This is my Labrador/Dalmation mix puppy Tuk.  His name is short for tuxedo because he has white fur in the shape of a "V" on his chest and white at the ends of paws like shirt cuffs. It is very hard to get a good picture of him though, because he is nearly always in motion!  He is two years old and still thinks he is small enough to sit in my lap -- he's 80 lbs!

     Tuk is the greatest pet in the world - he adores me and only wants to be near me.  He bows to me every night when I come home from work (maybe he's just stretching) and loves to play fetch.  I've tried to tire him out, but he'll just keep playing -- I've never outlasted him.

     When I'm trying to study or watch television, Tuk will run to the bedroom and begin to bring me each of his toys, one at a time, and plop them in my lap.  His very last toy is his big blue blanket; he drags it along beside him and when he finally gets it out into the open, he shakes it back and forth until he thinks it is dead.  He's my best friend.

Hugs,

Angel
