The case of the disappearing bottom... 

Sparky had a weigh-in today, and we are pleased to report that he tipped the scales at 56.3 pounds!

It is difficult to tell the difference in him as I see him everyday, however, yesterday I got the roll of film that we shot of him the first few days that he was here developed (yes, this means pictures on the site soon!) and there is indeed a noticeable difference in him.

Sparky still has quite the rump and shelf, however, his backside no longer "bumps up" and is coming close to the same level as his back. Also, a little bump of a tail is beginning to be seen, although it is going to be quite some time before an actual tail appears.

He is going gang busters, and although he must be quite hungry most of the time, he doesn't complain at all.

At his new lower weight (remember that he has lost 10 pounds now!) he finds it easier to jump and run, and in fact tonight (as it was raining) he was jumping and "ducking" waiting for me to towel him off.

Sparky will be accompanying me to Canada this Christmas and I can't wait to take him out to the bush on my farm for some "hard-core" exploring!
