Yesterday I found our neighbor's dog, Tucker, wandering around the ally without his collar. This is not an unusual sight as Tucker is a chronic escapee... poor guy just doesn't like being cooped up. But, what with the pack of wild dogs terrorizing the neighborhood, it's a tough life out there for a collarless dog, and so we're holding Tucker captive in our back yard until our neighbor's return home at the end of the weekend.
Just look at him... isn't he gorgeous? He's a chow/labrador mix and moves like a lion. These pictures really don't do him much justice.

I don't care how big the puppy dog eyes... when a dog's sole claim to fame is smashing through pane glass windows to freedom, I'm just not going to let him stay inside.



Fiona may be small, but she is not easily intimidated.


Fiona doesn't get much canine social interaction.... because she's a dominant terror with a Napoleon complex. I don't blame her... it's a hard life for us kids with stubbly legs.


It doesn't take long before Tucker bows to her obvious superiority... or maybe she just annoys him into submission. Fiona for the win!

Awe... my husband's childhood dog (who lived long enough for me to meet him) was a lab/chow mix. Sweetest dog ever!

Cute pics.

He is pretty fantastic! We'll miss having him around though I'm glad he won't have to spend another chilly night outside. Turns out he jumped through a window again. I have a feeling it won't be the last time we see him out and about.
