Sparky is a dog monster.

Sparky wanted me to get a photo before he sheds his antlers.

You got me, that’s a cheap fake.

This morning, the window was frosted up nicely, so I wanted a photo.  That would be boring, so I talked Sparky into posing.

Sparky didn’t mind standing on the stool, but he thought it was a little early in the morning for this creative nonsense.

That’s the actual photo, but for some reason, it looks phony as well.  Zooming in on the photo makes it look even more fake.

I wasn’t happy with the photo and Sparky wasn’t happy being photographed. 

Sparky says he looks fierce, but needs some boss antlers.   No effete deer antlers, but sturdy antlers that a fella could chew on for a while.

That was our favorite.  Sparky’s kaiju name is “inu kaibutsu”.  That means “dog monster”.

Here are some versions where Grok failed us.

Superfluous ears?  Comic antlers?  Elongated face?

Just bad.

Those don’t even look like antlers.

Anyway, this is what Sparky and I are doing this morning.
