Named after the Teutul family from the OCC boys of American Chopper fame, Tut came into our home & lives on Superbowl Sunday, 2004, the day the Patriots beat the Panthers!
You see, Teutul was originally a foster named Tigger (yes, you can say it out loud... a dog named Tigger?). He stole our hearts and we obviously failed at our first ever attempt at fostering (which may be why we waited 3 years to give it a shot again!). Tigger was just not fitting at all and I had wanted to name him Brady, however Matt said he wasn't going to have a Tom Brady dog... so I said what about Mikey? Matt thought for a minute... then replied "only if he's Mikey Teutul." And, Teutul stuck. Tut for short.... though he prefers King Tut.
Tut is a great little guy, even if a somewhat nervous nelly that always wants to be the center of attention. He likes to continually annoy the heck out of Mommy while she tries to knit help Mom's creativity...
Sometimes he's my relucatant model...
He loves romping & wrestling with his foster brothers & sisters, though is always a pain in the arse quick to let them know that he is the baby of the house... and although he loves having houseguests as much as the rest of us, I think he's really kind of proud when they go to their forever homes!
He's a fireball of energy ... a dorky dog of sorts with many quirks (we chalk it up to his Southern roots, lol) ... complete lovebug ... and if you're not paying attention, he'll attack you with kisses!
Happy Birthday baby boy!
Time for some resting, before cake tonight! I'll get to posting the Halloweeny pics tomorrow (we got Tut a "Tricks for Treats" t-shirt that he modeled and then let Sophie try on!)...
What a cutie!!! Happy Birthday Teutul!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Dogs on Thursday!!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Tut! If you were here, Mugsy would give you one - just one! - of his new favorite treat, the dried sweet potato chips from Fosters & Smith's...

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Tut! Milo sends his sincerest best wishes for many more to come. I absolutely adore your doggy posts. They just make my day, and I can feel the love all the way. Just brings a huge smile to my face, and makes me want to kiss every one of your kids.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Tut!!! You enjoy that cake. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I could never foster a dog. Once a dog comes here - it stays forever.
Oh what a precious boy! Happy Birthday Tut from you pal in VT, Murphy. BTW when I adopted Murphy at age 1, her name was "Lady". She burped at me when we met so I knew then she was no lady. ;-} Changed that name pronto.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great doggie! I esp. love the last shot :0
