Sparky can’t resist Mr. Moose, so I exploit his love to challenge his intellect.

It’s a full moon, so dogs gotta howl. Next time, we’ll wait until it gets dark.
The invasive, eel-like parasite has a round mouth filled with concentric rows of tiny teeth that could creep out a dentist. The varmint attaches to trout, salmon and other sport fish and slowly drains them of vital fluids. When the client’s bizarre catch hit the deck on the Campbells’ boat, the 10-inch lamprey released its hold and tried to get away, creating panic on the vessel.
At least they are blaming Covid and not Global Warming.
Making a good electric car is challenging. It’s also difficult to make a good aircraft. Making a flying car isn’t likely to be very good at either function, but it’s fun to see them try.
When I’ve asked colleagues what they intend to do after they retire, the stock answer is, “Whatever I want!”

This wasn’t a tactic in my battle of wits with Sparky. He went for a walkabout yesterday, so one can understand that it looks like I was trying to entice Sparky into being happier at home. He is happy here, I’ve just been meaning to slice up a ham I had in the freezer, vacuum pack the ham slices and boil the ham bone for future use, it’s all routine.
After the ham bone was boiled, I thought Sparky might have some use for it.
Sparky ran off yesterday. He doesn’t really run away, Sparky runs toward a objective, usually something stinky. When Sparky goes to ground, he would be impossible to find because he likes dense brush, briar patches and holes.
