Tucker's last summer

Our white Siberian Husky, Tucker, was diagnosed with cancer, hemangiosarcoma, to be exact, on March 19, 2008. Because of the aggressive, uncurable nature of this disease, we had to let him go on to the Rainbow Bridge on July 5, 2008. This will be a temporary place for memories of our buddy, Tucker.

Tucker came to us from the Polaris Siberian Husky Rescue in Fort Collins, CO on June 30, 2001. One of the last special events that he was able to enjoy was a small "gotcha day" celebration on June 30, 2008.

Dave, I've read your posts about Tucker since I joined Sumner almost a year ago, but it is really nice to finally see him---what a gorgeous boy, and SO full of humor and personality! thanks for the photos, Kristin

Hi Dave,

What a lovely tribute to your beautiful boy. He went to Heaven twice. Once was when he found you :-)

Dave, you always write about Tucker with such passion. I can understand why, when I look at this pictorial. What a great guy!

What a beautiful boy - your Tucker. What a wonderful tribute to him to post these pictures. I have a Tucker too. He's a 9 yr old black lab and he is still fighting. I hope your heart is healing and that all the memories make you smile. Ceil and Tucker ( HSA and spleenectomy 1/22/09) and Pearl.

What a wonderful way to honor an incredible and beautiful dog! Sherri & Daisy (diagnosed HSA & completed her first chemo on 9/9/08). Praying for a cure for all our dear 4-legged family members.

Dave,
Tucker what a beautiful boy. He looks quite happy in his pictures. What a lucky boy to have had you to love him. HSA is a shock when we find out about it. I lost my German Shepard Mr. Brutus in January to this evil disease. All we can do in their memory is get the word out to others about this. We have a candle lit for your family & for Tucker to find his way on the bridge.
