Sparky is an outside dog.  He doesn’t care how cold it is, as long as he’s got somebody to talk to, it’s not raining and it’s not too cold.

A cold beer, on a cool night bundled up in a warm blanket, is good for a fella.  Sparky stays alert, watching for danger in the night.  A skunk had been through, so Sparky was eager to track it.  Of course we didn’t.

Staying that vigilant can tucker out a good dog.  He is already sleeping well.
