Interesting research about how pet ownership improves brain health. Okay, the research is actually really boring and the graphs are terrible, but the results are interesting.
Having a dog can make your brain perform like it’s 15 years younger. Cats do as well, but fish and birds don’t help at all.
It’s 2o below zero, so Sparky wanted to wear the fleece jumper I made for him a couple of days ago.
Sparky says this is a high-traffic pinch point because it’s the easiest way to get passed the highway fence. If I can get him a Mosin–Nagant, he says the coyote problem will be resolved.
Karl may have one. Hell, Karl may have Häyhä old rifle. He collects all kinds of stuff, and has a good opinion of Sparky. Karl could have a Suomi KP/-31, but he’d never let a dog use a submachine gun.
We had a thunder blizzard for a few minutes today. Sparky says that thunder and lightning don’t frighten him, but it does get him keyed up and ready for action.
When we went outside, Sparky went all winter wolf. Now he wants me to make him a winter camo jacket like a Finnish sniper.
In this photo, he looks more like a Swedish meatball.
Sparky observed that it’s been a while since he’s been in a music video.
“I like that one where Thor and those two girls beat up the skelertons. Can we do that?”
While we were on our walk, we practiced commands. The last video is my favorite, because Sparky follows orders until he doesn’t.
I put out a Costco Cheeto to see how he liked it. I did not expect him to react like this.
