Many dogs are frightened by 4th of July fireworks, but Sparky says that he isn’t one of them. He tried to act casual and keep the conversation light, but it seemed like whistling past the grave yard.

Just Sparky running with the ATV. For a dog who is going to be 12 years old at the end of the month, he can still turn on the jets. He peels off after passing the bush with the rabbits.
The clanking and rattling is from the tools in the trailer towed by the ATV.
In the comments, Marc mentioned how Sparky might appreciate doggie ice cream to help him handle the hot weather. That reminded me of the Fatima dogs of Portugal.
These dogs are fine. The Sanctuary of Fatima does not leave dead dogs in the square.
It’s 93o outside, so I’m staying in and catching up on some housecleaning. Sparky wanted to keep me company, but him walking on wet floors wasn’t helping. He doesn’t fully trust the vacuum cleaner. Since I was screwing up his afternoon, he decided to just go to bed until I settled down.
Or maybe Sparky didn’t like what I was listening to on Spotify.
For the first time ever, Sparky got to chase a rabbit by looking where I was pointing.
Having a Master’s in Engineering and a robotics patent, I was the obvious choice when my sister needed a light bulb changed. This was just a pretext to get me to bring Sparky for a family visit. My sister didn’t need the pretext. Sparky loves car rides, a change of scenery and entertaining a friendly audience.
When I put on my shoes and grab the car keys, Sparky assumes we are going for a ride. He doesn’t want me to forget that I have a dog, and leave without him. I hate to disappoint him, so if he isn’t coming along, I trick him so he doesn’t see me leave.
Sparky raised his right hand to solemnly pledge that he was seriously hungry. From the look on his face, he wasn’t bullshitting me. When I told him it wasn’t dinner time yet, he gave me the evil eye.
Earlier in the day, I grilled venison steaks. Sparky was salty that he didn’t get any.
