Hi friends. Finally - it’s Tucker Tuesday!
I’m going to get what mama calls “feela’soft’tickle” today. Mama says all the hearts and candy in the world this month are here because people celebrate love in “Febiary”, but I wondered what that means and why there is a month to celebrate something we feel all the time. I heard on the picture box one day that the world needs more love, and that didn’t make any sense to me because with all the puppies in the world how could there possibly be any more love, but then I realized… maybe you guys don’t know love like we know love! So here’s what love is, from a puppy’s point of view. Love is… …going to sleep knowing when you wake up your people will be there to snuggle you. …making a booboo on the floor and trying really hard to do better because you know it makes your people happy when you do a good-boy thing. …when daddy gets the cold rocks out of the freezer and lets the thingie run a little longer so extra rocks will fall on the floor for you to chase and bite and play with. …barking like the dickens when “oven puppy” shows up because you want to make sure mama and daddy are safe. …bringing mama your monkey when she’s on the couch ready for snuggles. …racing down the steps when daddy gets home because he hasn’t seen you all day and must be missing you something awful. …licking the kitty in the ears because she can’t reach them to lick them herself. …waking mama up at 2am so she doesn’t have to clean piddle off the rug at 6am. …sharing your chewy with your people because they share their snacks with you. …waiting for hours and hours for your people to come home because you know how happy they will be to see you. …kissing tears out of your person’s eyes when they have a sad thing. …having someone who looks at you the way I’m looking at mama in this picture. Love isn’t that hard, these are things every puppy comes equipped knowing how to do. Mama read me a story one day about a little girl whose puppy dog went away to Rainbow Bridge. The girl’s mama and daddy tried to explain to her why dogs don’t stay on earth as long as people, and the little girl said she already knew why. She said “God put us all here to learn how to love the way He loves. Puppies already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long as we do.” The story made mama cry, and I think it’s because she knows it’s harder for people to love like that. I can tell ya, loving people that way takes some practice, but it sure is worth it. So hopefully you had some love to celebrate this month. If you need some more you can always come back to this picture, I’m pretty sure it’s what love looks like. But what do I know, I’m just a puppy. Love – for real… Tucker PS – yesterday I turned 6 months old. That’s half a year! Mama says I act like a teenager and I don’t know exactly what that means but it makes her laugh so I’ll try to keep doing it for a while!
