They both look happy.

Sparky wasn’t a bit salty when Rusty jumped in the snack pit.
Business Insider: The most famous local sandwich from every state
You can tell a lot about a state by their sandwich.
For Ohio, it’s a Polish boy.
Not to be confused with Louisiana’s po’ boy, Ohio’s Polish boy is a sausage sandwich native to Cleveland. It has a link of kielbasa covered with a layer of french fries, barbecue or hot sauce, and coleslaw, all on a bun.
The list is probably just made up, but still, that’s a pretty good sandwich.

Rusty thinks we go outside to catch the guy who is drilling holes in the ground.
Spoiler Alert: It’s chipmunks.
Rusty doesn’t know he’s supposed to do his dirty business, so we can go back inside and be comfortable. How can somebody be convinced to go to the bathroom?

With the blizzard, the dogs aren’t so eager to go outside, so it gets a little boring. To spice things up, I brought in the snack pit. Rusty thinks the plastic balls are the snack, so he’s chewed up about a dozen of them. Sparky likes to just sit in there to get away from it all.
NYT: JPMorgan Admits It Shut Trump’s Accounts
NYT: JPMorgan Admits It Shut Trump’s Accounts
In a response to a lawsuit filed last month by Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization, JPMorgan, the nation’s largest bank, said for the first time late Friday that it cut off more than 50 Trump accounts in February 2021, shortly after Mr. Trump’s first term ended.
Let that sink in. A month after a president leaves office, The nation’s largest bank attempts to financially cripple him. JPMorgan provided no explanation, so it’s not known who told them to freeze the accounts.
Sparky is a an adorable pup. I wasn’t going to post about this, but covering for him to preserve his image seemed dysfunctional and dishonest.
Sparky and Rusty have been getting along pretty well. When I take them both on a walk, Sparky is not on a leash so he is up ahead, leading the way. Occasionally, they are close enough to play doggie frolicking games. If it seems to be getting intense, I pull Rusty back and send Sparky on.
I’ve been feeding them individually, with the other guy crated. Last night, I fed Sparky first, and wanted to see if he could handle being out while I fed Rusty. It didn’t go well.
Sparky stayed back when I let Rusty out. When Rusty started eating, Sparky went in to join him. Rusty didn’t want to share. It went kinetic. When they started the furious snapping at each other, I reached in to separate them.
Since Sparky was doing most of the biting, I blame him. It wasn’t intentional. I should not have reached in. Both dogs have had all of their shots, so that’s not a concern.
There is a photo after the jump, so don’t click.

It’s not easy being the new guy. Rusty is friendly and eager to please. He gets affection and attention, but with Sparky around, it’s hardly fair.

Rusty came out of his nut job well, and is the opposite of everything the vet said to expect.

That’s what I’m getting from Rusty’s expression as I take him for his nut job. He knows this isn’t a joy ride.
