Sparky doesn’t do turkey treats.

We went to Menards to pick up a couple of pieces of aspen wood for the headboard.  I was being nice by picking up a bag of dog treats for Sparky.

Sparky made gagging sounds and said, “thunder chicken chow?  bleh!”

I guess a thunder chicken is a turkey.  The irony is if that if Sparky found turkey shit in the woods, he’d probably slurp it up like a jello shot.  Probably.  He really likes goose shit.

These treats are from Blue Buffalo, so they aren’t cheap.  Sparky is going to keep getting these until he comes around or refuses treats.

Renaissance festivals

Maryland Renaissance Festival Has Banned Furries This Year

Wenches, beggars and barbarians are welcome at this year’s Maryland Renaissance Festival. Furries are not.

And the furries — that is, the subculture defined by people who wear anthropomorphic animal costumes — have their dander up about it.

Jousting is the official state sport of Maryland.  Their renaissance festivals should be pretty good, so apparently they don’t need furries.

Sparky has a busy day.

On the night watch, we encountered a skunk.  Luckily, I saw the skunk first.  Sparky never saw it, but when he picked up the scent, he really wanted to track it.   I had his leash, so we continued up to the house, but Sparky is thrilled that he scared off the intruder.  That’s how he tells the story, and he will be talking about this for days.

Sparky takes a rare nap.

Sparky keeps his afternoons free to relax, but he is usually only 60% asleep.  Or 70%, who knows?  He naps with his eyes open so he doesn’t miss a car ride or any chance of food.  

Sparky may have been warn out from that exciting dawn patrol, or he thinks there is little chance of a car ride or more snacks.
