We took the pooch back to the Hooch (Georgia slang for the Chattahoochee River) this morning where he had a grand ole time.

He was romping and racing –

And lunging and chasing –

Darting and dashing –

And spraying and splashing –

Watching and waiting and anticipating.

Of course, Tucker wasn’t the only pup at the park –

So was Argo –

And Scout –

And Benson –

And a whole host of other canine companions.

Sometimes there was a bit of a toy swap which always makes things more fun.

Okay, so I’m pretty sure my toddler stole the stick from another dog (which explains his gleeful expression)  but swap makes it sound nicer! Besides, he was happy to share his toys too.

When you see the joy in this fellow when he gets near water there is no room for doubt that Lab makes up most of his mixture.

And when it was time to say goodbye and head back home…

…Tucker was indeed tuckered out!
