Sparky is still worn out from yesterday and is sleeping in.

I don’t like to work anymore.
Today might be the last day warm enough to seal the aux. driveway, so I did. To apply Drive Maxx 700, it should be over 60o, and above 50o for 36 hours with no rain.
Reviews say that it looks great when it’s dry. It does. That’s what pisses me off.
Sparky got a car ride as I hitched up the camper, and moved it back 30 feet off of the aux. driveway. It was barely a car ride, but Sparky didn’t seem to know the difference. After that, Sparky got to spend the day outside as I edged and scrubbed the driveway.
A week ago, it looked like I’d be able to seal the driveway, before the weather turned too cold. I need two warm days, but it may be too late in the year.
We are watching the trailer for the Brad Pitt movie, Heart of the Beast. Sparky thinks we should go see it because he is a hero, like the dog in the movie.
How are you a hero?
I’m not good at sleeping in, so early this morning, I moved out to the couch. Sparky came over to stand guard.
I thanked him for his service.
Sparky is so vigilant. I suggested that maybe the windows and doors would be enough to keep the chipmunks from invading.
When it’s chilly, we like to sit outside, wrapped up in a light blanket. Sparky wants to watch the night for invaders. I like to cover us with the blanket, and tell him that we’re in a tent. Sparky plays along until I get it out of my system.
Sparkly hasn’t gotten a post in a while, so here he is just before lying down to sleep.
Since he is a free man with agency, Sparky can sleep where ever he wants. I like that he’s got a favorite spot on the couch, with a couple of pillows.
Sparky often looks somber and introspective at bedtime. He might be gloomy because we don’t goof around when we go out for the last whiz of the night. I don’t want him to think it’s play time. Or, maybe it’s because he can get night terrors, so isn’t eager to go back to the land of Nod. Or he doesn’t like the blue light.
Sparky is probably just hungry.
I always take a minute to sit with Sparky to let him know that he is a good boy.
Howling with Sparky is my favorite thing.
Poor Señor Piglet. Being naturally charming, he likes being around people for the attention and treats. Sparky had two social engagements today, and that has worn him out.
Sparky likes being on guard duty. If a man or animal came up, Sparky’s first move would be to make friends.
