Looking for Tucker- found!!

No *real* post today.. I’m in a sad mood and have been in a bit of a funk.

No run this morning- I looked at my planner last night to see that I had an early appt so I quickly texted my friend to cancel

some other things

and my family’s dog, Tucker has been missing since this morning.

Tucker

He’s a cinnamon lab and my parents got him the same year I got Bella. They grew up together and have been good buddies since they were puppies. He’s the reason why Bella is convinced she’s a lab.

He’s an amazing, amazing dog,

Me and tuck

and it’s going to storm tonight… I’m worried about him.

If you’re in the Tucson area, please keep your eyes open. Fingers crossed they find him or get a phone call soon <3

xoxo

Edited to say: TUCKER HAS BEEN FOUND! As soon as this post went up, my friend Carrie found him. The power of social media is an amazing thing. Thank you so much for all of the kind wishes- he’ll be home safely tomorrow <3

    I posted on Facebook to you too, but just in case. Could this be him? I’m sorry to get your hopes up if not, but I saw your post and went to Craigslist and this guy was picked up today.

    Wow, I was all ready to get very worried and then I saw he is found! SO, SO pleased. Animals really are members of the family. If any of my crazies went missing, I’d be devasted.

  32. Georgia on August 21, 2012 at 11:09 am

    I can’t imagine how scary that was – glad to hear he’s coming home! What a sweetie, labs are amazing dogs.

  33. Sarabell on August 21, 2012 at 11:14 am

    Aw, I love the picture of you dancing with him! So glad you found him!!

  34. Jen on August 21, 2012 at 11:24 am

    I’m so glad you guys found Tucker! Between him being lost and this morning’s post on Meals and Miles about her family’s dog Scooby, my poor mascara can’t take any more today!

  35. Jess on August 21, 2012 at 11:25 am

    So glad everything worked out and he was found. Hopefully that made your day a lot better! Sending love your way, xoxo!

  36. Nicole on August 21, 2012 at 11:26 am

    So glad Tucker was found safe and sound – I know I would be a nervous wreck if my pup ran off. He is a big dog, like Tucker, and I thought I’d share the collar we bought for him a couple years ago: http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/44586?feat=collar-SR0&page=personalized-web-collar Since he’s so big and is a super-wiggly-friendly guy, it’s very hard to read his little ID tag. Also, my mom was watching him for us once and accidentally clipped his leash into the little ring that holds the tags and they snapped right off and he shot off down the driveway. If he hadn’t come right back there would be no way for anyone to know who he belonged to. Not good! So now he wears a collar with his name and my cell phone number printed right on it (he is also microchipped). It’s very easy for others to read and gives me the peace of mind that if he were to go missing someone would be able to contact me.

  37. Jen on August 21, 2012 at 11:34 am

    Thank GOD Tucker is safe and sound!!

  38. Brittany on August 21, 2012 at 11:38 am

    some people hate social networking but I think that it can be really helpful when you need it!

  39. Teri on August 21, 2012 at 11:58 am

    I’m SO glad he was found!!! It’s very hard to have a pet go missing. Give him a big hug when you see him 🙂

  40. Ellie @ healthy belly ellie on August 21, 2012 at 12:09 pm

    YAYYYYYYYYYY! SO HAPPY HE IS FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooo

  41. Sam @ Better With Sprinkles on August 21, 2012 at 12:14 pm

    So glad you found him!!

  42. Paige @ Your Trainer Paige on August 21, 2012 at 12:50 pm

    I am SO SO SO glad you found him! 🙂 My heart hurt for ya earlier 🙁

  43. Sonia the Mexigarian on August 21, 2012 at 12:59 pm

    Yay! I am so glad he was found and is coming home to the family safe and sound!

    Mircochipping is a safe bet, if he ever gets out collarless or loses his collar, the clinics can scan between his shoulder blades and his owner info would come up. It’s definetly worthwile.

  44. Stacy on August 21, 2012 at 9:39 pm

    Thank goodness!! I lost my lab for 2 days and my husband and I drove streets the entire time before I found him late afternoon on the 2nd day. I was so happy to see him that I didn’t care about covering up my car seats. I just let him jump right in! Glad you found him!

  45. Jonathon's Fitness on August 21, 2012 at 9:59 pm

    Holy cow! This is a great story. Cannot wait to share with my Social/Media nerds tomorrow at work. Glad Tucker is okay 🙂

  46. Suz on August 22, 2012 at 10:44 am

    Glad your pup was found and will be safely home!
