I hold Sparky in high regard, but sometimes, he seems like just a pretty face.

When we went outside for our walk, these three deer were wandering by.  I said, “Rabbit!” to flip his switch into hunter-pursuit mode.  They strolled about 40 yards before Sparky even looked in their direction.  Sparky decided to take me very literally, and wasn’t interested.

Sparky talks big, but now I’m wondering if chasing rabbits is a charade.  Sure, he’ll eat any baby bunnies he finds. but what would he do if he caught a rabbit?
