Meet Tucker...

I'm proud to introduce Tom Tucker Ginger Ale (aka Tuck or Tucker)! Tuck is my parents new miniature schnauzer puppy who came home to live with them a few weeks ago.

Tuck is (was) 8 weeks old and just the cutest and cuddliest little critter. He was overwhelmed with Macie at first but begin to assert his dominance by the time we were leaving that weekend.

Mom said he'd doing well and exactly what she was looking for in RC's absence. Her favorite time of day is after she brings him back in after his morning break and he dives into bed with my dad and nuzzles into his neck (often times wet and covered in snow!)

The tradition in my family is to name dogs after soda pop. We've had Pepsi, Faygo, Shasta, Ginger and RC. Mark and I broke that tradition with Macie but my parents carried on.

Tom Tucker Ginger Ale is a staple of my childhood. Any time we were sick my mom would stir a glass of that stuff until it was flat and feed it to us to calm our stomachs. That was perhaps my most favorite part of being sick.
