Home Life > Friday Pet Blogging: Sparky the Wonder Dog

That's Sparky, our poodle mutt. He used to belong to Geneva, Melissa's grandmother. He was in a house with Geneva, her granddaughter, grandson, his wife, and their two kids. Geneva asked us to keep the dog during the Christmas holidays, and then decided she really didn't need a dog while taking care of two great grandkids, so we agreed to keep him.

After combining households, Melissa and I already had a dog and three cats. We took Sparky in, with the understanding that four pets was the limit, and we're temporarily going over that. I couldn't really say no, because he got along so great with our other dog, and she needed a playmate to keep her company.

Sparkydoodle is about two years old, so he's rambunctious, but he's learning commands and he's an affectionate little dog. His only bad habit now is that after a bath he likes to pee in the house. Gotta work on that, but for a little rag mop he's OK.

PS Speaking of pet blogging, you have to go see the redneck pet carrier.
