Sparky-cam version 1 works, but not well. Sparky doesn’t mind wearing the camera, and the image is decent unless he’s running. His head blocks the camera and the mount isn’t adjustable.

Sparky and I went out for a winter walk with his POV rig. Good weather has brought out a lot of wildlife, so there were plenty of tracks for Sparky to check out.
While Sparky and I were goofing around under the dining room table, I noticed that the rug needed to be vacuumed. That didn’t sound fun, so I figured out how to mount a camera on Sparky’s back.
Sparky had some drama on Valentine’s Day, but he and Skunk have patched things up or come to an arrangement. I don’t know, I wasn’t really listening because Skunk is just a plushie from Tractor Supply.
We are getting the first complete snow melt-off in almost two months. Sparky is wondering why I’m scooping up all his poop, and tossing it into the woods. Sparky isn’t disappointed in me, but he is wondering why I bother.
Some people get their deepest sleep, while taking a nap. That’s how it is for Sparky. This a short video of Sparky taking a nap in REM sleep and vivid dreams. I made the video for a post on dog sleep, but thought I’d put it up without all the text.

This article is about the sleeping patterns of dogs compared to wolves. I am a Sparcheologist and not a dog scientist, but this research doesn’t match my experience. The author does get some things right.
I’m watching an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie called The 6th Day (2000). In the not too distant future, a company can illegally clone people. With a live person or fresh body, they can turn out a duplicate in a day or two. The clone is the same age, looks the same and has the memories of the original. The clone wakes up a little discombobulated, but doesn’t know he’s a clone.
A half-hour ago, Sparky and I were sitting on the couch having our morning chat. When I left him, he was warming his bones in front of the fire. I just went to get him for breakfast, and this is the situation. I was forty feet away, and hadn’t heard anything.
Sparky is a romantic. Last summer, we went up in the tree fort. Sparky got all giggly when he found this heart carved in the tree.
I shouldn’t have been surprised to run into Sparky’s drama on Valentine’s Day.
