We just watched Lord of the Rings, and Sparky thought Gollum made a good case for eating raw fish and rabbits. Sparky wanted to post a picture as Sh-beagle.

Sparky wants me to feel better, so thinks I should lick his paw a bunch of times. He says that usually helps him.
We tried Search and Rescue again today, and it didn’t go the way I expected.
To foster Sparky’s intellectual development, we started a new training exercise. It’s really just hide-and-seek, but Sparky likes it better if we call it search-and-rescue. He wants me to get him an orange vest that says, “RESCUE DOG”. I reminded him that dogs can’t see the color orange, but he doesn’t care.
This time, I thought Sparky’s argument was really weak, and I had some complaints of my own.
Sparky wants to know why I just automatically assume that I got the cold from him. I have been out to all sorts of places, and he just stays home for no reason. So I probably got the cold and got Sparky sick.
Sparky is offended by the assumption that I got my cold from him.
Oh yeah, he finally got out of bed around noon. That gave me time to consider adapting my cold mitigation protocol for him.
I don’t even know if that’s possible, but with viruses, something isn’t possible until it happens, or everything is possible all the time.
I should be at Costco or Planet Fitness right now, but since I usually wake up around 7 am, an early afternoon nap seemed like a good idea. Being a well-mannered pup, Sparky waits for an invitation to hop up on the couch. He is far too cute not to be invited up.
It’s a good thing I ordered early. Sparky would have lost all faith in my judgement. The pet bed warmer I got for Sparky is completely ineffective. I’d have better luck keeping Sparky warm by reciting bawdy limericks all night.
