnerving challenges.
Part of today will be filled with frolic,
And much of it will be captured by rest and tranquility.
As the day advances,
It becomes a sequel to a previous day.
As the day nears its end,
It becomes a prelude to tomorrow.
Today is not yet tomorrow.
It has some of yesterday and more of what is to come.

Tucker on Persistence
Persistence
Life is like a marathon.
It is a long journey that requires persistence.
Stick to it long enough,
And the journey can be completed.
Never think about the end at the beginning.
At the starting line,
It is important to focus on the early stages.
Enthusiasm must be kept under control.
Keep pace within yourself.
Never lose sight of the overall goal.
The journey must be brought to completion.
For never to finish is to disappoint and fail.
Pain must be embraced in order to finish.
The journey cannot be completed without discomfort.
Fuel for the journey must be burned wisely,
And must be replenished along the way.
Persistence is needed in order to finish.
It is the spark that ignites physical and emotional strength,
The necessary ingredients to approach the finish line.
The end of the journey is a reflection of all one has done.
There is nothing that cannot be finished.
It is a matter of persistence at every check point.
No trumpets sound at the finish line.
The end is achieved silently and triumphantly.
Posted: 01/23/2008
Tucker's Success
Success is not for everyone.
Nevertheless, everyone can succeed.
Tucker succeeds where others do not.
There is no magic to his success.
All can achieve it.
But all do not.
It is there for the taking.
But many choose not.
According to Tucker, the reason is simple.
The road to success is filled with halting and painful steps.
Many choose not to endure the ordeal.
Instead, they choose not to endure pain and sacrifice.
All Scotties are born to succeed.
And, by and large, most do.
They have what most men do not.
They fear failure to much not to succeed.

For his loyalty is everlasting and endearing.
Tucker’s loyalty is not placed for momentary gain.
It is forever unconditional.
Tucker’s greatest loyalty is to himself.
He is a Scot who knows what he is about.
Living today is very important to him.
He will not sacrifice today for tomorrow.

Loyal to the point of being utterly devoted to family.
Protective to the point of never allowing harm to family.
Determined to please within reason.
Spirited to the point of always reaching for the stars.
Independent to the point of being self-reliant.
Confident to the point of rejecting uncertainty.
Defiant to the point of reluctantly accepting authority.

Tucker Has No Fear
Fear
Fear is something that cannot be avoided.
It does not take a battlefield for it to be present.
Fear can be unnerving and make one apprehensive.
It is something to be dealt with each day.
Fear grips your emotions.
It can cloud your intellectual clarity.
Fear can move one toward a state of paralysis.
Or it can challenge one’s ability to remain calm.
Fear should be met head on.
For it is better to face the unknown.
Fear can be consuming.
But do not hesitate to face it.

Days follow into weeks, months and years,
Some pass unnoticed; others shake your very emotions.
Days can be long; some can be short.
Some can be productive; others can be futile.
Days can be challenging; others can be boring,
Some drain you of energy; others fill you with ambition.
Days can offer quiet, resplendent moments,
Others can be filled with chaos and disarray.
Days can be both a measure of success or failure.
Most days offer silent unremarkable outcomes.
Days can test your very heart and soul.
They are the ones that draw spirit and character.

Tucker's Historical Perspective
Tucker is a serious student of history. He believes, unlike many of America's current decisionmakers, that history is bound to repeat itself if we do not learn from it.
Tucker realizes that there have been many great men and women in history. America today seems to be burdened with men and women of timidity and indecision. In Tucker's words..."No one man or woman is willing to take a stand against the enormous array of the world's ills."
Yet many of the world's greatest movements, of thought and action, have emanated from a single person. According to Tucker:
A young monk began the Protestant reformation.
A young general extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth.
A young woman reclaimed the territory of France.
A young explorer discovered the New World.
In America, according to Tucker, it was a 32 year-old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed that..."all men are created equal." Tucker believes that it is from the diverse and numberless acts of courage and belief that have in the past and will in the future shape the course of human history.
Where are the great men and women of today who will articulate a vision of our country's future and, by their sheer will and courage, allow the rest of us to in our diversity and many numbered acts to shape our destiny?
Where are those of us living today who are willing to heed and cherish the words of Robert Kennedy stated so many years ago..."Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream of things that never were and say why not."
Greatness as seen through the eyes of our worldly Scottish terrier, Tucker.
Every day, he acts out the R.F.K. dream. Tucker does not dream of things at all, he acts where others become fearful. He dances happily through life each day knowing that his many and diverse acts not only shape his own destiny, but profoundly affect the lives of his friends, Pat and Paul.

