Sparky enjoys novel experiences. Well, I think he does, who knows? He still runs like mad when we play “Chase the Moose” with the Maxx. For all I know, he thinks Mr. Moose is being kidnapped. With Winter coming, we need an alternative. In snow, the Maxx breaks traction, spins around and is no challenge. Sparky grabs Mr. Moose, and drags the RC car back to the deck. On wet grass, we are evenly matched.

Like a magician, Sparky never reveals how he does his tricks.
The fire had burned down in the wood stove, so this morning it was 65o . I put a sweater on him until the fire could be stoked back up. By the time I’d taken my shower, he was out of it.
Getting him into the sweater was like stuffing a sausage, I can’t imagine how he managed to take it off.
Joanne got Sparky some gifts for Thanksgiving. Here’s Sparky wearing the sweater he needed when we were camping in Fargo.
I put the camera on the shed to get a better video of Sparky’s Moose Run.
Sparky needs exercise and enjoys novel experiences. I am a problem solver and have a bunch of RC cars. I tethered Mr. Moose to the back of a Traxxas Maxx. Better to turn the sound down. The audio track is on, but just RC noise.
While the weather holds, Sparky thought we should go for a car ride to the Towpath.
My apple trees really came through this year. As I was picking them, Sparky decided to get in on the action. He likes the idea of apples, but doesn’t actually eat them.
Most of the apples will go to feeding the deer, but some looked so good, I’m making apple butter.
I have a blog because I got a dog. Sparky is a great dog and I can go on about him. I have a blog so I can write about having a dog without boring everyone to death. I can’t imagine how a mundane article like this gets column space in the Wall Street Journal, but of course I read it.
I am not now, nor have I ever been, a dog person. One of my earliest memories of a dog is from when I was around 5 years old and a neighbor’s golden retriever knocked me face-first into the concrete.
I underestimated my sneaky puppy. This morning, I posted about Sparky being a picky eater, but he’s way beyond that. Before taking Sparky out for his evening walk, I saw this.
