Yep, I'm looking at you! Have you read about me yet?

Yep, I'm looking at you!

I'm Sparky, and I'm one of the main characters in the Isla Mujeres Mystery series. In my opinion, I am the main character. That will be a future negotiating point with my author. Does anyone know a good contract lawyer?

I digress. 

I am a handsome pure-bred Mexican low-rider, beach dog, and I have an extraordinary sense of smell that helps me solve mysteries.

I have curly white and grey terrier fur, with long, dark, Spaniel-type ears, and expressive brown eyes. (That's what my author says.) Pretty cool, right?

My author and me, "Gotta Day"

I am also fiercely protective of my humans - real and imaginary - which occasionally gets me into trouble in the novels. I haven't actually bitten anyone, but I would to protect my family. I might be short, but I am fierce. 

When I was about a year and a half old, my first owner left me to fend for myself. I was afraid of humans, covered in fleas and ticks, and hungry. 

A very nice lady named Yumiko and her friend Andy convinced me I was safe taking food and water from them. They also untangled the knots in my fur, gave me a haircut, and pulled off a whole lot of those painful, nasty ticks.

Unfortunately, they didn't live here in Mexico; they were only here for a short time, so they played a trick on their friends.

Thomas' books arriving at our casa

While their friends were on holiday from their home here in paradise, Andy babysat their two cats, Thomas and Chica. But by the time the friends came back to their house, they had the two cats and me! 

I thought it was a great trick. I had a nice home to live in - and the people gained an amazingly brilliant dog!

Even though Thomas was the big star in those days, he was nice to me, the new kid. He has his own bilingual book for children, The Adventures of Thomas the Cat. Chica is also in the book. 

I wasn't part of their family yet, so I am not in that book, but I am the star in all of the Isla Mujeres Mysteries. 

Boo, doing what cats do best, sleeping!

Thomas and Chica are both gone now to pet heaven, and I have a new roommate, a black female cat named Boo. Nope, we didn't name her. Someone else in the neighbourhood did. She adopted us and comes and goes as she pleases. She isn't as friendly as Thomas or Chica, but she is learning.

In the sunlight, her fur has dark red and orange tones, so she isn't a pure black cat. She also tried to come with us this morning on a golf cart ride. Silly cat. Golf carts are for dogs, not cats.

I'm keeping my eye on you!

Gotta go help my human make lunch. I'll chat again another day. 

Cheers, Sparky
