We both hit snooze a few times this morning but he needed some extra coaxing to get out of bed. 🥱

If you don’t like to be alone in the kitchen… adopt an Aussie.❤️🐾

He’s so happy it’s Friday, he’s smiling in his sleep.🐾

It’s his Gotcha Day! Two years with this little nugget.🐾

We just love weekend walks in this quaint little river town.🐾

What a beautiful morning for a walk by the water.🐾

Tucker likes to check in for snacks during our walks.🐾

My co-worker may be misinterpreting “casual Friday”. He spent the first 10 minutes of his workday deciding whether to lay on the couch or in the sunroom. Productivity went down from there.🐾

I swear all I did was *think* about a snack and he appeared looking so full of hope.

Luckily, we had booked separate sessions as well. Just a little photoshopping and we have a winner!

My sister and I thought it would be a good idea to get a holiday photo of all three of our pups. The session was hilarious and only two of the dogs cooperated enough to actually be in the photos. We’ll have a better plan next year. Here are the two most “usable” shots.😂🎄

Respectfully, he would appreciate a serving of kibble before any further coffee preparation this morning. 🐾

Cold and rain call for indoor snoopervising. 🐾

I don’t think this guy will want to patrol in the morning. It was 45 F during his morning neighborhood watch today. Will be 31 F this evening and 24 F when we wake up tomorrow.🥶

Tucker had a Christmas photo shoot today. He was overly excited so many of the photos look like the second one, I’m sure.😂

I didn’t think it was possible. But my Friday coworker seems to have become even less productive.🐾

Pretty day for it! 🐾🍂

They’re here! I always look forward to receiving the new Christmas card collection from Iain Welch each year. I just can’t decide whether to gift them to friends and family or frame them.🐾 iain-welch-art-and-design.myshopify.com/collections/...

Tucker and I explored our new neighborhood park today. Pretty place for a few sniffs!

Tucker’s daycare knew it was his first time boarding. So they spent time with him each day practicing a few of his favorite tricks(his favorite activity). Loved seeing his little tail wag in the videos they sent. He was showcasing his specialty “spin” in this one.🥹🐾

Just picked this sweet boy up after boarding him for the first time. I think he’s forgiven me. Missed him so much!

My guard dog (Timelapse - 1/7)…

After several delectable courses, the gentleman wonders if there will be any dessert after breakfast?

This guy is cracking me up. We’ve had a stormy morning. Every little noise had this security guard barking. I finally closed the shutters but he still fell asleep trying to patrol from the couch. The rain let up but he looks so comfortable now I’ll delay our walk for a few more mins. 🥱🐾

When the neighborhood needs supervision but you’re overdue for a nap.🐾

You know he’s tired when he eats his dinner like this.🐾

Amazon is delivering next door. So, of course, he has to snoopervise.🐾

Yep. He’s back.🐾

After several days of feeling not quite like himself, Tucker let me know this morning that he was ready to go back to daycare.🐾

I think this goober is feeling a little better. But he did exit the room for a nap in his crate after these shenanigans.🐾

Tucker had a bad reaction to his vaccines on Friday. Feeling better today, but he’s zapped. So no daycare for this guy today. He’s been waking up from naps for indoor patrol. Hopefully he’ll be 100% by tomorrow.🐾

Such a dramatic sleeper today.🐾

I missed a turn today and pulled into a gravel driveway to turn around. These sweet beings were such a lovely surprise. Tucker was fascinated.🐾

Tired and content.🐾

Delivery people are already antagonizing him at the new place.

He slept in this morning after his first night in a new house. He never sleeps in. So much excitement over these last few days. He settled in nicely.🐾

How yesterday started / how it ended. And in between he was “The Tornado”.🐾

He doesn’t realize it, but this is one of his final driveway patrol sessions in the neighborhood he has so dutifully protected.🥹

At his core, Tucker wants to be helping in any way he can at all times. He’s often just a little misguided. It was a beautiful day, and Tucker was unbothered when I told him he was sitting on the box containing a shelving unit - our project for the day. (🧵1/5)…

Tucker is fairly new to climbing the stairs. He’s had a few hits and misses as he learns to control his speed. Here we have the mostly bunny hop approach. (A 🧵1/3)…

For those who were concerned that Tucker wouldn’t have neighbors to snoopervise… he can see the whole neighborhood from here. He doesn’t realize it yet, but he’ll be able to conduct neighborhood watch from the covered porch instead of the garage floor, as well. It’s a snoopervisor’s dream.🐾

No better way to familiarize yourself with a new neighborhood than a good sniff.🐾

I could see these two going into business together one day. 1-800-GOT-SHEEP?

Tucker will do anything to get the big dogs to play. He zooms as fast as possible then swerves at the last minute. And every chance he gets, he bamboozles them with his tunnel moves.🐾

I never like to leave Tucker. But he loves his cousins so much!

I think he means business with this after dinner pupsicle request.

I took Tucker for a ride to see our new house tonight. His favorite parts were cows and cornfields. He’s a farm dog at heart.🐾

He was up at 4:45 and refused to let anyone stay in bed. We took our morning walk mostly in the dark. He fell asleep during his daily neighborhood watch session. And now he’s snoring while I chug coffee and start the work day. Sigh…

Three Musketeers 🐾🐾🐾

Heading home after a few beautiful days in Colorado, capped by an evening with Brandi Carlile at Red Rocks. This little guy has been loving time with his cousins, Ozzy and Wylie. 🐾
