Oh, there he is!

The effect would be more convincing if we were out in the snow, or if I had tiled my kitchen in polished gray marble.  That shit is like $60 per square foot, and that’s ten bucks more than it cost to adopt Sparky. 

Stupid orphanage.  I bet Sparky was the only dog in that place that knew you have to lower your camo hood when a helicopter flies over.

I didn’t really test Sparky with a helicopter, drone, or even a ceiling fan.  I’m just guessing at his motivation.

Early on, when I was measuring and fitting Sparky, he thought we were going to do a puppet show, and he was supposed to be a ghost.  He wants to play the ghost of Christmas past, so he tried to look somber and dignified.

I reminded him that we were working on his winter camouflage.  Sparky wants to play Häyhä in our puppet show. He wanted to show me that he could look as fierce as that famous Finnish sniper from the Winter War.

That would scare any Russian. 

I got Sparky straightened out.  Turns out ever since we watched Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, he’s been all mixed up about puppet shows.
