Tanya Tucker's Ranch Life: Where The Animals Reign Supreme

Let me tell you a story about country music legend Tanya Tucker and her love affair with animals. It seems like her Texas ranch has transformed into an animal sanctuary, and her boyfriend, Craig Dillingham, is struggling to keep up. Sources close to the couple exclusively told Closer all about it.

Tanya Tucker's Chickens Are More Than Pets—They're Family

According to an insider, Tanya treats her chickens like they’re her own kids. Each chicken has its own name, and they’re free to roam around the house as if it’s their own personal playground. Can you imagine walking into your living room and finding a chicken lounging on the couch? That’s exactly what Craig is dealing with, and let’s just say he’s not thrilled about it.

From Chickens to Dogs: The Ranch Is a Pet Paradise

But it doesn’t stop with the chickens. Tanya’s ranch is also home to stray dogs she’s taken in and puppies she’s babysitting for friends and family. The place is a veritable pet paradise, with animals running around everywhere. If you’re an animal lover, this sounds like heaven. But if you’re Craig, it might feel more like a zoo.

And let’s not forget about Tanya’s beloved horses. She loves them so much that she’d probably let them inside if she could get away with it. Can you picture a horse walking through your living room? I’m guessing Craig isn’t ready for that level of animal integration.

Recently, Tanya even posted a video of herself giving two of her chickens, Loretta Hen and Tanya Clucker, a bath in the kitchen sink. That’s right, folks—her chickens are getting the royal treatment in the same sink where she probably washes her dishes. It’s all part of Tanya’s unique way of life, but it’s definitely not for everyone.

Craig’s Struggle to Keep Up with Tanya’s Animal Love

As you can imagine, Craig isn’t exactly loving the close quarters with all these animals. The insider says it’s getting to be too much for him. The fur is flying everywhere, and it’s becoming overwhelming. Craig is trying to convince Tanya not to take in any more pets, but when you’re as passionate about animals as Tanya is, that’s easier said than done.

Tanya and Craig, both 65, have known each other since they were 13. They finally started dating in 2019, but now Craig has to share Tanya’s affection with her entire menagerie. It’s a lot to handle, and it’s definitely testing their relationship. But who knows? Maybe Craig will come around and learn to love the animals as much as Tanya does.
