Sparky - One month later



What a sweet boy! Sparky has integrated into the pack very well. There were a few rough spots with Tasha, but that was based on her issues and not his. Everyone gets along very well and Sparky has fit into the daily routines. He loves his walks, chasing lizards in the yard, and especially his Jeep rides. He sits in the back--harnessed in for safety--and watches the world go by. He rides like a pro and doesn't move around a lot. If it gets too bumpy or windy, he lays down. Seeing other dogs doesn't trigger any reaction...it's his ride and nothing will ruin it.

Hard to believe that he was in the shelter for all those months without anyone seeing his potential and adopting him. Of course the shelter staff knew he was a great dog...they all loved him and he was a mascot around the place. Like Bella before him, everyone else's miss was our big hit! His personality is a mix of our beloved Sam and Boris, hitting the best parts of both of them. We're convinced that they've sent him with instructions on how to live here.

Stay tuned for more!
