Happy Birthday, Tucker Bear!

My Schmuckers turns 5 today! I can't believe it's been that long since I brought him home, but I can't imagine my life without him.  He is quirky, funny, playful, snuggly, dumb as rocks, and smart as hell.  He keeps us entertained and on our toes, and our family is not complete without his fuzzy little nubbin wedged between us.  Call me crazy, but I love this little dog to bits.

From the first day I brought him home, he's been a joy to have in the family.  And damn, but he's stinking cute too. 

Can't believe my baby dog is all growed up and middle aged now. 

We'll be celebrating tonight, of course.  We've been telling him for a week that his birthday was coming up, so he has high expectations: a walk outside, his favorite dinner, a new toy, and ample belly scratches.  Some things never change - he is such a diva. 

I can't imagine how he got to be that way.

So happy birthday, Tucker Bear Banana-face!  Thanks for being so kickass!

AND I'M GONNA GET THAT TUMMY!!!
