Sparky is a Spark

Just for fun, watch this. If you’re feeling blue, this will make you feel better with its simple quest –

Our dog Spark is a cool dood. He has a sexy walk, happily prancing with his head held high when we set out on our daily walks. Here’s a photo of him, boldly sticking his head out the half-opened back window of our car to take in the scents of Yosemite Park on our recent road trip. He intereacts with the world energetically, reminding us of our younger, adventuresome selves.

He’s rejuvenated our sense of joy.

It seems that every aspect of nature tantalizes his senses. He’ll wade into burr-laden weeds, mindless of the aftermath when he’ll despise the energetic brushing of his curly coat, so like the shag carpet of the ’70s (but with a better color than that dreaded orange). Sniffing out new items received in an Amazon box as if we were our personal bomb sniffer. – or is he just nosy and/or motivated by self-interest that the box will contain a new toy or treat for him.

Thank goodness he only accompanies my husband on all bathroom visits.

During the day, he’s either lying about in sloth mode or zooming like a torpedo when he’s overjoyed. Velcro’d to my husband’s leg, behaving like a Victorian theater kids with abandonment issues, or lovingly working a bone – day after day. Begging for food table side, despite having devoured his full dog bowl of food. Like a growing teenager, he doesn’t modulate his eating, so we must. We also must moniter his food choices: once he ate a small bag of grapes that are highly toxic to dogs.

He must have a cast iron stomach.Taking out the trash? Spark watches from the doorway like my husband’s being shipped off to war or rushes to accompany him in hopes in rifling though the can’s contents for another chew of whatever. He’s dismantled “indestructible” toys within hours, tossing aside the stuffing so assiduously our carpet looks as if it’s covered in snow.. The large ball-like sqeaker from one of those toys has become  almost an emotional support toy. Sometimes he moans orgasmically and/or seems to be miming the squeak sequences of othersIn short, he’s a delight, who’s rescued us since we rescued him.
