As Sparky adjusts to life without Rusty, he is attempting to establish a new normal.  Pre-Rusty, Sparky slept in my bedroom, his crate, under the dining room table, and other places that weren’t on the couch. 

Two mornings in a row, I have found him on the couch.  Sparky doesn’t know if this is going to fly, but he intends to play it out.
