Hi! I’m Tux.

Big Guy says this is a website.

I think it’s more like a really big backyard.

Come sniff around.

TUX Hi-koos

Sometimes I have a whole report.

Sometimes I only need three lines.

A TUX Hi-koo is my very short version of life at ankle level — one small observation, one puppy-sized question, and usually something Big Guy is doing that doesn’t make much sense.

New ones appear regularly.

The TUX Report

Every week, I help Big Guy write a new report from down here at ankle level.

I tell you what I’ve been learning about Big Guy, Mama, hoo-mans, dogs, moving beds, strange noises, snacks, walks, weather, and all the other things nobody bothered to explain before I got here.

Some weeks I figure things out.

Some weeks I have more questions.

Either way, I’ll report back.

Meet Big Guy

He writes stories about funny things on Substack.
I test his patience.
We’re both pretty good at our jobs.

If you need a laugh, maybe you should read his stories

Meet Mama

She gives treats.
Big Guy says ā€œthat’s enoughā€.
Mama disagrees.

She also buys lots of stuff and sells it on Etsy and wraps it up. I eat the paper. She says I’m a Big helper.

Look at all the stuff Mama has to sell.