Tucker's Recent Speech
Before a packed audience of Olde Magoun's Saloon patrons, Tucker recently spoke about the great code of conduct and chivalry of those Scottish terriers that guard and protect their beloved human companions.
He began his remarks with three powerful words:
Spirit, Courage and Loyalty.
These are the three hallowed words that define the essence of a Scottish terrier.
As a Scottie, they teach me to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success.
They mean not to substitute barks or gestures for actions, not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress, difficulty and the challenge of each day.
Stand up in the storm, but also have compassion on those who fall.
Master yourself before you seek to master others.
Have a heart that is clean, and a goal that is high.
Learn to laugh, yet never forget how
to weep.
Reach into the future, yet never neglect the past.
Above all, be serious, yet never take yourself too seriously.
Be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness.
These three words give me a temperate will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life, a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, an appetite for adventure over love of ease.
They create in my heart the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what next, and the joy and inspiration of life. They teach me in this way to be a Scottie and a gentleman.
Thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts on the essence of my heart and soul.
Tucker received a 5 minute standing ovation from his many admirers, many of whom had never been so moved by man or small creature so profoundly.
Where are all the Tucker's of this world. They are badly needed.

Tucker Believes
I believe every day is a new beginning.
It is to sense that miracles happen,
and to believe that dreams can become reality.
To believe is to see Scotties dancing among the clouds,
and to embrace the wonder of the universe and the wisdom of Scotties in heaven.
To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within the Scotties soul.
When it comes time to begin anew,
to believe is to know that I am not alone, that life on earth is a gift and this is my time to cherish it.
To believe is to anticipate wonderful surprises for they will surely come,
and all my hopes and dreams are a paw grasp away,
if only everyone believed.

Tucker's Birthday Gift
On Thursday, October 4, I celebrated yet another of my all too many birthday's. To me the day has no special meaning, other than the fact that another year has passed on by.
However, Tucker would not let the day be anything but special, especially for himself and me. In his card to me were the following inspirational words:
Together we light up the world
For almost 10 years we have done so
Now and forever
You are always part of me
And think about all of the barks and words between us
They never needed to be spoken
Now and forever
I remember the first day we met
I remember each and every day as if the first
I have cherished all that has followed
Now and forever
I am always thinking of you
I am always admiring you
I am always trusting you
Now and forever
I enjoy celebrating with you
I so enjoy our walks together
Now and forever
You are always on my mind
You will always be
Now and forever

Tucker's Memorial Day Weekend
For many people, Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of the sun and fun season.
Tucker, being an educated Scotsman, knows the true meaning of Memorial Day. Because he is himself a "warrior," and because he is a member of a military service family, he knows that the day was originally set aside to honor the nation's Civil War dead by decorating their graves.
Since it's original observance on May 30, 1868, the original meaning and spirit of the Day has been transformed into one large backyard cookout.
The advent of an all volunteer military has deadened the memory of many in America who have not had to fight for the freedoms that so many take for granted. Tucker realizes that such freedom comes at a very high price. In fact, since the American Revolution, over 1.2 million men and women have sacrificed their lives to protect American freedom.
Tucker fully realizes what American service men and women have done for him. His room and board are provided "free of charge." When we go to fill up the car with gas, Tucker does not have to pay for the gas. He does not have to pay for his health care. His elementary and advanced education are free.
Tucker realizes that his "free ride" came with a very high price. This weekend, he will join me as we, together, Decorate the graves of America's fallen heroes.
