I have a new refrigerator and my dog may be a racist.  Sparky likes everyone, but the delivery guys don’t know that and shouldn’t take my word for it.  As a courtesy, I had him in his crate.  As soon as Maurice looked at him, Sparky started barking like a bunch of turkeys were taking a shit in his yard.

I can’t explain it.  Sparky has met a couple of dozen friends and family since I’ve had him.  In my house and elsewhere, while he was in his crate or roaming around, men and women, dressed up and casual, he has always been cool.  Maurice has a dog, so maybe Sparky picked up the scent.  Otherwise, Sparky may be a racist.  He’s more than half black, so that makes it more troubling.
