Sparky! Watch out! The squirrels! The squirrels! They SEE you! RUN! RUN!

Sparky, do you hear me?
Can you feel me near you?
Sparky, do you hear me?
Can I help to cheer you?

Sparky? SPARKY! RUN!

(*sigh*)

Actually, I lost Sparky on the streets, last night. Black dog, fairly-deaf to commands, vanished in the inky darkness.

I thought he went the long way around, so I double-backed and went that way, but I was mistaken. I circled back and eventually located him, 15 minutes later, snuffling in some hedges, as if everything was just fine.

Bad dog! Squirrel bait!
