Sort of a sad story. As you all know, Tucker has a brain tumor and just finished chemo two weeks ago. What you don't know about him is that he is a rescue dog with some serious emotional baggage. We are his 6th home, and we got him when he was 3...he is now almost 8. He is a joy around people, but can have a hair trigger around other dogs. He is the type that gets defensive and will not back down. We have tried to rehabilitate him to no avail. So yesterday when I brought Tilly home, she and Albert had a love fest. But Tucker was wary of her. It was very stressy for him, too. It all came down to my feeling that I could not trust him. If he hurt her, I could not live with that. After having a panic-meltdown over it, this morning, I returned her. The breeder understands completely. Love her, though. And when Tucker passes, she will join our family.
