Sidebar: At lunchtime, Sparky, still steering clear of the dogs, pulled some shenanigans by trying to jump onto the table to purloin some food. Unfortunately for Sparky, he was too short to jump onto these foreign tables because he had not yet been able to study them for tricks. Now back to the story…
After lunch, everybody went outside to the backyard to enjoy the rare warm weather. When Sparky went outside, he went right to the fence to stay on guard for anything that he might need to protect us from in the very far distance, which was on the other side of a canal.
And guess what? My uncle’s dogs did the same thing, which initially made Sparky a bit aghast. But the next thing you know, a person could be seen walking their dog in the very far distance on the other side of the canal, and Sparky did his thing.
Even though my uncle’s dogs were also barking, Sparky really impressed everyone with his way-too-loud beagle A-ROO. He was able to find common ground with his new friends, who seemed to really respect his skills for guarding against things in the very far distance. When it was time for us all to leave, Sparky was sad saying goodbye to his new friends.
That's all for now. Thanks for coming to my Spark Bark!
