Welcome to my space.
This is my fourth time at #AtoZChallenge and my theme this year is Sparky, my 11-year-old Dalmatian. You can read all about my theme here.
People give us envious looks and nudge whoever they are with to point at us, more specifically at Sparky. She plays to the gallery, obeys all our commands willingly. She is a perfect dog out on a walk with her beloved masters, or so she portrays to the world. we take her out without putting a leash on her and she listens to our polite instructions when we ask her to walk on the left side of the road, or to cross the road, turn back etc.
Bach home it is a different story altogether:) She has modified Newton’s third law of motion, her version reads, ‘Every command has an equally opposite reaction.’
When asked to sit, she remains standing defiantly, when we request her to get up to let the maid clean the corner, she sits glued to the floor and eyes us haughtily. No amount of yelling, pleading or cajoling has any effect on her pretty little adorable ears. She ignores us royally and completely.
She can shake hands, dance on her two hind legs and crawl like a commando but all these activities happen only when she desires, never at our humble requests 😉
We know she is obedient but only when it suits her, the rest of the world is fooled by her trickery. The bottom line is that we love her unconditionally.

Oh wow I’m impressed that you can take Sparky for a walk without a leash. That is the ultimate in obedience.
Aww, that is so sweet! Sparky seems to be a darling! The thing about her not moving an inch when the maid comes to clean seems just like my Chikoo’s story! He is my 11 year old lab, equally smart and loving, but doing what he pleases, as and when he pleases to do it! 🙂
Hahaha..pets can be a lot like toddlers. My son is the picture of obedience and innocence in front of others, but at home, he is our lord and master 😛

Aha! Fooling the world like we do in front of others 😉 Only parents know how naughty their kids are but for the rest of the world, they are perfect kids 😀 Sparky is really a darling <3
