Since I have been chronicling Sparky’s journey, this seemed like a data point that couldn’t be excluded.

Sparky pooped on Mr. Moose.  Decorum compels me to mask the evidence.  It was a walk on a dark night, so maybe I’m making too much of this, but that’s my main job, so I speculate.

It’s not uncommon to have a falling-out with someone who was once a cherished friend.  I had a dear friend who had a vastly different political perspective.  We had a disagreeable exchange on social media, and that was it.  Sparky hasn’t expressed an interest in politics, but he would naturally have an affinity for Biden biting babies. 

Mr. Moose has always been in the Bull Moose Party, supporting the formerly Republican, Theodore Roosevelt.  TR has been dead for a hundred years and Biden isn’t running, but Sparky and Mr. Moose don’t keep up on current events.

Whatever the reason, Mr. Moose is out of the rotation until he gets washed.
