When Sparky went out last night, he walked through the mud in the back yard.  I didn’t see him and Sparky didn’t mention it.  Rather than go to bed, Sparky wandered all over the place.

This morning, when I saw his mud tracks, I called Sparky over for a dog-shaming photo. 

Sparky wanted to be cooperative.  He didn’t know what we were doing, so did both of his tricks.  When Sparky sits on command, he looks like a beer slob.  When Sparky lays down on command, he looks like a human trying to lay down in a dog’s body.

Sparky was so pleased with his performance, he relaxed and got comfortable.  Sparky is cute by default, so I rubbed his belly and gave him a treat.

So I have to mop, big deal.
