I had never had pets before (aside from a turtle and a hamster) and it seemingly came out of the blue to some people who know me to just up and get Tucker (although I had researched for a long time unbeknownst to them) . When people asked me why I got a dog I told them that (1) I had always wanted a Yorkie from the time I met my friend's old guy Toby more than 10 years ago and (2) I was experiencing serious baby fever and the husband and I are just not in a place to have a baby right now so I got the next best thing. I guess I do baby Tucker although I didn't really see it as being exceptional since I have never had a dog before and for me the indulgent things I do are the norm so I wasn't sure what people were referring to when they used the expression "treated just as a dog." Tucker is definitely my little boy...and who would have thought it...I always said I wanted girls!
