While we were on our walk, we practiced commands. The last video is my favorite, because Sparky follows orders until he doesn’t.

I put out a Costco Cheeto to see how he liked it. I did not expect him to react like this.

Where the hell did this come from?
Yesterday evening, Sparky and I sat out in the cool damp for a while. It was so pleasant, I thought about getting out my pipe.

Sparky didn’t want to talk this morning, and thought we should spend the time in quiet contemplation. I think he just took a nap.

Trump has everybody all wee-wee’ed up. For some reason, a million people are taking to the streets in Iran, so the government shut down the electrical grid and internet. Elon Musk turned the internet back on using satellites so the protestors can get back to social media. I wish them all well, but I’ve got my own problems.

Max has potential.
Sparky likes him because, “He is not good with small animals or chickens.” He says Max sounds like a sensible fella.

Sparky found 2001: A Space Odyssey a little boring.

While in the camper today, I was reminded that the wood stove is a campfire in a box. I grabbed the pie iron, but waited until Sparky had eaten dinner to make a pie with apple pie filling and a chunk of dark chocolate.
Sparky doesn’t beg or whimper for food, or try to snatch it. His polite and courteous manner makes him unbearably sympathetic.

Sparky is a fierce snow dog.
He looks like a gremlin that someone fed after midnight.

Sparky said that he likes your chances in 2026. This is the year you should get after it.
Sparky predicts it.
