Tucker's HalloweenHello Boys and Girls!

     I was a Big Red HUSKER for Halloween!  I wore a football shirt.  When children came to our door we gave them juice and cheesy crackers!  I barked everytime someone knocked on our door.  It was a fun night for me!  Tell me about your night.

                                                                                                       Love, Tucker
