Hi there, friends! How’s the week going for ya so far?
Things around here are about to pick up and get a bit more crazy for me. As some of you might know, my college is on the quarter system, so I am constantly being bombarded with midterms and falling behind in classes, even if just a little, will screw you over since the pace is so fast. It’s week 8, which means that the next big wave of work is rushing my way. I’m going to keep this post short and sweet since I have an essay to finish and a genetics midterm to study for, but I couldn’t help but write up a quick post about the new puppy that Kyle’s family got over the weekend.
Meet Tucker, aka the cutest, squirmiest, most lovable little black lab you’ll ever meet. He is a champion cuddler and plays so hard that he gets plain “tuckered” out 😉 . This pup can go from running (more like waddling) around chasing all of his toys to asleep and passed out in a corner in 10 seconds flat. So so so so cute and I’m dying over that face AHHHHHHHH <3.
And guess who thought of the name? ME. I joke that, since I named their new dog, I must be officially part of his family hahah! Anyways, we drove back to our hometown from Santa Barbara to meet the little booger and just had the most amazing, smile-filled weekend ever. It breaks my heart to know that we won’t be back for another four weeks! Luckily, Kyle’s mom is sending in daily updates/photos to help with the major pulpy withdrawals I’ve been having.
Kyle’s family just lost their old yellow lab, Shadow, about a year ago and have been hesistant about getting another dog. After hearing about a new litter of puppies from some family friends who were getting their first dog, though, the puppy-bug hit them again and they decided to get one of the brothers. They have the perfect house and backyard for a puppy (complete with a barn, chickens to chase and befriend/horse riding trails to explore) and Kyle’s mom is the most amazing animal caretaker you’ll ever meet. Tucker is going to have such a happy life!
And on the note of cute animals, I also was hired to photograph a family in the neighborhood and it just so happens that they have some baby bunnies. You guys, I was greeted at the door when I arrived with a basket of insanely fluffly and soft baby bunnies. SOMEONE PINCH ME. What is life right now 😯 .
Andddd it’s time for me to get back to work. Thanks for reading my semi-incoherent puppy ramblings 😉 .

OH MY GOD he’s so cute. Pups are a lot of work, but they are so darn cute and so worth it. Good thing you’re part time owner so you can see him frequently now 😉 Good luck with exams love!

Oh my goodness – those eyes!! Baby animal eyes just get me every time. If I had a dog, I would totally give into whatever they wanted every time they looked at me. Can’t wait to hear about you rocking your exams!

Thanks Peggy! We love him! For my latest photos (over the last month or so) I’ve been using a D750 Nikon with a 50mm f/1.4 lens :).

He is soon freakin’ cute!! I’m a bit partial to labs because those are my family’s dog of choice! And here comes another wave of puppy fever! Excellent pictures too!
Jackie says
AHHHHH this post just made me so happy!! Tucker is so adorable, and apparently, very photogenic. It’s hard to avoid the feeling of puppy fever when you have a void in the family. So happy for Kyle and family

Christine, I do not know how you survive on the quarter system! It seems so chaotic and I’m amazed at how quickly everything goes for you! Things go by so fast on the semester system, so I cannot even imagine what it is like over at SB.
The photo of Tucker mid-run is AMAZING. I couldn’t help but break out into a wide grin when I saw it.
