This is a short clip of our afternoon walk. Sparky is happy to be outside and checking on whatever it is that he checks on. Sparky shows no sign of discomfort. I’m still concerned.

As soon as the camera picked up the guy, it was obvious. With the aux driveway paved and the regular driveway unimproved, Amazon is delivering to my back deck. That might be better than the front door.
Porch thieves aren’t a problem, but packages are less obvious on the back deck. Packages on the deck will be more obvious to me, so my stuff won’t be sitting outside for a couple of days. For the drivers, this is quick and easy.
It took until 8:30 pm for Sparky to do more than sleep. When he lifted his head to look around, I told him about the rice and brisket gravy in his bowl. After he ate that, he felt pretty good.
Sparky was dropped off at the vet at 8 am, and we picked him up at 3 pm. I didn’t realize that minor dog surgery can take all day. He is fine, but punky. Sparky had a tooth removed, sutures on his belly and evidence of a tape worm.
This video is going up as Sparky is going in for his belly-scraping surgery. He is getting a biopsy, so we won’t know anything definitive afterward, but Sparky will have to wear his cone of shame. He may not feel so good after the procedure, so a Benny Hill video might raise his spirits.
One of Sparky’s most considerate and genteel habits is to do his dirty business in the least objectionable spot available.
Sparky is still working on the cat puzzle he got at Aunt Joanne’s Fun House.
When I got out of bed this morning, it was 46o outside. A fire would be overkill, but really nice.
