Sparky came to us much like Roo did.... In December 2005, we found Sparky on the pet-finder adoption website and decided to go and visit with him at the shelter he was at. Needless to say, just taking one look at him, we knew we had to bring him home and give him a good life. The shelter he was at was full of big dogs and he was sooo tiny and smelled so bad. Although he was being taken care of with food and shelter... he wasnt getting a quality life in which he deserved. Chris and I took him home, had him groomed and he is now a great member of our family.
He is blind and can't hear all to well... he also has a bad leg in which he limps around on but that doesnt stop this little guy from running around following me from room to room.
He doesnt like the other 3 dogs much.. he will bark at them if they get into his "personal space" but thats all he does. he doesnt bite or anything. He likes to be by me and only me. He loves sitting in the desk drawer that I cleaned out and lined with a towel. It is low to the ground and he jumps right into it and if the drawer isnt open, he will scratch at it until someone opens it for him.
He is approximately 10 - 12 yrs old or so, we arent exactly sure but he is full of life and he is very sweet! He plays with my feet like a cat... he will rub against them and lie on his back and wiggle his paws around.... I think he was raised with cats at some point in his life because even though he barks at the other dogs we have, he doesnt mind the cats at all. Thats our Sparky-Doodle!! The 4th addition to the Poodle Ranch here in Tennessee!! |
