Welcome to Misha & Tucker's Page!

Pet Comments: [Misha] I had a great time playing during the day, and it was wonderful seeing Molly Brown, Lanai and Roscoe again...my buddies! I enjoyed letting Molly Brown know that I liked playing ball too and could teach her many things just like Lanai.

In the cool of the mornings, Jessie and the kids would take us out in the country and walk us all on leash. I did my little dance when I was excited which always had them laughing. I was so proud of myself! Tucker went with me so it was great having my brother along as well.

The countryside is beautiful despite not being able to run off-leash. I had a great time!

[Tucker] I met so many new friends and friends that Misha already had established. It was great fun and I was pleasantly surprised as I had never been with Misha when she went on her excursions.

I found that Jessie and her family loved me just as much as I came to enjoy their company. Of course, I missed my Mom & Dad but being taken care of by another family who truly loved me, was something special and something that I was thankful for.

I too went on walks with Misha and the other dogs on leash. Jessie and her kids all walked us and I found myself smiling the whole time just from hearing all of their laughter, which never seemed to cease!

Pet Comments: "It was great to see everyone again! We really enjoyed playing with the puppy, Wrigley. He has a lot to learn and we were happy to help show him what to do and what not to do.

The walks in the country were cool too!"

Pet Sitter Comments: It was awesome having the fur-kids over with us again! Every opportunity that we have to see them, is a gift for us!

Pet Comments: [Misha:] Wow! It was a celebration for sure when we arrived to the house! Molly Brown, Roscoe and the entire family were so happy to see us! We went outside and played ball a lot. I offered up a lot of fancy poses as Aunt Jess was taking pictures ;) She loves it when I do that!

[Tucker:] Oh my gosh! Grandpa and Grandma were home when we arrived. It was cool to see them because I get whatever I want: I get a ton of love and attention which is my favorite thing. The treats came out, the balls were thrown and tons of love was being spread around the moment we arrived. It was awesome to come back again to see our home away from home.

Pet Sitter Comments: I can't tell you how happy everyone (dogs and humans alike) were to see Misha and Tucker. They are so integrated into our family and just like our own. They were welcomed with open arms, treats and tons of play.

I want to bring to your attention that Misha's left eye looks to be hemorrhaged on the outer part of it (far left side of the left eye). Her left ear looks like it was scraped by a bush or something too (it was scabbed over and didn't look to be more than a couple of days old) so I'm thinking that maybe the eye got scratched as well? I'm keeping a close eye on it and will be in touch with Brooks Bloomfield if it gets worse. She isn't bothered by it and her vision is great so I'm not alarmed at this point, just watchful :) Just wanted to bring it to your attention so that you could be abreast of it.

Tucker is doing great and all is well! We went on a two mile pack walk in the country and Tucker and Misha both just had a blast!

They send their love and kisses to Mom & Dad.

Oh! I'll be sending you some videos as well so that you can see them in action.

Pet Comments: [Misha:] Every day is a jam-packed day full of fun! I love it and especially love the warm weather. I thought I would miss the snow but so far, I haven't. It's so nice to be back at my home away from home. I help Jessie get the kids up every day for school and though she doesn't need my help with the pack, I interject every so often anyway. What I love most is all of the hugs and kisses; I never can get enough!

[Tucker:] Well, what can I say...I'm the well-respected guy around here. Everyone loves to give me hugs and kisses too which works for me. Some of Jessie's family have also made comments that I look like her Phoenix. I don't know who Phoenix was but it's all good. Jessie loves to cook too so my second favorite place in the house is now the kitchen. Every time I look up at her, she'll hug and kiss me on the top of my head. Hmm..not EXACTLY what I was wanting (food is what I'm usually aiming for) but hey...hugs will work too.

Pet Sitter Comments: Misha and Tucker are doing great. They both eat fantastic and love to GO. Anywhere I go, they want to go of course so I take them :)

They're favorite thing to do so far (when not hanging out in the kitchen looking for morsels of goodies) is walking in the country. We watch Tucker closely during our walks because of his age and the change in altitude.

We are also watching Misha closely to make sure that her eye heals. If it doesn't heal by Monday, I'll be taking her in to the clinic to make sure that it's nothing serious or requires medical attention. The instructions came from Shannon at Brooks Bloomfield's office in Truckee. It's nothing serious and still isn't bothering her but they suggested that she be seen if her eye doesn't clear up within a few days.

They both send love and hugs to Mom & Dad!

Pet Comments: [Misha:] Today, I had fun walking with Jessie, Lanai and Tucker around the neighborhoods. I have to say, I wasn't impressed with town walking. I can't speak for Tucker though who seemed to be enjoying it. I think I was shining today when I was monitoring play out in the backyard. I know that Jessie has everything under control but I always like to interject my two cents worth from time to time.

[Tucker:] Today was another fun day for me! There's always something going on from walks to trips to doing errands. It's fun and my middle name, you know, is "Go!". If Jessie wants to go ANYWHERE, I'm there with my tail wagging. She lets me ride in the front seat too :)

Pet Sitter Comments: They both continue to do just great!

Pet Comments: [Misha:] We've had a great last few days because they've been packed full of energy-releasing activities. Saturday, we went hiking up in Truckee with the pack, as well as, the family. It was great fun! I got to fetch sticks...as many as I wanted too.

Sunday, we just rested--whew!

Monday, we went searching for new places to hike and found one. It was so much fun and it also had water for swimming. I had a blast. I just swam and swam all that I wanted too.

I can't wait to find out what we're doing next!

[Tucker:] Holy Cow! I'm exhausted but at least I've had a great time! That hike on Saturday was a blast even though I wasn't taken off-leash. Maybe that was a good thing in disguise because I don't think I could've kept up with all of that running that Misha and the others were doing.

Monday, we got to check out new places and that was fun too. I love to ride in the truck too. It's fun not knowing where we're going and not caring either because wherever we end-up, I know that it'll be fun.

Pet Sitter Comments: The dogs are having a great time and we're having a great time with them. They just love to go and go.
