2014 Sparky and his servant |
Chapter 40
The next adventure.
May 2nd, 2025, Sparky departed for his next
epic adventure, somewhere in the Universe.
He’s been suffering from chronic pain for years, and
his medications weren't effective anymore. His spine and joints were
disintegrating with age, and the after-effects of being hit by a car when he
was very young.
When he adopted us, he could only use three legs. The
back right leg was weak and damaged. Over time, we were able to help him regain
the use of the damaged leg, but when he was tired, he lifted it to run. Now the
pain in his right shoulder, his right hip, and his spine is causing him distress.

2016 Lawrie, Sparky watching the Super Bowl |
He’s traveled on airplanes seven times. Since
returning to Canada in March of 2020, we have traveled 120,000 kilometers on
driving trips and adventures. We visited fourteen American states and nine
Canadian provinces.
I deeply miss his independent and quirky personality.
His steadfast companionship. And his snoring!
Enjoy your next epic adventure, Sparky. Sir Fuzz-butt.
The Sparkinator.
You were the very best surprise gift for Lawrie and me.
