Most of the day, Sparky didn’t know what was going on. Rusty wasn’t here, but we also weren’t having fun. It was worse than that. All of his favorite stuff was gone, so he spent the day in dreadful contemplation.

This morning, I took Rusty to the Cleveland APL. It’s off of West 14th, so I told him we were going to Tremont. Dogs like the sound of that.
Rusty is a great catch. He is three years old, has no nuts and good teeth. That’s the golden triad of appealing dog attributes.
Rusty is going to the Cleveland APL tomorrow morning. This is our typical breakfast and dinner, and I didn’t want to forget it.
It can take several weeks to get an appointment to bring in a dog, but we got a slot two days after the call. It’s better to get it over with. Rusty is a very good dog. I hate to give up on him, but It’s best for Sparky, and for me, and I hope it works out for Rusty.
We are working on something to make Rusty an appealing dog to adopt.
Until today, Sparky was good at every task that pays off with a treat. He can’t hope to compete on this one.
After my nap, Sparky wanted to get a little more sleep.
During our morning fellowship, Sparky told me that under the ancient gods, it never snowed after St. Patrick’s Day. That’s why we drink green beer.
He’s not wrong.
but he sure as hell gives it a good effort.
Sparky got a stuffed lamb for Easter. It’s his favorite thing.
A few things:
I wasn’t being tricky. I intended to throw Lambchop over the couch, but it landed on that plastic bin where Sparky might not be able to reach it.
The couch is on the edge of the rug. Sparky is trying to get on the couch without much traction on the hardwood floor. Sparky’s diligence is inspirational.
Sparky always liked being under the dining room table. With the solarium blocked off and a couch in front of the table, it is Sparky’s little fort. Rusty is an enthusiastic freedom hound, so prefers open spaces.
Since Rusty doesn’t come in, Sparky has been stashing his favorite toys in his hideout.
