Welcome to Pet Talk Laura and precious Sparkey! Dogs have such an amazing ability to teach us how to give and receive love. Your daughter's beautiful boy is a shining example of that! I think Sparkey came to stay because he had a very special job to do, showing your son in law what unconditional love is there for taking, all wrapped up in a furry package! What a great story! My name is Sandra and I'm owned by Star, a yellow Lab, Cody, a Husky X, 2 kitties Mr. B and Oliver and 2 guinea pigs, Moon and Rosie! Looking forward to hearing more about sweet Sparkey!
