Tucker Tape Parade


This is our new pup, Tucker. He's twelve weeks old in this video taken today. I wanted to email this to my daughter, Jessica, in West Virginia, but the file is too large. Hopefully I can link this to the email I send her so she can see how he has grown. We got him at eight weeks old. He is a real pisser! Very intelligent and sensitive. I took him for a walk in our woods today and he just loved it.

The video was shot on a Canon Power Shot A590 digital camera. It's a little darker than I'd like. It was taken inside on a gloomy day and there are no movie lights on this little digital camera.
It's pretty good for a digital camera, though.

Tucker's ears have just started to stand up in the last week. They still have a ways to go, but they're pretty sharp. He's funny when he tries to scoot around the house. He's very clumsy and not real fast. His huge paws sound like a little horse romping through the rooms.

My wife, Patti, was sweeping the floor today and Tucker kept grabbing the broom. She said, "He doesn't bother the vacuum cleaner when I use that." My daughter, Lisa, said, "So, just make a noise like a vacuum cleaner while you sweep." Patti did just that, he gave her a funny look and didn't touch the broom once. What goes through his mind?!?

He's a real good boy!
