Grumpy Old Dog

We are still doggie sitting until my daughter gets her yard and fence completed. "Sparky" is a Corgi and he is a grumpy old dog. I am not sure if he was that way when he got here or if he has learned from me.

He much prefers to be left alone, except at meal time. I try to feed him each morning around 8:00. He has now decided that is when I am supposed to feed him. Sparky is at the back door and gets upset if I am late. And, he wants a pat on the head after his meal. The remainder of the day, he has no interest in socializing with humans. His time is devoted to barking at anything he sees outside the fence, like rabbits, squirrels, birds, other dogs, horses, sheep and the occasional opossum or racoon. He will chase anything; like bumble bees or wasp. Anything that annoys him, gets a good chase or at least a good bark; kind of like a grumpy old man.

I like Sparky. We have a lot in common.
